Correct Answer: A. gag

Explanation

The best word to complete the sentence is A. gag.

Here's why:

• A. gag: To gag someone means to prevent them from speaking or expressing themselves, often by force or legal order. A gag order is a common legal term used to prevent the press from reporting on certain topics. This perfectly fits the idea of stopping publications by suppressing their ability to publish.

• B. shackle: To shackle means to restrain with chains, typically around the ankles or wrists. Figuratively, it means to restrict freedom or impede action. While it implies restriction, shackling the press is more about general incapacitation or preventing it from functioning at all, rather than specifically stopping certain *types* of publications by controlling content.

• C. fetter: Similar to shackle, a fetter is a chain or manacle used to restrain a prisoner, typically around the ankles. Figuratively, it means to restrict or impede. Like shackle, it's more about general restraint than specifically silencing content.

• D. bind: To bind means to tie or fasten tightly. Figuratively, it can mean to obligate or restrict. While it implies restriction, binding the press doesn't have the same idiomatic meaning related to censorship or stopping publications as gagging the press.

Therefore, gag is the most precise word when discussing the suppression of content or the stopping of publications.

The complete sentence: The way to stop some frivolous publications is to gag the press.

Correct Answer: D. praised or blamed publicly

Explanation

Anonymity (civil service) The anonymity of the civil service is linked to two concepts: permanence and neutrality. Civil servants, many of whom remain in their jobs whilst serving numerous governments, are thus likely to have to give advice to governments of different political parties, who may have different attitudes to policy. And it follows from both of the above that civil servants cannot be held accountable for the success or failure of government policy, for otherwise their public explanations could contain criticisms of their political masters.

Correct Answer: A. There's

Explanation

Let P represent the cost ; n, the number of pupils and k and c, constant terms.

\(\therefore P = k + cn\)

\(15705 = k + 50c ... (1)\)

\(13305 = k + 40c .... (2)\)

(1) - (2) :

\(2400 = 10c \implies c = \frac{2400}{10} = 240\)

Put c = 240 in (1), so that

\(15705 = k + (50)(240)\)

\(15705 = k + 12000 \implies k = 3705\)

\(P = 3705 + 240n\) ------ formula connecting price and number of pupils.

(a) When number of pupils, n = 44

\(P = 3705 + 240(44) = 3705 + 10560 = $14265\)

(b) For school not to be at loss:

\(360 \geq k + cn\)

\(360n \geq 3705 + 240n\)

\(360n - 240n \geq 3705 \implies 120n \geq 3705\)

\(n \geq \frac{3705}{120}\)

\(n \geq 30.875 \)

\(n \geq 31\)

The pupils should be 31 at least for the school not to run at loss.
