Let's work through these two cloze-style exercises together. We'll start with the first paragraph about a clean energy project and select the best fit from the word bank provided.
Exercise 1: Clean Energy Project
| Word Bank 1 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| abandon | consult | contrary | nutritional |
| conclusive | contemporary | convert | output |
The first sentence says the goal is to something a small laboratory into a modern research center. To change a space from one form to another, we use the word 'convert'.
(1) convert
Next, the results are surprising and blank to their original expectations. When results go against expectations, we say they are 'contrary' to them.
(2) contrary
Before they change their methods, they blank senior researchers for advice. Seeking advice from experts is known as 'consulting'.
(3) consult
The laboratory uses the most blank equipment. This refers to modern, current technology, so we use 'contemporary'.
(4) contemporary
The team does not have final proof, so they don't have blank evidence. The word 'conclusive' describes evidence that provides a final, certain result.
(5) conclusive
Finally, they refuse to stop it completely, or they refuse to 'abandon' the project.
(6) abandon
