Question: Apart from that, in August, the CNPC successfully purchased the PetroKazakhstan. Kairgeldy Kabyldin, vice president of Kazakhstan National Petroleum and Natural Gas Company, said the oil pipeline butt joint is a good example of close cooperation between the two nations.

The relationship between "purchased" and "said" is C. SIMULTANEOUS.
Explanation:
"Purchased" typically implies an action taken or achieved before something was said or discussed. In this case, the purchase of the oil pipeline butt joint (a strategic agreement) occurred after the statement about it being a good example of close cooperation between China and Kazakhstan. Therefore, these events happened simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Question: He ordered local governments to raise salaries and benefits for teachers in rural areas. BEIJING, Nov. 21 , 2006 (Xinhua). What is the relationship between the event 'ordered' and the time 'Nov. 21 , 2006'?
A. BEFORE
B. SIMULTANEOUS
C. ENDS
| 93,872 |
The relationship between "ordered" and "Nov. 21, 2006" is B. SIMULTANEOUS.
Explanation:
"Ordered" typically refers to an action taken or made by someone or a group of people, usually with the intention of achieving something specific. In this context, it indicates that there was a decision or directive issued by some authority or body (likely Beijing) to implement changes related to teaching salaries and benefits in rural areas.
"Nov. 21, 2006" is simply the date on which this order was made or implemented. It does not precede, follow, or end the event described; rather, it marks when the action took place. Therefore, "simultaneous" best describes the relationship between these two elements.

| 61,636 |
The relationship between "stepped" and "Nov. 13, 2005" is INCLUDES.
This can be explained as follows:
- The phrase "Israeli forces have stepped up raids and hunts for Palestinian militants" indicates that the Israeli military has intensified its operations against Palestinian groups.
- The specific date Nov. 13, 2005, refers to a particular day when such actions were carried out.
- Therefore, "stepped up raids and hunts" implies that these activities occurred on this particular date.
Given this interpretation, the correct answer is A. INCLUDES.

The relationship between "killed" and "sparking" can be best described as follows:
C. ENDED-BY
This conclusion is drawn from the context provided in the question. The event where "villagers were killed near refugee camps" directly leads to the subsequent action of "sponsoring retaliation against UN World Food Programme trucks." Therefore, the ending (spending funds) is the result or consequence of the beginning (killing).

A. BEGUN-BY
B. AFTER
C. ENDS
| 55,974 |
The correct answer is A. BEGUN-BY.
In this scenario, "show" (the implementation of the blindness control program) began with the year 1989 and ended with the year 1999. The curing of eye patients under the program corresponds to the end of the period when the program was active, which means it happened after the beginning of the program. Therefore, "cured" (understood as the completion or conclusion of the program) follows "show," making it an example of a BEGUN-BY relationship.

A. BEGUN-BY
B. AFTER
C. IDENTITY
| 42,206 |
The relationship between the events 'giving' and 'said' is B. AFTER.
This can be explained as follows:
- The phrase 'both Angola and Sudan feel that OPEC membership will give additional political benefit and protection' indicates that this sentiment was expressed after discussing the benefits of OPEC membership.
- For Ecuador, saying 'they've drawn a line in the sand at 60 dollars' suggests that this statement came after they had already discussed the topic with their government or policymakers about whether they should join OPEC.
Therefore, the two statements (giving and said) are occurring in sequence, with the first being a reaction to the second.

What is the relationship between the event 'showed' and the event 'come'?
A. AFTER
B. BEFORE
C. INCLUDES
| 33,903 |
The relationship between "showed" and "come" in this context can be understood through logical reasoning. The phrase "showed" suggests that something was observed or reported, while "come" implies an outcome or result. In this case, the survey results (shown) indicate that there is a significant disparity between the number of people who do not live with their children and those who do not know where their next meal will come from. This indicates a difference in the distribution of social responsibilities and knowledge about food sources.
Therefore, the correct answer is:

The relationship between "won" and "Dec 14, 2005" is C. BEGUN-BY.
Here's my reasoning:
- The phrase "won" indicates that something (likely an election result) was achieved.
- The date "Dec 14, 2005" provides a specific moment or timeframe when this outcome occurred.
Given these elements, it makes sense to conclude that "Won" came before or at the beginning of the mentioned event. Therefore, the correct relationship is B. IS-INcluded.

