Answer:

1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue

2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue

3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue

Explanation:

In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".

In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.

Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.

The most important quality in an employee is not specific knowledge or technical competence. Instead, it is the ability to work
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

This statement is True.

Explanation:

Imagine a car with four wheels. Three rotating clockwise and one anti-clockwise.

Imagine, if the head was always turned in the opposite direction that the body is facing and walking towards.

Imagine if the teeth would not chew, but rather pass on foods whole into the stomach.

Imagine a car driving against traffic in a one-way lane going at 120 Kilometers per hour.

Every company is an organization. An organization is a whole that is made up of many heterogeneous parts.

In order for the contribution of each part to add value, it must be in sync with the purpose of the whole.

Hence, it doesn't matter if a tire is tubless and fitted with so many pressure sensors and advanced technology, if when fitted onto a car, it won't rotate in the same direction as the rest, then its usefulness is called to question.

An employee must not only possess technical skills and functional competencies. They must learn to bend such to the goals of the team, and each team to the goals of the organization.

Those who contribute to the efficiency of the team by doing what they have been assigned properly and timeously, whilst helping others achieve theirs are great team players.

Cheers
