5 Look at these sentences and choose the correct alternative.

Solution:

The exercise requires choosing the correct alternative to complete sentences related to the phrase 'have something done'. Here are the correct choices based on grammatical structure and meaning:

• 1. The writers get their work checked and edited by other readers.
• 2. They had the articles written by other people.

The correct alternatives for the descriptions of the structure are:

• a. We use the expression have something done when somebody does an action for us.
• b. The structure is have + object + past participle.
• c. Have and get aren't similar in these sentences (referring to the causative structure).
• d. We use by/with to introduce the person who does the activity for us (often when using 'get').
• e. We can use have and get in any tense.

Note: The actual task in the image is to choose from options a, b, c, d, and e to describe the sentences 1 and 2. Without specific instructions on which part of sentences 1 and 2 each option refers to, the most logical interpretation is to identify the correct grammatical rules for the 'have something done' structure.
