Question: "We have at least 15 companies that will participate on the Zimbabwean stand at the WTM and we will also be seeking to consolidate our presence at the mega show in China," Chidzidzi said. The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) will participate in two major international events this month as part of its continuous efforts to market the country as a prime tourist destination and revive the fortunes of the flagging tourism sector, an official said on Saturday. What is the relationship between the event 'seeking' and the event 'said'?

The relationship between "seeking" and "said" in this context is C. ENDS.
Explanation:
- "Seeking" indicates an intention or purpose for which something is being done.
- "Said" refers to what someone has said or expressed verbally.
In this case, "seeking" suggests an ongoing process or effort to promote the Zimbabwean tourism industry, while "said" implies that Chidzidzi, who is likely speaking on behalf of the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, is confirming or endorsing these efforts. Therefore, "said" concludes the statement about the Zimbabwean tourism activities and their objectives.

- "Said" typically refers to a statement made verbally or written.
- "Telephoned" involves sending an official message over a telephone line.
- These actions occur at different times, with the speaker making the initial communication (saying) and the recipient receiving it (telephoning).
Therefore, the first action (making the phone call) comes immediately before the second action (sending the message).

- Announcing one thing immediately precedes it with another, indicating a sequence of actions or decisions made before the announcement was made.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.

2. **Is Included**: The use of "provides" suggests that the VFA includes the mechanisms necessary for the collaboration mentioned, making it an included action rather than an immediate or exclusive one.
Given these points, the most appropriate answer is:

B. IMMEDIATELY AFTER

| 12,621 |
The relationship between "named" and "committed" is A. BEFORE.
In legal terms, when an individual commits a crime or acts in a way that could potentially result in criminal liability, they are considered to have been "named" for such actions. The act of naming someone can be seen as an admission of guilt or responsibility, which is typically followed by their subsequent act of committing the crime.
Penny Easton's name being mentioned in a petition does not necessarily imply she has already committed a crime; rather, it suggests she may have been contemplating or planning her action before she made public her decision. Therefore, naming and committing are often treated as separate events, with naming preceding the actual act of committing.

- The phrase "hoping" implies that Tsang made a prediction or forecast about the timing of the landing.
- The Hong Kong group's plan to make a landing next month on the Diaoyu Islands follows logically after Tsang's initial statement. Therefore, "hoping" precedes "said."

The relationship between "mixed aggression" and "facing" can be described as follows:
Mixed aggression refers to the combination of aggressive behavior and caution in a single event. In this case, the athlete faced 151 balls during 221 minutes at the crease.
Facing involves preparing for and executing the attack or play. Therefore, the presence of mixed aggression means that the athlete was already prepared for the attack or play before it happened, which aligns with the concept of facing.
Given this understanding, the correct answer is A. BEFORE.

The relationship between "wrote" and "scorn" is C. BEFORE.
This can be explained as follows:
- The act of writing something typically precedes the subsequent action of scorning it.
- Writing something about someone's care about them (e.g., talking too loudly) usually comes after the person has been scorned.
- Therefore, "writing" (the act of discussing the subject matter) must have occurred before "scorn" (the reaction to the discussion).

| 20,989 |
The relationship between the event 'prosecuted' and the event 'wear' is B. AFTER.
In this scenario, 'prosecuted' refers to an action or decision taken against someone, which may result in legal consequences such as prosecution for a crime. The statement suggests that Australia would likely be concerned about the outcome of these actions if they were to occur. Therefore, after the events have occurred (the prosecution), it's reasonable to assume that Australia would begin to worry about the implications of those decisions on its reputation. This aligns with option B - AFTER.

A. IMMEDIATELY AFTER

The relationship between "dropped" and "confirmed" in this context is C. AFTER.
Here’s why:
- The event "dropped" refers to the death of chickens.
- The event "confirmed" refers to the identification of the chicken deaths as being caused by H5N1 bird flu.
Since the death of the chickens occurred before their confirmation by the lab, it follows logically that the death was immediately after the confirmation. Therefore, the correct order is "dropped" (death) → "confirmed" (identification).

What is the relationship between the event 'wrote' and the event 'scandal'?
A. ENDS
B. BEFORE
C. AFTER
| 48,626 |
The relationship between "wrote" and "scandal" in this context can be described as follows:
A. ENDS
This conclusion is based on the logical sequence of events. When a journalist writes about an issue (in this case, the BALCO scandal), it typically leads to further investigation and publication of details. In this scenario, the Chronicle journalists' work led to grand jury testimony revealing links to the steroid scandal, which in turn prompted the release of information about their involvement.
Therefore, the chain of events from writing to scandal involves multiple steps: the journalist's initial report, the subsequent grand jury proceedings, and finally the disclosure of their role in the scandal. This sequence aligns with the definition of "scandal," where something that has occurred or been revealed comes to light through reporting or investigation.
So, the answer is A. ENDS.

The relationship between "witnessed" and "indicates" can be understood through the following sequence of events:
1. **Witnessing** - The phenomenon or occurrence being observed.
2. **Indicating** - The conclusion or implication drawn from observing something.
In this case:
- "Witnessed" refers to the increase in global oil demand.
- "Indicating" refers to the decrease in oil production capacity due to the higher demand.
Therefore, the correct relationship is that the increase in demand (witnessed) leads to a reduction in production capacity (indicating), indicating an imbalance in supply and demand. So, the answer is A. BEFORE.
