The relationship between "the Macao Post Daily quoted the official" and "Nov. 18, 2005" is INCLUDES.
Here's my reasoning:
- The sentence states that the Macao Post Daily quoted an official statement.
- It then provides the specific date mentioned: November 18, 2005.
- Therefore, the information about the date (November 18, 2005) comes before the quote itself.
This fits the definition of INCLUDING, which means including or encompassing something. In this case, the information about the date comes before the quoted text.

In this scenario, the act of fleeing from the scene (getting) leads to the suicide attack (said). The act of getting involves moving or leaving, which then results in the actions mentioned ('treading on bodies', 'fleeing', 'scattering') that follow. Therefore, after fleeing, one would expect to hear about the events happening around them, specifically mentioning the suicide attack.

Question: Clinton agreed to the Lee meeting after pressure from the Republican- led Congress, which is highly supportive of the Hong Kong Democratic leader and often charges the president's handling of China is weak- kneed. But Hong Kong's chief executive-designate Tung Chee-hwa said he was "disappointed" with Lee Friday and warned him "to please bear in mind that whatever he says it will be carefully read and interpreted. What is the relationship between the event 'agreed' and the event 'said'?
A. SIMULTANEOUS
B. ENDED-BY
C. BEGINS
| 11,098 |
To determine the relationship between the events of Clinton agreeing to the Lee meeting and the statements made by Hong Kong’s chief executive-designate Tung Chee-hwa, we need to analyze their content and context:
1. **Clinton Agreeing to the Meeting**: This indicates a decision or agreement by Clinton to involve the Lee meeting in some way.
2. **Tung Chee-hwa's Statement**: This refers to Tung Chee-hwa, who is described as "disappointed" with Lee and warns him about interpreting his statement. The warning suggests that Tung Chee-hwa feels the statement may not be taken seriously due to his lack of confidence in its interpretation.
Given these points, we can infer that both events are related but distinct:
- The first (Clinton agreeing) involves an action (agreeing), while the second (Tung Chee-hwa's statement) is a reaction to that action.
Therefore, the correct relationship is:
\(\boxed{\text{A}}\) SIMULTANEOUS

Question: The controversy erupted just five days before the Dutch national parliamentary elections. What is the relationship between the event 'erupted' and the event 'elections'?
A. ENDED-BY
B. AFTER
C. BEGINS
| 91,446 |
The relationship between "erupted" and "elections" is C. BEGINS.
Explanation:
"Erupting" typically refers to an action or situation that begins suddenly and unexpectedly. In this context, it suggests that something unexpected or sudden happened just five days before the Dutch national parliamentary elections. This fits best with the concept of beginning (BEGINS) rather than ending (ENDS BY) or continuing (CONTINUES).
Therefore, the correct answer is A. END-BY.

A. BEFORE
B. ENDS

The relationship between "sent" and "said" in the given context can be interpreted as follows:
- "Sent" refers to sending or delivering something (in this case, young players).
- "Said" means expressing or saying something.
Given that Zhu stated that he has sent young players in the match, it logically follows that the action of sending (sent) precedes the statement (saying). Therefore, the correct relationship is A. BEFORE.
So, the final answer is:

The relationship between "called" and "April 10, 1997" is DURING.
Explanation:
The phrase "called" implies that this action or decision was made during a particular period or time frame. In this case, calling for the respect of human rights occurred on April 10, 1997. Therefore, it would be accurate to say that this call took place during the period from April 10, 1997, to the present day. This aligns with the concept of "DURING," which means ongoing or ongoing at the time of the statement being made.

This can be explained as follows:
- "Backfired" refers to an unexpected or negative outcome that occurred after an action or decision was made.
- "Said" implies communication of information or advice.
- The phrase "such efforts may even have backfired and alienated Iraqi Shiites" suggests that there were unintended consequences following the initial actions taken (the efforts), which then led to problems or dissatisfaction among some groups (the Iraqi Shiites).
Therefore, "backfired" logically follows "said," indicating that the effects of the initial actions had not been anticipated or intended, leading to unforeseen outcomes.

Explanation:
Moussa's statement was made after Khaled Meshaal warned earlier Saturday about potential collapse of the Palestinian authority due to lack of a political solution for a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. Therefore, the event 'said' (Khaled Meshaal's warning) occurred after the event 'warned' (the Palestinian authorities' warning).

The relationship between "close" and "unbeaten" is identity. The term "close" typically refers to the final result or outcome, while "unbeaten" indicates that a player has never been bowled out. Therefore, when someone says they have "been unbeaten," it means they haven't been dismissed in any innings during their career. In this context, "close" would refer to the end result of a game or match, which aligns with the idea of being "unbeaten." Thus, the answer is A. IDENTITY.

The relationship between "made" and "announced" in this context can be best described as **DURING**. This is because the event "World Cup 2014" was made (i.e., decided or scheduled) before it was officially announced. The FIFA Congress in 2008 would have been held after the decision had been made for the tournament host. Therefore, the announcement comes immediately after the making of the decision, making "during" the most appropriate term to describe this relationship.

The relationship between "destroyed" and "Dec 14, 2005" is A. IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
This can be determined because destroying an entire nation's air force would likely occur immediately after it was announced or declared to have been destroyed. The event described happened on December 14, 2005, which is shortly after the announcement that the air force had been destroyed.

A. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE

The relationship between "admitted" and "put" in this context can be interpreted as follows:
- "Admitted" implies that Wenger's statement about the team responding well despite previous failures was made after they had already been down and out for several weeks due to their poor form.
- "Put" refers to putting into action or achieving something.
Given these definitions, the correct relationship is:

A. ENDED-BY
B. IS-INCLUDED

The relationship between "spooked" (event A) and "violence" (event B) is C. After. This conclusion can be drawn because when one person experiences fear due to an event, it typically leads to subsequent actions or reactions, which include the occurrence of violence. Therefore, after experiencing fear from "spooking," the next logical step would be to engage in violent behavior, thus making "violence" the outcome of the event "spooked."

| 32,385 |
The relationship between "quoted" and "saying" can be described as:
C. DURING
In this context, "quoting" refers to someone speaking or writing about something previously stated or known. The phrase "Alfonso Scanio said that around 25 percent of Alitalia would be put up for sale" indicates that Scanio was providing information about an unspecified percentage of Alitalia stock being sold. Therefore, it is during the time when Scanio made his statement that the event of selling Alitalia's shares occurred.
So, the answer is C. DURING.

The relationship between "said" and "receiving" can be described as:
DURING
This indicates that the statement about HIV prevalence increasing gradually over time (from 15.6% in 2002 to 16.2% in 2005) was part of a larger process involving receiving antiretroviral drugs. The use of "said" suggests that it was a prediction or observation made before the actual data collection began, while "receiving" implies that the events being observed occurred after the initial period of analysis. Therefore, the correct answer is DURING.

Therefore, when Blair and Maliki give strong backing to their efforts to reunite the country, it suggests they are identifying themselves as part of that effort.
