๐จ Previously we had to read the text https://t.me/teacherpaul2018/178 and choose one of 3 words best describe the general idea of it. Here's the answer:
๐ to speculate โ - this word is correct because the author shared his ideas about the future ("looking at the next 100 years", "2 trends"); one of the meanings of this word is "to consider or discuss ... what might happen"; exactly our case.
๐ to retrospect - this word is off here because it means "looking back", and the next is about the future.
๐ to indulge - this is completely odd here because it generally means "to allow oneself to do something".
=== === === ===
Let's look at this text.
It is not the motive, properly speaking, that determines the working of the will; but it is the will that imparts strength to the motive. As Coleridge says: " It is the man that makes the motive, and not the motive the man."
~ James McCosh, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)
Which word describes the text?
๐ inquisitive
๐ narrating
๐ explanatory
