UN: Iran using drones to enforce hijab law
A report by the United Nations says Iran is using advanced technology, including drones, facial recognition and a citizen-reporting app to crack down _______ violations of its mandatory hijab laws.
A key element of the eff ort is the government - backed Nazer app, which enables the police and "vetted" members of the public to report alleged violations by women in vehicles, including those in ambulances, mass transit and taxis.
The report describes the app as allowing users to upload the vehicle license plate, location and time of an alleged violation. It then, according to the report, alerts police. Then, according to the report, the app "triggers a text message (in real-time) to the registered owner of the vehicle, warning them that they had been found ______ violation of the mandatory hijab laws, and that their vehicles would be impounded for ignoring these warnings."
According to the report, authorities are using drones in Tehran and the southern part of the country to monitor hijab compliance in public areas, as well as new facial recognition software said to have been installed last year _______ the entrance of Tehran’s Amirkabir University.

While ESP teachers may have some understanding of the fields in which their students work, these teachers do not have to be knowledgeable in all of these fields. A degree in law or medicine is not required of teachers in ESP courses for lawyers or doctors. In ESP, teachers’ and students’ roles are different but complementary. Teachers are the language education specialists; they know (about) English in addition to having pedagogical skills. Students, on the other hand, have some knowledge of their professional field (generally in their first language) and usually have a real motivation to learn the language (e.g., communicate with clients, read a manual, be promoted). It is not possible to generalize, however, whether they know English.

Read the following text and answer question.
Spain announces plans to ban social media for under -16s
Spain has become the latest European country to make plans to ban social media for children under the age of 16. The ban, which still needs parliamentary approval, is part of a raft of changes that include making company executives responsible for "illegal or harmful content" on their platforms.
Australia became the world's first country to bring in a ban last year, with others watching - and judging - its success. France, Denmark and Austria have also announced that they are considering their own national age limits.
The UK government has launched a consultation on whether to implement a ban for under-16s. Social media companies have argued that the bans would be ineffective, difficult to implement and could isolate vulnerable teenagers. Reddit is challenging Australia's ban in the High Court.
The new laws would also criminalise manipulating algorithms to amplify illegal content. The European Commission has launched an investigation into Grok [X's AI tool] over concerns it was used to create sexualised images of real people. The UK has announced its own investigation into Grok and on Tuesday in France, the offices of X were raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit as it looked into allegations of off ences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.
In response to the announcement, X owner Elon Musk labelled Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a "tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain". TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram have all been approached for comment. France has led the charge in Europe, with President Emmanuel Macron saying he wants a ban for under-15s in place by the start of the next school year in September.

Read the following passage from Passing, by Nella Larsen, and answer the question.
Stepping out of the elevator that had brought her to the roof, she was led to a table just in front of a long window whose gently moving curtains suggested a cool breeze. It was, she thought, like being wafted upward on a magic carpet to another world, pleasant, quiet, and strangely remote from the sizzling one that she had left below.

The word that does NOT complete the sentence in the following text is:
Information and communication technology (ICT) has completely changed many facets of modern life, including education. The way learners study and teachers instruct has changed significantly as a result of the incorporation of ICT into the sphere of education. Language acquisition, especially when it comes to learning the English language, is one of the areas where ICT has had a _____________ impact. The environment for developing the English language has changed as a result of information and communication technology. It has improved inclusion, made education more accessible, and offered possibilities for immersion language practice. To effectively utilize the potential of ICT in English language progress, it is crucial to overcome issues like digital distractions and the digital divide. Technology's role in language learning is likely to change as it advances, providing increasingly more creative and efficient ways to improve English language ability.

Choose the alternative below that presents the correct sequence from top to bottom:
Analyze the following verbal structure extracted from a technical discussion:
"The anomalous results could not have been obtained without the integration of high-precision sensors."
From a pedagogical and linguistic perspective, the complexity of this verbal group is justified because it allows the author to:
I. The head of the phrase is "guidelines", which receives multiple levels of pre-modification, creating a high information density typical of Technical English (ESP).
II. The word "safety" functions as a noun adjunct, but it specifically modifies the compound unit "protocol guidelines", rather than just the word "protocol".
III. The adverbial-adjectival block "recently updated" establishes a temporal boundary that restricts the entire subsequent nominal chain.
Based on the principles of Nominal Groups, choose the correct option:

GenAI and the Future of Literacy
The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education has sparked a debate about the evolution of writing. According to The Guardian (2024), while some fear the erosion of basic skills, a pedagogical approach that seeks to move beyond the mere substitution of traditional tasks focuses on "AI Literacy." In this framework, teachers encourage students to use AI to generate multiple versions of a technical abstract and then critically compare them for stylistic nuances and factual accuracy. This practice primarily aims to develop students' critical evaluative skills and their ability to act as "human-in-the-loop" editors, ensuring that technology serves as a cognitive scaff old rather than a replacement for human agency.

( ) The "AI Literacy" framework focuses on the complete substitution of traditional writing tasks by automated AI tools.
( ) Critical comparison of AI-generated texts aims to enhance students' ability to identify stylistic nuances and factual errors.
( ) The pedagogical approach described encourages students to act as passive recipients of machine-generated content.
( ) The "human-in-the-loop" model ensures that human agency remains central to the writing and editing process.
( ) "Cognitive scaffolding" in this context implies that AI should eventually replace the need for human evaluative skills.

The Role of Materials in ESP
In the ESP context, the use of authentic materials is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Such materials are selected because they provide the 'carrier content'—the technical or professional information - through which the 'real content' (the target language structures and skills) is practiced. According to Dudley-Evans and St John, the authenticity of the task is often more important than the authenticity of the text itself. By using a technical manual in an 'Agroecology' course, the instructor ensures that the classroom environment mirrors the communicative demands of the students' future professional lives."