The relationship between the events "admitting" and "said" is **IDENTITY**.
Explanation:
- **Identity**: Admitting means acknowledging or declaring something explicitly, while saying involves expressing one's thoughts, feelings, or actions through speech.
- In this case, Awan admitted that he sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to KCF (likely referring to Khalid Awan). This act of admission directly relates to the action of saying it was done.
- Therefore, the identity aspect of "admitting" is more closely associated with the identity of the person making the statement than with the identity of the thing being said about.
So, the correct answer is **A. IDENTITY**.

The relationship between "produces" and the time "April 21, 1997" is **DURING**.
Explanation:
- The phrase "produces" indicates that something comes into existence or production at some point in time.
- In this case, it refers to the company's activities of producing software and services for various industries.
- Therefore, the production period spans from when the company was established until the specific date mentioned (April 21, 1997).
- This aligns with the concept of "during," which means during the time frame being referred to.
So, the correct answer is A. DURING.

The relationship between "frozen" (likely referring to the EU's decision) and "resumed" (likely referring to the ongoing negotiations between Serbia and other countries) can be best described as:
**A. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE**
This choice aligns with the typical sequence of events where an initial freeze (frozen) would occur before negotiations begin (resume). This implies that the freezing action was taken immediately after the failure to cooperate with the Hague-based tribunal, which led to discussions about closer ties between the EU and Serbia. Therefore, the most appropriate order of events would be: freezing → failure → discussion → resumption.

This conclusion follows from the logical sequence of events described.

Since fleeing was a direct consequence of the conflict (as many residents fled), it logically precedes the addition of the number of casualties.

A. AFTER
B. INCLUDES
C. ENDS
| 21,428 |
The relationship between the event 'speaking' and the event 'needed' is A. AFTER.
To explain this in detail:
- The phrase "He was speaking after" indicates that the action (speaking) occurred before or immediately following the stated event (being spoken about).
- In this case, the speaker is referring back to the previous statement made by Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Israel needing to act in the spirit of Menachem Begin's actions in 1981, which were directed against Iraq.
Therefore, the logical sequence is: "Benjamin Netanyahu spoke after... Israel needed to act in the spirit of Menachem Begin's actions." This clearly shows that speaking is happening before the need for it occurs, making the relationship between them an "after" one.

The relationship between "bought" and "Nov. 8, 2005" is B. SIMULTANEOUS.
Explanation:
- The phrase "bought" typically indicates that something was acquired or obtained, often through an agreement or transaction.
- In this context, "bought" suggests that a business entity, presumably from the South Africa-based company, acquired a specific asset or interest in the Northern Cape region.
- The date provided, November 8, 2005, refers to a specific day when this acquisition took place, not the end of the period being discussed.
- Therefore, "Nov. 8, 2005" is used as the starting point for the described action, making it a simultaneous occurrence rather than ending the discussion.

The relationship between "risen" and "showed" can be determined based on the context provided:
- **Risen**: This term refers to an increase or rise in something. For example, if the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.20 percent, it means there has been an increase in its value.
- **Shown**: This term indicates that something is being shown or presented. When something is shown, it implies that it is already present or visible.
In this case:
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.20 percent, which means it is now higher than before.
- The Nasdaq Composite also showed a rise, indicating that it is still above where it was before.
- The broader S&P 500 index also showed a rise, implying that it is now higher than before.
Therefore, the sequence of events from rising (rise) to showing (being shown) is chronological, with each step advancing the situation without any reverse steps.
So, the correct answer is A. AFTER.

The relationship between "arrived" and "visit" in this context is A. AFTER.
To elaborate:
- "Arrived" refers to the physical movement of someone or something from one place to another.
- "Visit" involves an official or diplomatic engagement where a leader travels to another country to meet with other officials and leaders.
In this scenario:
- The visitor (Bush) was physically present in Vietnam before arriving.
- After arriving in Vietnam, he embarked on his official visit, which is described as a "four-day official visit."
Therefore, after the visitor arrives, it logically follows that they will be engaged in a visit to Vietnam, making "after" the correct relation between the two events.
