An English teacher identified that a Brazilian student
consistently misused the word "actually" as a direct
translation of the Portuguese "atualmente," producing
sentences such as "Actually, the unemployment rate has
increased significantly," when intending to express the idea
of "at the present time." The teacher clarified that
"actually" is a false cognate meaning "in fact" or "in reality"
— used to correct or emphasize information — and that the correct English adverb to convey the temporal meaning of
"atualmente" is:

Defining the Role of a Tax Auditor
The core function of a tax auditor is to examine financial records and supporting documentation against the figures reported on
official returns, whether for individuals or corporations. This examination seeks to verify every line item, from gross receipts and
reported income to specific deductions claimed for ordinary and necessary business expenses. A primary goal is to confirm that the
taxpayer's stated liability aligns precisely with the relevant federal or state tax law.
The auditor works to identify discrepancies or misapplications of the law that may lead to an underpayment of taxes due. They
scrutinize documentation that supports deductions, such as receipts for depreciation claimed or substantiation for charitable
contributions. The auditor ultimately determines if the taxpayer owes additional tax, is due a refund, or if the return is accurate as filed.

South-East Asian floods leave more than 1
million homeless across Indonesia and Sri
Lanka
Recent flooding and landslides across
Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand have caused
severe devastation. More than 1,300 people have
died, and over 1.2 million residents in Indonesia
are displaced, many living in temporary shelters
under difficult conditions.
When rain began pelting villages on the
Indonesian island of Sumatra, residents thought
it could simply be another wet season storm. But
then it got heavier and it did not stop for days.
When floodwater began rising through their
homes, the residents realised how much trouble
they were in. Siti Nurbaya Siregar and her family
had to scramble to the roof once the water rose to
their ________________ necks.
"I was rescued by my neighbour on a tiny boat,"
the Langkat region resident said.
"It was loaded with my children, my mum, other
relatives. Altogether, seven of us were on it.
"At one point the boat almost flipped over on the
way to the rescue point."
Half of the homes in her village were destroyed.
Sri Lanka also reported more than
218,000 people in shelters, while rescue teams
continue searching for missing residents.
Governments in the region have
promised reconstruction, but displaced
communities continue to demand more
immediate support such as food, shelter, and
medical care.

Leave More Than 1 Million People Homeless Across
Indonesia and Sri Lanka." ABC News, 3 Dec. 2025.

Polysemy occurs when a single word has multiple related meanings depending on the context. Distinguishing these meanings is a key skill for advanced learners. Concerning polysemous words, mark T for True and F for False:
(__)The word 'bank' is polysemous because it can refer to a financial institution or the side of a river, and these meanings are historically related.
(__)In the sentence 'I can't bear the noise', the word 'bear' has a different meaning and grammatical category than in 'The polar bear is white'.
(__)Contextual clues such as collocations and the overall topic of the text are insufficient to determine the specific meaning of a polysemous word.
(__)A dictionary entry for a polysemous word typically lists all its related senses under a single heading, unlike homonyms which have separate entries.
After analysis, the correct sequence from top to bottom is:
