Question

complete the text with the correct pair of words. could you __ these water samples to michelle? shes __ of the team thats performing the chemical analysis for the study. bring... a part bring... apart take... a part take... apart

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context and word meanings:

1. For the first blank, "take" means to move something from one place to another (here, moving the water samples to Michelle). "Bring" would imply moving towards the speaker, which doesn't fit.
2. For the second blank, "a part" means a member or component (She is a member of the team). "apart" means separated, which is incorrect here. So the correct pair is "take... a part". Wait, no—wait, correction: Wait, "take" is to move away from the speaker, "bring" is to move towards the speaker. Wait, the sentence is asking to send the samples to Michelle (so from the speaker to Michelle, so "take" is correct? Wait no—if the speaker is asking someone to give the samples to Michelle (who is elsewhere), "take" is correct (take the samples to Michelle). Then "a part" of the team (she is a member of the team). Wait, but let's re - check the options. Wait, the first option: "bring... a part"—if the speaker is asking someone to bring the samples to Michelle (assuming Michelle is near the speaker? No, that's not likely. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, "bring" is to carry towards the speaker, "take" is to carry away from the speaker. So if the task is to send the samples to Michelle (who is away from the speaker), "take" is correct. Then "a part" of the team (she is a member). So the correct pair is "take... a part"? Wait, no—wait the options: "take... a part" is an option. Wait, but let's check the second part again. "a part of" means a component or member, "apart" means separated. So "She's a part of the team" is correct. And "take these samples to Michelle" (move the samples to Michelle, away from the speaker). So the correct pair is "take... a part"? Wait, no—wait the first option: "bring... a part"—if Michelle is near the speaker, then "bring" would be correct. But the context of a study's chemical analysis team—probably Michelle is not near the speaker. So "take" is correct. So the correct option is "take... a part". Wait, but let's check the options again. The options are:

• bring... a part
• bring... apart
• take... a part
• take... apart

So the correct one is "take... a part" because "take" (move the samples to Michelle) and "a part" (she is a member of the team).

Answer:

take... a part
