Paper

• A. Your suggestions look great on the paper, but are absolutely impractical.

• D. Dr. Malek will read a paper on criminalization of politics.

Hint:

"Paper" can be used both literally (referring to the material) and figuratively (referring to covering something up or a scholarly document). Ensure the context supports the appropriate usage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In Option (1), the phrase "on the paper" refers to the medium or surface on which suggestions are written, but it doesn't align with the context of practicality. In Option (2), "to make a truckload of paper" is a clear, factual expression related to the production of paper. In Option (3), the phrase "paper over" is used metaphorically to mean covering up or smoothing over a conflict. This is the correct context for the word "paper." In Option (4), "a paper on criminalization of politics" is correct as it refers to a formal written document or scholarly work. \[ \boxed{3} \]
