Why this is correct: The school houses the centre; the library is nearby.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • beside an airport terminal.: No airport terminal is mentioned.

Correct Answer: six weeks.

Why this is correct: The stated course duration is six weeks.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • one year.: No year-long course is announced.

Correct Answer: clear communication.

Why this is correct: Students practise giving instructions clearly.

Why the other options are wrong:
