Question 1

Question 2

Accepted Answer

if

Answer

"If" introduces a conditional clause expressing the circumstance under which notification is required. The other conjunctions do not establish this conditional relationship.

Question 3

Question 4

Accepted Answer

take

Answer

"Take effect" is the correct fixed collocation meaning to become operative or valid. "Make," "do," and "give" do not collocate with "effect" in this sense.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

diligently

Answer

"Diligently" is the adverb that modifies the verb "works." The adjective, noun, and comparative adjective forms cannot directly modify a verb.
