Answer: B) The UN building has more flags than rooms.

Explanation: An elliptical clause ("than rooms.") has been used here to avoid repetition of the verb "have"; the full sentence would be "The UN building has more flags than [it has] rooms." Since this clause is a modifier of the verb "has," it has an adverbial function, therefore it is an elliptical adverb clause.

These statements each express different tones. Match each statement with the appropriate tone.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct way of matching each statement with the appropriate tone is the following:

* Angry tone: the adjective “annoying” implies the angry tone of the speaker. (A cell phone can be annoying when you forget to turn on the silent feature before going to sleep)

* Accepting tone: the speaker acknowledges the problem with the battery, yet she/he accepts it by carrying a charger as a solution to it. (The problem is that the battery doesn’t last long, but I don’t mind carrying a charger)

* Objective tone: the speaker is objective by stating only facts about the device. (The cell phone makes calling convenient from all possible locations)

* Sentimental tone: the verb “cherish”, and the noun “gift” imply the sentimental tone of the speaker. (I will always cherish my first cell phone because it was a gift from my dad)

* Optimistic tone: the speaker has an optimistic tone, as she/he speaks about a possible future development. (I think we can soon expect a technology that charges phones in seconds)
