Task 5
The task is to complete the phrases with appropriate words to make meaningful collocations. The instructions are in Russian and ask to "Complete the word so that a meaningful phrase is formed".
Answers:
- 1. Sprained ankle
- 2. Infectious disease
Explanation:
- The phrase "sprained" is commonly followed by a body part that can be sprained, such as an "ankle" or "wrist". "Ankle" is a very common collocation.
- The word "infection" can be preceded by an adjective describing its nature or a noun indicating the type of infection. "Infectious disease" is a standard medical term. Alternatively, one could say "bacterial infection" or "viral infection", but "infectious disease" fits the blank well as a general term. The word 'infetion' is a misspelling of 'infection'. The word 'infectious' is an adjective derived from 'infection'.
