Question: Marked by the absence of most Arabic leaders, the Euromed summit, which concluded on Monday with a watered-down "code of conduct" on terrorism and a vague action plan on immigration and reform, reflected the profound difficulties in bridging the gap between the two rims of the Mediterranean, said an Arabic observer. What is the relationship between the event 'concluded' and the event 'reflected'?
A. AFTER
B. BEFORE
C. IMMEDIATELY AFTER
| 75,608 |
The relationship between the event 'concluded' and the event 'reflected' is C. IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
This conclusion can be drawn from several key points:
- The Euromed summit was marked by a lack of most Arab leaders, indicating significant challenges in the region.
- It was described as reflecting the profound difficulties in bridging the gap between the two rims of the Mediterranean.
- This suggests that the summit's outcome (the code of conduct, immigration reform, etc.) was directly influenced or shaped by the events leading up to it.
Therefore, the Euromed summit's outcome (reflected) is directly related to its predecessor (concluded).

A. AFTER
B. ENDS
C. BEGINS
| 89,841 |
The relationship between "the event 'says'" and "the event 'seen'" can be best described as "BEGINS" or "STARTS". This is because "say" typically implies an action that begins with an initial statement or declaration. In this context, it suggests that before any accidents were reported or documented, there was already evidence of them occurring.
Therefore, the answer is C. BEGINS.

The relationship between "He spoke highly" and "introduced a new mode to run the SEM, raised the competency of teachers, and instituted an international cooperative platform" can be best described as **C. SIMULTANEOUS**.
This is because the first part of the sentence indicates that a particular event or activity was introduced (introduced a new mode), which led to other events or activities being performed (raised the competency of teachers and instituted an international cooperative platform). These two events were not preceded by any prior statements about their occurrence or outcomes.

" It shows a sharp escalation in sectarian violence since the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra in February, and tracks a further worsening this month despite a concerted American push to tamp down the violence in Baghdad.

A. DURING
B. AFTER
C. IMMEDIATELY AFTER
| 77,822 |
The relationship between the events 'reads' and 'violence' is C. IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
Here's why:
- The event 'reads' (which appears to be an urban area experiencing 'ethnic cleansing' campaigns) occurred before the violent incidents mentioned ('violence at all-time high, spreading geographically').
- These two events are temporally adjacent in time, with one occurring before the other.
- Therefore, reading 'reads' directly implies that the violent events have already happened after the urban area experienced ethnic cleansing.

The relationship between the event 'called' and the event 'shutdown' is B. AFTER.
Explanation:
- The BJP has called for a general shutdown in Bihar.
- This action occurred after the BJP announced its intention to call a general shutdown.
- Therefore, the shutdown was an outcome of the BJP's announcement rather than being initiated first.

The relationship between the event 'beefing up' (beefing) and the event 'truce' (truce) can be described as:
C. SIMULTANEOUS
This means that both events occurred simultaneously or at the same time period, with no explicit sequence connecting them. The phrase 'beefed up' implies a strengthening or intensification of efforts towards achieving a goal or agreement, while the 'truce' refers to a formal ceasefire agreed upon through international mediation. Therefore, these two events were occurring concurrently.

The relationship between "a truck and a tractor collided head-on" and "traveling" is **SIMULTANEOUS**.
This can be explained as follows:
- A truck and an tractor are both vehicles.
- The collision described occurred while two separate entities (the truck and the tractor) were moving simultaneously.
- Therefore, traveling encompasses the movement of both the truck and the tractor together, making them simultaneous events.

The correct answer is B. SIMULTANEOUS.
Explanation:
When someone urges another person or organization to do something, it generally involves two actions occurring simultaneously rather than being part of one action. In this case, Kofi Annan's statement urging countries to make more efforts towards biosafety measures and addressing threats from terrorist and criminal groups aligns with the idea of simultaneous actions. The statement was made before any specific actions were taken, indicating that both events occurred at the same time without prior planning or coordination.

The relationship between the events 'refused' and 'warned' is C. IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
This can be explained as follows:
- Refusing to quit one's post implies that the person has already made their decision or announcement.
- Warning supporters means they have already communicated their concerns or intentions through public statements or actions.
- The act of refusing to quit implies an immediate decision to leave the position, which aligns with the concept of warning supporters about potential consequences or resistance to change.
Therefore, these two events are occurring simultaneously, with the refusal being a direct consequence of the warning given.

The relationship between "denied" and "left" is **C. BEFORE**.
This is because when someone leaves for a purpose (like leaving South Africa for medical treatment), they cannot simultaneously deny it.

The relationship between "quoting" and "expecting" is A. IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
Explanation:
When someone quotes something (in this case, about the start of a process), it typically implies an immediate expectation or anticipation for what follows. Therefore, when someone says "We expect to sign agreements with one or two countries," it indicates that the expectations have already been set in motion, meaning they will be happening soon after the initial quote.

The relationship between "set" and "pressing" is C. DURING.
Explanation:
"The set" refers to the initial or formal declaration or announcement of an action or condition, while "pressing" indicates that this action is being taken or performed. In this context, when the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Philippine National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) set the parameters for the PLDT-AT et T talks, it implies that these actions were already underway before they were formally announced. Therefore, the pressuring of other countries to lower the accounting rates would have occurred during the set-up phase, not after it had happened.

