In the sentence from the second paragraph “If the concept of method authorizes theorizers to centralize pedagogic decision-making, the postmethod condition enables practitioners to generate location-specific, classroom-oriented innovative strategies”, the conditional clause can be correctly rewritten as:

In the excerpt from the second paragraph “we need to refigure the relationship between the theorizer and the practitioner”, the bolded word has been formed by the addition of the prefix re- to a base word. Mark the alternative in which the re- is a prefix in both words, and not part of the base word itself.

The word “while” has multiple meanings and functions. Mark the alternative in which it has the same meaning as the word in bold in the extract from the first paragraph in the text: “While alternative methods are primarily products of top-down processes”.

Pronouns are important elements for text cohesion. In the extract from the second paragraph “It signifies interrelated attributes”, the pronoun It has “the postmethod condition” as its referent. A pronoun it that does not have a referent and only performs a grammatical function is a “nonreferential it”. In the following sentences, a “nonreferencial it” is found in:

The following are characteristics of an approach used for second language teaching.

•  No use of the mother tongue is permitted (i.e., the teacher does not need to know the students’ native language).
•  Lessons begin with dialogues and anecdotes in modern conversational style.
•  Actions and pictures are used to make meanings clear.
•  Grammar is learned inductively.
•  The target culture is also taught inductively.
•  The teacher must be a native speaker or have nativelike proficiency in the target language.

The characteristics listed are consistent with the approach named

The end of the first paragraph “even as the methodological band played on, practicing teachers have been marching to a different drum” transported to second language teaching, means that, although methods have frequently been in use, practicing teachers have

The speech “Don’t try to sneak a water bottle past security this time” implies that the character in the cartoon

The word “like” in “like the added security of facial recognition” (2^nd paragraph) introduces a(n)

In the first sentence, when the author says that the debate “has reached a boiling point”, he means that the debate is 

In the last sentence, the author states that facial detection and recognition technologies

TEXT I

Alexa, What Is There to Know about Love? Brian Bilston Alexa, what is there to know about love? What is there to know about love? A glove is a garment that covers the hand for protection from the cold or dirt and – Alexa, how does a human heart work? How does a human heart work? Blood is first received in the right atrium via two veins, the vena cava superior and inferior – Alexa, where do we go to when we die? Where do we go to when we die? Activating Google Maps. Completed activation. Would you like to start from your current location? Alexa, what does it mean to be alone? What does it mean to be alone? It is the silence left by words unsaid, the cold expanse of half a bed. It is the endless stretching of the hours, the needless tending of plastic flowers. It is an echo unanswered in a cave, the fateful ping of the microwave. It is the fraying of a worn shirt cuff, and the howl – Stop, Alexa. That’s enough.

TEXT II

AI won’t take your job if you know about IA Intelligence augmentation shows that human + AI is an ideal partnership – and the future of white-collar work The less exciting but more likely reality is that the changes AI brings to the workplace will entail upskilling — when workers learn new skills — not reskilling or complete replacement. And upskilling is not about surrendering to AI but instead about mastering intelligence augmentation, or IA, which is what happens when humans and AI work together to accomplish more as a team than either could flying solo. That collaboration is based on the distinction between two concepts: reckoning and judgment. Reckoning vs. Judgment A critical difference between AI and humans is our primary mode of operation. AI operates through what is often referred to as “reckoning,” such as calculative prediction. By that, we mean AI’s true capabilities are grounded in facts and historical knowledge - data that can be calculated, memorized, and repeated. It makes predictions based on what it knows. By contrast, humans operate through judgment or practical wisdom. We understand things AI can’t possibly know. That’s because we humans have lived experiences that continually inform how we see the world. It’s the intangible factors, like ethical considerations and empathetic responses, that make humans better equipped than AI to make complex decisions about human affairs. This practical wisdom is one reason humans must keep creating new things for IA to advance. Imagine what would happen if humans stopped writing original content. The current model of AI could never pass a certain point because it would never encounter new, innovative ideas. Eventually, AI would run out of new ideas to share, and our collective knowledge would stagnate. AI is like moonlight; its ideas come from the reflected sunlight of human insights. Now, it’s essential to recognize that this contrast between AI and humans is nothing to fear. Instead, it shows us why “human + AI” is an ideal work partnership. AI can perform massive calculations in the blink of an eye at a pace far superior to even the most intelligent human on the planet. When paired with a human capable of making quick decisions based on lived experience, judgment, and practical wisdom, it’s an immensely more powerful tool than it is on its own.
