(Avalaible in: https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/2013/07/01/janus-words-two-faced-english/#more-2382 – text especially adapted for this test).

Why is the sentence “I shall lose no time reading your next Cambridge post.” (l. 31) an example of a Janus sentence?

It means both “I won’t read your post because that would be a waste of time” and “Reading your post is investing my time, not wasting it”.

The word “shall” suggests an obligation and that the speaker is only trying to please the author.

The author is not sure someone will read his next article.

The speaker means they have a lot of free time.

The sentence means the speaker never reads the author’s posts because they are always “waiting for the next one”.
