When used in the preterite tense, the verb "saber" means to find out.
In a present tense, ther verb saber would mean to know. However, It can change its meaning when conjugated in its preterite form: supe or sabía.
In this case, "supe" in English could be translated as found out into English when refering that you learnt or got specific information about a person or about something.
This question is missing the paragraph we must read to answer it. I've found it online, and it is as follows:
Levine and Kearney see the study as a clear lesson in the value of a (very cheap) mass-media complement to preschool. The potentially controversial implication they embrace from the study isn't about childhood education. It's about college, and the trend toward low-cost massive open online courses, or MOOCs.
Answer:
The word that gives the best definition for complete as it is used in paragraph 11 of "Study: Kids can learn as much from 'Sesame Street' as from preschool?" is:
B. to complete or make whole.
Explanation:
The verb "to complement" can refer to the action of completing something or to the action of enhancing something. After reading the paragraph, it is clear the author is talking of the possibility of completing education as we know it. Using mass media is a cheap way to give thousands of people access to education, complementing or completing what is already commonly offered. Having that in mind, the best option to answer this question is letter B. to complete or to make whole.
Here are my three proposals:
- Eliminate all welfare programs that took tedious process and transform it into unversal basic income (that will be given to all legal citizen without question)
- The government should create an institute that is specifically functioned to gather data regarding citizens' economic status
- Make all citizen required to report their economic status everytime they received a government help
There are many ways you could paraphrase this, but one option would be "Experts think the recession will soon pass", since "Financial" and "optimistic" are implied.
Answer: A (overwhelmed)
Explanation: The last sentence says, “This fact was somehow mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears.” This shows that the guy was so sad because his situation was making him overwhelmed and want to cry.
