Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

valina [46]

After reading the sentences, we can tell we are supposed to use the words in parentheses to form phrases that will complete the blank spaces. We can do it in the following manner:

  1. My brother <u>was on his own</u> when the accident happened.
  2. I <u>gave up on reading</u> the book after the first three chapter because it was so boring.
  3. The heat <u>made it impossible fo</u>r me to get on with my work.

This question requires knowledge about collocations.

<h3>What are collocations?</h3>
  • Collocations are words that are often used together in order to convey meaning. Their joint usage is so common that we say they sound good and natural together.
  • Let's use number 1 above as an example. We must use the word "own" to fill in the blank. We also know that we should say something implying that the brother was alone.
  • The best option is to say <u>he was on his own</u> when the accident happened. "To be on one's own" means to be alone, and it is a common phrase (collocation) to use and express such meaning.
