ACTIVITY 2

Guarantee

1. I can't guarantee I'll have time for you the rest of the week.
2. I can't guarantee anything, Jonny.
3. There was no guarantee she'd make it to safety or that he'd live long enough to find her.
4. I'll do what I can to get you more frequent updates, but I can't guarantee anything.
5. O'Neill, however, refused to put himself in the power of Sussex without a guarantee for
his safety; and his claims in other respects were so exacting that Elizabeth consented to
measures being taken to subdue him and to restore Brian.

Deal
1. It was sailing by dead reckoning to them, and they saw not clearly how to make their port
so; therefore I suppose they still take life bravely, after their fashion, face to face, giving
it tooth and nail, not having skill to split its massive columns with any fine entering
wedge, and rout it in detail;--thinking to deal with it roughly, as one should handle a
thistle.
2. I was just wondering how to deal with the insurance company when the seller is the
owner.
3. "I'll make you a deal," he spoke evenly, "you don't hit me and I won't hit you."
4. We cannot deal with equations that bigbut a computer will solve for that in a minute if
it has enough data.
5. I have thought about it a great deal, and the more I think, the more certain I am that
obedience is the gateway through which knowledge, yes, and love, too, enter the mind of
the child.

Warrant

1. The judges of Amiens, however, pursued him with a warrant for his arrest, which took
place in Brumaire of the year II.
2. If your Dad is feeling bad enough to warrant medical attention, he needs to see a doctor,
not a nurse.
3. But even at the time when union was most important, this statement went further than the
facts would warrant, and in the course of the following century it became less and less
true.
4. The columns vary somewhat in diameter (more than even the difference caused by fluting
would warrant) and three different types of capital are noticeable.
5. I remembered a judge had tossed out a search warrant obtained only on the basis of our
tip.
Crucial

1. So with any of the aromatic group; the crucial line is at 867.

2. The theory therefore passes a crucial test when it is discovered that no gases exist for
which n is either negative or unity.
3. The selection of organisms through the crucial test of fitness and the shaping of the
organic world is an orderly process when contemplated on a grand scale, but of another
kind; here the test of fitne s is supreme.
4. We are not aware that this crucial point has been noticed by the earlier critics of the
Letters.
5. A two-thirds majority was necessary for conviction; and the votes being 35 to 1 9 (7
Republicans and 1 2 Democrats voting in his favour on the crucial clauses) he was
acquitted.

Evidence

1. It will be the end of the age of anecdotal evidence, where because "Aunt Martha takes a
teaspoon of honey every morning and hasn't been sick in years" therefore I should as
well.
2. There is more curious evidence, again, that the process of covering
3. She sat to pull on shoes and saw the scars around her wrists, evidence of her fight against
the bindings Jilian used to strap her onto the table.
4. It is remarkable that pure chemistry, even to-day, has no very conclusive arguments for
the settlement of this controversy; but the sister science of physics is steadily
accumulating evidence in favour of the atomic conception.
5. They both agreed it was further evidence that he was involved in the death of Billy
Langstrom, but they remained uncertain about his involvement with Martha's bones.

Situation

1. For a moment she had the shocking realization that the situation was out of control.
2. I was, for a reason known to God alone, much more calm than the situation dictated.
3. "Well," said Cynthia, dredging up a pinch of optimism from a miserable situation,
"whoever mis-marked our trail back in the mine at least thought we'd crawl out of the
earth and make it this far.
4. From its relative situation then, I should call this high hump the organ of firmness or
indomitableness in the Sperm Whale.
5. But that situation has an end: Once I have a computer doing everything I can imagine
(and some more after that), I don't need it to be any faster.
Idea

1. The idea of free trade has divided people for as long as trade has existed.
2. To her, the idea was ludicrous, and yet, it probably looked that way to Dulce.
3. On a sudden thought I ran upstairs before any one could stop me, to put on my idea of a
company dress.
4. In one word, Queequeg, said I, rather digressively; hell is an idea first born on an
undigested apple-dumpling; and since then perpetuated through the hereditary dyspepsias
nurtured by Ramadans.
5. But then, the idea was, that his presence was by no means necessary in getting the ship
under weigh, and steering her well out to sea.

