Question

Read the excerpts and decide what idea the underlined words/expressions convey. Write the correct

combination of numbers-letters.

A adding B showing result C summing up D giving examples E making contrast

a) Although (I) the company says it plans to add 5 to 15 HD titles per month, their HD offerings will

still lag severely behind the availability of film and TV on Blu-ray. Also (II), new HD rentals cost

$6, while (III) catalog rentals are %4. Finally, you’ll need a 4-megabits-per-second connection.

b) Since the introduction of the modern computer, obtaining information has been increasingly

simple, especially with the help of the Internet, online encyclopedias and other various CD-

-ROMs. The computer can also accomplish smaller chores with ease. For example (IV), the

built-in calculator in Windows comes in handy when figuring calculations. In brief (V), compu-

ters are remarkably important in finishing trivial everyday tasks.

c) The monthly charge for a new PC typically is less than the monthly fee to finance the cost of a

new TV. Morevoer (VI), consumers who choose the monthly repayment option on the purchase

of a television often must use the company’s store credit card to do so. This is not typically the

case with “free PCs”. Thus (VII), as the cost of the average entry-level personal computer con-

tinues to fall well below that of the average television set, American households should have

fewer problems affording new computers.​