A. IMMEDIATELY AFTER
B. AFTER

The relationship between "recovered" and "reach" in this context refers to an event that occurs after another event has been completed or achieved.
So, the answer is B. AFTER.
In the given scenario, Australia reached 173-3 at tea on day one of their first Test match against South Africa. The recovery of Matthew Hayden (who was absent due to injury) indicates that Hayden's absence had already occurred before the start of the match. Therefore, Hayden's absence was not immediately followed by the achievement of the target score, but rather happened after it had already been reached.

- In the past year, there have been significant losses to the Dutch air force's equipment due to various operational challenges.
- These losses were recorded in the form of an article about the situation, which indicates that the loss occurred before the statement was made about it.
Therefore, the Dutch air force had already suffered substantial damage from their previous operations when the statement was made, making "said" refer to this prior event rather than being directly related to it.

- Therefore, if a market or economic condition has been declining since Tuesday (or Monday), it would logically be expected to rebound on Thursday, assuming no significant new information or developments have occurred during this period.

- Talking involves verbal communication, which can be thought of as expressing or conveying information.
- Asking typically involves making a request or seeking something from someone else, often with the intent to obtain a response or relief.
Therefore, when someone talks about something (e.g., talking to their mother), they are not directly asking for something (e.g., getting forgiveness). Instead, they are expressing an idea or concern through their words. The act of talking itself does not inherently lead to the action of asking; rather, the subsequent action of asking is a logical consequence of the initial talk.

In this context, "building up" suggests that the clouds (which could be representing rain) were accumulating or growing larger before the switch was made to floodlights. Therefore, it would logically follow that the start of the event (switching floodlights) occurred immediately after the cloud-building process had begun.

A. DURING
B. AFTER
C. ENDS
| 27,670 |
The relationship between "rumours" and "plunged" can be best described as:
**DURING**
This is because "rumours" typically involve information circulating among people or groups without direct evidence of its truthfulness. When someone says something "has swirled," it suggests that this information has been circulating for an extended period (likely over several months), leading to increased speculation and rumors about potential changes or developments.
On the other hand, "plunged" implies a sudden decrease in something's level or extent. In this context, it would mean that the approval rating of President Arroyo had dropped significantly due to the ongoing campaign to oust her, which occurred during the six-month period mentioned.
Therefore, the relationship is one of duration ("during") rather than end-to-start ("after").

A. IDENTITY
B. SIMULTANEOUS
C. DURING
| 9,783 |
The relationship between "rose" (increase) and "confirming" (indicating that something has been confirmed or recognized) can be categorized as **SIMULTANEOUS**.
This interpretation aligns with the concept of simultaneous changes in both the wholesale price increase and the confirmation of an inflation trend. When the wholesale price rises by 0.5%, it suggests a noticeable increase in prices, which might prompt people to recognize this as a significant change in the overall economic situation. The subsequent confirmation that this rise is indeed indicative of inflation indicates that the market consensus or official statistics have already acknowledged these price increases. This sequence of events clearly demonstrates simultaneous occurrences of the two phenomena.

The relationship between "showered" and "free" in this context can be best described as B. BEGUN-BY.
In this scenario, the act of "showering" (i.e., delivering praise) occurred before the event of "freeing." The phrase "showered" suggests that the initial praise came after the hostage situation had been resolved, indicating an ongoing process rather than a sudden release of pressure or encouragement. Therefore, the events were not simultaneous but rather part of a sequence where the praise followed the resolution of the hostage crisis.

The relationship between "fell" (falling) and "close" (closing) in these events can be analyzed as follows:
- **Falling**: The term "fell" typically implies that something has declined or decreased in value. In this context, it refers to a decrease in the price of stocks.
- **Closing**: The term "close" generally indicates that the market prices have stabilized after an initial drop. Therefore, if one stock falls, it means its closing price will likely remain lower than before due to the decline.
Given this analysis, the relationship between "fell" and "close" is that falling (the act of decreasing) precedes closing (the process of stabilizing). This aligns with the sequence where the price of stocks decreases first, leading to a subsequent decrease in their closing values.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE.

To determine the relationship between the events 'told' and 'added', let's analyze them step-by-step:
1. **Told**: This refers to Tang telling the Chinese delegation about the progress made in Sino-Vietnamese ties.
2. **Added**: This means that the Chinese delegation has implemented or acted upon the agreement reached by the leaders of both countries regarding their mutual cooperation.
Given these definitions:
- The 'told' implies Tang was the one who shared this information.
- The 'added' indicates that the Chinese delegation indeed took action based on what was communicated.
Therefore, the relationship between the events 'told' and 'added' is that the Chinese delegation has taken action (implemented) after receiving the information (told).
**Final Answer: A. SIMULTANEOUS**

The correct answer is A. IS INCLUDED.
Explanation:
From 1996 to 2005, when privatization began, about 60,000 state-owned industrial corporations were changed into private ones. This indicates that privatization was included in this period, meaning it occurred simultaneously with the privatization process.
Therefore, the relationship between "privatized" and "2005" is that privatization took place from 1996 to 2005, which aligns with the year 2005 being mentioned in the question.
