Today's quick review: Marauders.

    Jeffrey Hubert (Bruce Willis), the president of a national chain of banks, comes under fire when a violent crew of robbers begins targeting his banks. Special Agent Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) of the FBI takes over the investigation f rom Sergeant tr/ims (Johnathon Schaech), a crooked Cincinnati cop. But as he dlgs deeper into the case, Montgomery learns that Hubert is involved in a much larger conspiracy.
    Marauders is an action thriller about a series oÍ bank robberies with an ulterior motive. Marauders places emphasis on its plot. The investigation takes Montgomery and his team (Adrian Grenier, Dave Bautista, and Lydia Hull) through the remains of a years-old conspiracy, uncovering puzzle after puzzle as they dig for the truth. The movie's expansive mystery, moment-to-moment thrills, and solid pacing make it fine choice for the right viewer.
    However, Marauders' main shortcoming is that it is too complicated for the type of story it is trying to tell. Instead of a streamlined investigation with one or two red herrings and a carefully prepared twist, Marauders tries to manage a sprawling conspiracy that involves numerous characters, hidden motives, and coincidences. As a result, the pieces never combine into a compelling whole, and the movie's best ideas have no room to breathe.
    Marauders is a serviceable pick for fans of the action genre. The action scenes are adequate, the mystery is interesting enough to drive the plot, and the cast does a fine job with the material they are given. Still, Marauders has a lot of missed potential when it comes to streamlinging its plot, and it faces stiff competition from other movies in the genre, making it a hard sell for more exacting viewers.
    For a bank robbery action thriller in a similar vein, try Den of Thieves, Triple 9, or Takers. For a more personal crime drama about a bank robbery, try The Town. For a bank job with a smarter plot, try Inside Man. For an action thriller with a better conspiracy, try Shooter. For a more powerful cat-and-mouse game, try Law Abiding Citizen.

Cohesion in English is achieved through grammatical and lexical devices, as categorized in the seminal work by Halliday and Hasan. Regarding the use of substitution and ellipsis as cohesive mechanisms in discourse, mark T for True or F for False:

(__) Ellipsis can be defined as "substitution by zero," where a clause or part of it is omitted because it is understood from the context.
(__) Lexical cohesion is strictly limited to the repetition of the exact same word throughout a paragraph to maintain thematic unity.
(__) Anaphoric reference occurs when a pronoun refers forward to a noun that will only be introduced in the subsequent chapter of the book.

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
