24.(      )In a tree diagram of sentence structures, S is the root of the tree, occupying the topmost position, from where it branches into phrasal categories, which further branch into smaller syntactic units. The points at which the tree branches are located at various levels are known as branching nodes. A branching node is connected directly only to one lower node.
25.(      ) Pairs of words that exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the two items are called complementary opposites.

26.(      ) If a speaker is saying something for which he or she lacks adequate evidence, he or she is violating the maxim of quantity.
27.(      ) Cognates may be defined as words that have developed from a common ancestor or common source.Work on the systematic form-meaning resemblance in cognates lies at the core of comparative reconstruction.
28.(      ) In medieval times, an agree-upon “common tongue” came into use in the eastern Mediterranean ports, which was called Lingua Franca.The term lingua franca cannot be generalized to other languages similarly used.Thus, not any language can be a lingua franca.
29.(      ) The fact that successful translation between languages can be made is one of the major arguments against the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
30.(      ) Empirical studies show that interference from the mother tongue is the major source of errors in learning a second language.

32.liquids
