“In order to become effective, teachers have to be professionally prepared. Teachers therefore need to experience continuing professional development so as to become more effective (Harris, 2002). For pre-service teachers, teaching practice is one of the key elements in their training (Haigh and Tuck, 1999; Hill and Brodin, 2004). Through pre-service training, student teachers are provided with experience in teaching and learning in and outside the classroom, as well as opportunities to enhance the development of their characters so as to become ethical and professional (Kennedy, 2006). Some past studies have proven that teaching practice helps pre-service teachers to have better discussions with lecturers and mentors, and thus helps pre-service teachers to determine the approaches to use and their implications in teaching (Botha and Reddy, 2011; Agbo, 2003). In addition, teaching practice has been found to help pre-service teachers to enhance those skills related to problem identification, decision making, and the selection of approaches to overcome problems in classroom situations, and has also been found to be incredibly significant in developing pre-service teachers’ confidence in themselves (Khalid, 2014). Nevertheless, teachers’ professional development is not merely limited to preservice training. Berliner (1995) views the initial stage of new teachers’ professionalism as the critical stage in which novice teachers will face numerous conflicts, responsibilities and tasks”.
That being said, relying on linguistic skills and reading techniques, check the answer which is associated with the global meaning of the excerpt of the paper provided.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “pretty, happy and heavy” are “prettyer than, happyer than and heavyer than”, for the vowel “y” is preceded by another consonant.
( ) The comparative of long adjectives such as “beautiful, interesting and expensive” are “beautifuler than, interestinger than and expensiver than”, as the suffix “ER” is considered to be the general rule for those type of adjectives.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “grey, fey and stray” are “greier than, feier than and straier than”, for the vowel “y” is preceded by another vowel.
( ) The comparative of Latin origin adjectives such as “basic, famous and competent” are “more basic than, more famous than and more competent than”, for using “more” before adjectives like those is considered to be the most adequate rule to use.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “nice, wise and late” are “nicer than, wiser than and later than”, for they are all ending in “E”, and adding only the suffix “R” at the end of those type of adjectives is the correct rule to use.
( ) The superlative of short adjectives such as “fat, thin and big” are “the fatter, the thinner and the bigger”, for they all are ending in “C-V-C” (consonant-vowel-consonant).
( ) The superlative of irregular adjectives such as “good, bad and far” are “the goodest, the baddest and the farrest”, for adding the suffix “EST” at the end of those type of adjectives is considered to be the most appropriate rule to use.
( ) The superlative of long adjectives such as “pleasant, intelligent and successful” are “the most pleasant, the most intelligent and the most successful”, for adding “most” before those types of adjectives, instead of suffixes such as “ST, EST or IEST”, is the correct rule to use.
( ) The superlative of short adjectives such as “much, some and many” is “the most”, not because those adjectives are necessarily short, but because they are all irregular and share at certain point and extent the same semantics – meaning.
( ) If it is correct to say adjectives such as “bad, good and far” are irregular, it is also correct to say that the comparative of these adjectives are “worse than, better than and farther than” in this respective order.
(A) The Natural Order hypothesis.
(B) The Affective Filter hypothesis.
(C) The Acquisition-Learning hypothesis
(D) The Monitor hypothesis
(E) The Input hypothesis
( ) This hypothesis reinforces that our ability to produce statements in another language is the result of unconscious knowledge and that conscious knowledge has the function of editing and correcting the output (oral productions).
( ) According to this hypothesis, learners who are poorly motivated, insecure, anxious and with low self-esteem would be prevented from connecting the input with the LAD (Language Acquisition Device).
( ) This hypothesis predicts that there is only one way to acquire the language: understanding messages.
( ) This hypothesis predicts that there are two ways to develop a second language. The first one would be unconscious and the second one would be conscious.
( ) This hypothesis suggests that we acquire the rules of a language regardless of how these rules are taught in the classroom.

Text CB1A7
Whenever a global economic transformation takes place, a single city usually drives it forward. Ghent, in modern-day Belgium, was at the core of the burgeoning global wool trade in the 13th century. The first initial public offering took place in Amsterdam in 1602. London was the financial centre of the first wave of globalisation during the 19th century. Today the city is San Francisco.
California’s commercial capital has no serious rival in generative artificial intelligence (AI), a breakthrough technology that has caused a bull market in American stocks and which, many economists hope, will power a global productivity surge. Almost all big AI start-up companies are based in the Bay Area, which comprises the city of San Francisco and Silicon Valley (largely based in Santa Clara county, to the south). OpenAI is there, of course; so are Anthropic, Databricks and Scale AI. Tech giants, including Meta and Microsoft, are also spending big on AI in San Francisco. According to Brookings Metro, a think tank, last year San Francisco accounted for close to a tenth of generative AI job postings in America, more than any other city of the country. New York, with four times as many residents, was second.
