When used as a verb, "blind" means to make someone unable to see or to obscure someone's vision.

"Gaze" means to look steadily and intently, often with admiration or fascination.

"Bold" means showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.

Therefore, the word that is most similar in meaning to the capitalised word when used as a verb is "engage", which means to participate or become involved in an activity or conversation.

The answer is option B.

In the original sentence, there was a tense inconsistency between the verbs "include" and "fail." The verb "include" is in the past tense, while the verb "fail" is in the present tense, creating confusion about the timing of these actions.

To correct the sentence, we must ensure that the verbs are in the same past or present tense, depending on the context. Since the sentence refers to actions that have already happened, we must use the past tense for both verbs. Therefore, the present tense "fail" should be changed to the past tense "failed," creating tense consistency in the sentence.

Correct sentence: "Not only did the students include full sentences from the source without using quotation marks, but they also failed to properly cite paraphrased material."

The answer is option B.

The lead sentence should introduce the paragraph's main idea, and the supporting sentences should follow in a coherent order to develop and expand on that main idea. In the given question, the lead sentence establishes that large-scale and mega sport events have been increasingly hosted in emerging nations.

The following sentence, C, explains that bidding and hosting such events is a policy objective for many emerging nations and that they are seen as key factors in local and national development strategies. This statement provides context for why emerging nations are hosting these events.

Sentence B builds on this by explaining that the belief that the legacy of these events will provide solutions to economic, social, cultural, or political challenges is driving the trend.

Sentence D highlights the fact that there may be differences in the types of legacies that emerging nations experience compared to established nations. This statement provides a nuanced perspective and adds depth to the discussion.

Finally, Sentence A suggests that there is a need to examine the types of legacies emerging nations anticipate or realize from hosting these events and to determine if they differ from those of established nations. This statement introduces an area of inquiry and critical thinking regarding the topic.

Overall, the order of statements CBDA creates a well-structured and cohesive paragraph.

Option A: The economic impact of road traffic crashes is limited to medical expenses.
The passage clearly states, "These losses arise from the cost of treatment as well as lost productivity for those killed or disabled by their injuries." Therefore the economic impact of road traffic crashes is not just limited to medical expenses. We cannot infer it.

Option B: Disability is not a common result of road traffic injuries.
The passage clearly states, "with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury." It can be inferred that disability is a common result of road traffic injuries. Therefore, this is opposite to what is given in the passage.

Option C: Non-fatal injuries from road traffic crashes are not a significant issue.
The passage clearly states."Between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries" so it can be inferred that it is a significant issue. Therefore, this is wrong.

Therefore, the correct answer is D, road traffic crashes can be prevented with the right measures.

From the given options, option D is the correct choice.

The sentence mentioned talks about the impression created in one area impacting another.
The most suitable pair of words to convey the idea behind a given sentence are tendency and lead. The word "tendency" fits well with the idea of an impression created in one place, while "lead" accurately represents that a positive impression in one area can influence a positive impression in another.
The answer is option D.

The most fitting preposition to complete the sentence is "by" because "by your watch" carries the idiomatic sense of "in accordance with." Essentially, this implies that the individual is inquiring about the time that is presented or exhibited through his/her watch. 
Therefore, the answer is option A.

The word "insinuate" means to suggest or imply something in an indirect or subtle way. In this context, it means that he managed to gain entry into wealthy circles by telling unusual stories.

The opposite of "insinuate" would be a more direct and overt approach. "Evince" means to display or demonstrate clearly and openly.

Option A: "Wedge" means to create a division between two things or people. This is not the opposite of insinuate.

Option B: "Attach" means to connect or join something to something else, which is not the opposite of "insinuate".

Option C: "Promote" means to encourage or support the growth or development of something, which is not the opposite of "insinuate".

Therefore, none of the options A, B, or C is opposite in meaning to "insinuate".

The answer is option D.

The given sentence is in the past tense and talks about an event that started in the past and continued up to another point in time [present/past]. The correct way to talk about such an event is to use the perfect continuous tense, which is formed using the "have/has/had been" + verb-ing form.

The sentence "He said that he was suffering from fever since three days" uses "was" [simple past tense]. However, since the sentence talks about an event that started in the past and continued to the present, it should use the present perfect continuous tense instead. The correct construction would be "has been suffering." 

Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "He said that he has been suffering from a fever since three days."

Therefore, Option B has an error.

The word "incongruous" means not in harmony or keeping with the surroundings. In this context, it means that the modern office building looks out of place or does not fit in with the quaint little town.
"Bland" means lacking in strong features or character, "imaginary" means existing only in the imagination, and "suspicious" means having or showing a cautious distrust of someone or something.
The answer is option B.

Option C, "in; of" is the correct answer. The sentence should read, "No country should interfere in the internal affairs of another country." This means that no country should get involved in another country's domestic policies or decisions.

The preposition "in" refers to involvement within something. In this case, it refers to the internal affairs of another country. The preposition "of" refers to belonging to or relating to something. In this case, the internal affairs of another country belong to that country and are specific to that country's situation.

Option A, "with; in" is incorrect because "with" does not fit the context of the sentence. "Interfere with" means to disrupt or prevent the normal operation of something, but the sentence discusses involvement in something, not disruption.

Option B, "with; for" is incorrect because "for" does not fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is not discussing a purpose or objective but rather an action that should not be taken.

Option D, "in; in" is also incorrect. The preposition "in" is incorrect. In this case, the internal affairs of another country belong to that country and are specific to that country's situation. The correct preposition should be "for" in the second blank.

The answer is option C.
