 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

 3 tablespoons kimchi juice

 1 tablespoon honey

 1 cup chopped kimchi

For the noodles

150 grams somen noodles

 2 soft-boiled eggs (7 minutes, jammy yolks)

 4 radishes, thinly sliced

To finish

Extra sesame oil, for drizzling

 2 tablespoons furikake

•Step 2 

Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the somen noodles and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water until completely cooled, then shake off excess water.

•Step 3

Toss together: Add the chilled noodles to the sauce bowl. Using tongs, gently mix until each strand is coated in the kimchi-gochujang sauce. 

•Step 4

Assemble: Divide the noodles between bowls. Top with cucumbers, shallot, tomatoes, soft-boiled eggs, and radishes. 

•Step 5

Finish & serve: Drizzle with a little extra sesame oil, sprinkle with furikake, and top with cilantro. Mix everything together at the table before eating.

Regarding morphosyntactic structures and verb phrase analysis in the recipe "Cold Kimchi Tomato Bibim Noodles," judge the statements below.

I.The phrasal verb "shake off" in "shake off excess water" consists of a transitive separable phrasal verb where "shake" functions as the lexical verb and "off" as an adverbial particle modifying the verb's meaning to indicate removal or elimination, and this construction could be paraphrased as "remove by shaking" without significant semantic loss.

II.The passive voice construction "until each strand is coated" demonstrates a grammatical transformation from an active equivalent "until the sauce coats each strand," where the patient (each strand) becomes the syntactic subject while the agent (sauce) is demoted or omitted, and this passivization serves the rhetorical function of maintaining focus on the noodles rather than the sauce throughout the instructional sequence.

III.The temporal subordinate clause "until completely cooled" in "rinse under cold water until completely cooled" exhibits ellipsis of the subject and auxiliary verb, with the complete structure being "until [the noodles are] completely cooled," and this syntactic reduction represents a common feature of procedural discourse where redundant elements are omitted for brevity and efficiency.


The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT:

Shipbuilder sued by owner, operator of ship in deadly Baltimore bridge collapse


The owner and operator of the container ship involved in a deadly Baltimore bridge collapse in March 2024 are suing the ship's builder, alleging a defective control panel design caused a power outage that led to the disaster.

The Dali twice lost power as it was departing Baltimore harbor and drifted out of control into a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the span and killing six highway workers.

The collapse also caused an extended supply chain snarl at the Port of Baltimore, which hosts a major coal terminal and had been the leading U.S. hub for vehicle imports.

In a lawsuit filed July 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and operator Synergy Marine Private Limited accused Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the ship's builder, of negligence that caused the fatal incident.

The plaintiffs charged that a defective design, specifically a loose wire in an electrical switchboard, caused a power outage at 1:25 a.m. the night of the collapse, cutting power to the engine and steering systems.

The National Transportation Safety Board in a 2024 report found that a cable that should have connected to a control for blackout protection was loose. That could have caused the switchboard to lose power without being detected.

Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine have denied wrongdoing since April 2024 but late that same year agreed to pay $102 million for civil claims brought by the federal government and other incident-related costs. 

The plaintiffs are seeking damages for vessel repairs and coverage for any third party claims.

     In 1867, a beautiful ship named the Mary Celeste left the coast of New York. The captain was a man named Benjamin Briggs, and he brought his family and crew to transport 1,700 barrels of alcohol to Italy. They never made it to their destination. The boat was found floating safely in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores Islands, on December 5, 1872. This did not look like a pirate attack, because nothing was stolen, and all of the paper documents were still on board. The only thing missing was the people.
