解析:interact 是动词,意为“交往,互动”;intensive是形容词,意为“强烈的”;interview 是动词,意为“接见”。

解析:regulation是名词,意为“管理,规则”;regulate是动词,意为“调节”;regular是形容词,意为“有规律的”。

根据词性和句意,应该选用regulation,所以答案是A。
正确答案是:regulationAmong the critiques were allegations ____ some franchise uses its political influence to increase its profits.选择一项:A. whichB. whatC. that译文:在批评意见中有人断言,一些特许经营店利用其政治影响力提高利润。
解析:本题考核同位语从句的用法。
同位语从句与定语从句容易混淆,区别在于:同位语从句只能由that引导,that不在同位语从句中担任任何成分,同位语从句只对所修饰的词的内容进行补充说明;定语从句可由关系代词which或that 引导,关系代词在定语从句中既可以做主语,又可以作宾语。
句中allegations 是名词,意为“主张”,其后面的句子已经有了主语和宾语,只是对allegations阅读理解:根据文章内容,判断正误(每题10分)。
Four Tips for Becoming a FranchiseeIf you want to become a franchisee, the tips below can help you to find the perfect opportunity.Be focusd on your preference. On the stage of decision-making, the bottom line is: Don't rule out a business without learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like. For instance, think about a mom returning to the work force who knowsshe wants to interact with children on a daily basis. Among the hundreds of options there, she needs to decide if she would like to be hands on as a teacher or if she would rather manage a facility that tutors children in math. Deciding between the two is easy if she considers which day-to-day position she would prefer and how that will impact her other goals.Be proactive with your research. After you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it's important to start researching different options. Physically visit many different franchise locations and browse the web and then determine what will be a fit in your community.Make sure the franchisor has experience. Before signing on to a franchise, it is essential to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience. Find out if the company leaders have had significant experience at another franchise and are now applying that knowledge successfully.Read the franchise disclosure document carefully. The first thing to look at is how much a franchise would cost to purchase. Make sure you have a financial advisor who can look at that item with you and see the type of profit a franchisee can make on average. It's also important to take a look at the post-termination clause in the agreement to make sure that when you want to leave the business, you know the terms well and your interests are properly protected.1.
