Phrasal verbs can be classified according to their transitivity and separability. Concerning the verb "look into," mark T for the true statements and F for the false ones: (__)"Look into" is a transitive, inseparable phrasal verb meaning "to investigate" or "to examine" a problem or situation; therefore, one cannot say "The police looked the matter into." (__)The verb "look into" can be used as an intransitive verb meaning only "to look inside" something physical, with no need for a verbal object. (__)Being a prepositional verb, the preposition "into" is closely linked to the verb and must come before the object, even when the object is a pronoun (e.g., "I will look into it," never "I will look it into").  (__)"Look into" is an exact synonym of "look for," and they can be used interchangeably in sentences such as "I am looking into my keys." After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

The internal structure of the Noun Phrase (NP) in English follows a strict order of pre-modification, particularly regarding adjectives. Regarding the "Royal Order of Adjectives" and the concept of "post-modification," mark T, for true, and F, for false: (__)The general order for cumulative adjectives before a head noun is: Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, and Purpose, meaning that "a beautiful old Italian touring car" is grammatically correct while "a touring Italian old beautiful car" is not. (__)Post-modification in a noun phrase can only be achieved through the use of relative clauses (adjective clauses), making structures like "the girl in the corner" or "the man to see" grammatically invalid as noun phrases. (__)Deictic determiners (such as 'this', 'that') and possessives must always precede the pre-modifying adjectives, but they can be preceded by pre-determiners like "all", "both", or "half". (__)Nouns acting as adjectives (noun adjuncts) are placed immediately after the head noun to emphasize their function, as seen in "soup chicken" instead of "chicken soup". After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Reading comprehension involves the interaction of cognitive processes. Regarding the "Bottom-up" and "Top-down" processing models in reading, mark T, for true, and F, for false: (__)The "Bottom-up" model suggests that reading is a linear process of decoding, starting from the smallest units (letters/phonemes) to larger units (words/sentences), implying that comprehension is primarily driven by the text itself rather than the reader's background knowledge. (__)The "Top-down" model emphasizes the reader's contribution, where background knowledge (schemata) and expectations are used to predict meaning, treating the text as a confirmation of hypotheses rather than just a source of raw data. (__)The "Interactive" model proposes that efficient reading involves a parallel and simultaneous operation of both bottom-up and top-down processes, where a deficit in one level (e.g., poor decoding) can be compensated by reliance on the other (e.g., strong context clues). (__)In the "Top-down" approach, the explicit teaching of phonics and isolated vocabulary is the primary pedagogical strategy, as understanding the whole requires mastering every individual part first. After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Text comprehension involves recognizing not just the literal meaning but also the pragmatic intent. Consider a sign in a British train station that reads: "We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the late running of this train."

The Future Perfect Continuous tense is rare but specific in its usage. Analyze the statements regarding the nuances of this tense: I.The Future Perfect Continuous (e.g., "By next year, I will have been working here for ten years") emphasizes the duration of an activity that will be in progress before a specific reference time in the future. II.Unlike the Future Perfect Simple ("will have worked"), which focuses on the completion of the action, the Continuous form draws attention to the ongoing nature and length of the event up to that future point. III.Stative verbs (like 'know', 'believe', 'own') are frequently used in the Future Perfect Continuous to emphasize the long duration of the state, as in "I will have been knowing him for years".