Information

1. Getting information about him from Katie is too much work.

2. That was a lot of information to digest - information Alex could have provided years
ago.
3. So far, she seemed to be his best source of information, anyway.
4. People will only contribute to the extent that their most personal information is
protected.
5. The unexpected information was coming so fast it was hard to absorb.

Incidence

1. This act recommended him to popular favour, and he was called to the government of the
city - but only for the distinct purpose of establishing the "catasta," a property tax which
should fall with equal incidence on every citizen.
2. A fact that was amply illustrated, moreover, is that the period of incidence of a drought is
not less important than its duration, and the same is true of abnormal rainfall.
3. For the period preceding British rule the records have not been so well preserved, but
there is ample evidence to show that famine was just as frequent in its incidence and
infinitely more deadly in its effects under the native rulers of India.
4. The general conclusion of the Famine Commission of 1901 was that " except in Bombay,
where it is full, the incidence of land revenue is low to moderate in ordinary years, and it
should in no way per se be the cause of indebtedness."
5. A scheme of taxation - the Saladin tithe - was imposed on all who did not take the cross;
and this taxation, while on the one hand it drove many to take the cross in order to escape
its incidence, on the other hand provided a necessary financial basis for military
operations.
Inquire

1. Giddon had barely left the yard on Diablo and Lisa instantly recognized it as a chance to
investigate the building.
2. Another reason assigned by the committee appointed by the Treasury in 1875 " to
investigate the causes of the increased cost of the telegraphic service since the
acquisition of the telegraphs by the state " is the loss on the business of transmitting Press
messages, which has been estimated as at least 300,000 a year.
3. Ethics have become more distinctively a science, instead of an awkward hybrid between
a science and an art; their business has been to investigate what moral conduct is, not to
lay down the law as to what it ought to be.
4. His name is chiefly known in connexion with ozone, which he began to investigate in
1839, and with guncotton, which he prepared and applied as a propellant in fire-arms
early in 1846.
5. There wasn't time to investigate him before the wedding not that she would have the
slightest idea how to do that anyway.

Suggestion

1. Remembering Len's suggestion that he might be in a witness protection program, she

wondered if that innocent kiss might have ultimately put Yancey in danger.
2. Alex said nothing, his stoic features giving no suggestion of what was on his mind.
3. My only directive to our group was a strong suggestion we act unanimously.
4. Any suggestion of an open window shade or even a night-light was summarily
dismissed.
5. At his suggestion a voyage was undertaken for the discovery of a north-east passage to
Cathay, with Sir Hugh Willoughby as captain-general of the fleet and Richard Chancellor
as pilotmajor.

Interview

1. We're here to do the interview we do for all new members to the Immortal society.
2. Every detail of the interview was communicated to the Russian monarch, and the war
began
3. He did mention his interview with Cece Baldwin, describing Byrne's relationship with
the young lady as that of a compassionate mentor.
4. I am not superstitious, but I consider the Commodore's interview with that whale as
providential.
5. A radio station did a piece on the tip center and requested an interview with someone
who answered the phones.
Survey

1. We conclude with a brief chronological survey of the concordats during the 19th century,
some now abrogated or replaced, others maintained.
2. The experience gained on the northern survey under Argelander's direction enabled
Schdnfeld to introduce some improvements in the methods employed, which increased
the accuracy of this work, which was practically accomplished in March 1881, some
revision only remaining to be done.
3. Because our glance can easily be turned outwards and survey the exterior world but it is
far harder to turn the mind's eye inwards and contemplate the world of the spirit.
4. An idea of the effects of the survey may be gathered from the fact that the assessments in
the four provinces of Mantua, Ancona, Cremona and Milan, which formerly amounted to
a total of I,454,696~ are now 2,788,080, an increase of 91%.
5. In a word, the position of the whale's eyes corresponds to that of a man's ears; and you
may fancy, for yourself, how it would fare with you, did you sideways survey objects
through your ears.
