Drinking bypasses lots of our ____ food control system.

Just think how easy it is to drink a large glass of apple juice, yet you wouldn’t sit down and eat eight apples in one sitting — after the second one, the control system would step in and say you have had ____.

The whole apple contains fibre, which slows the release of the apple’s sugar and, in doing so, balances the effect of eating it on our ____.

This ____ how words are mere labels for constructs of meanings.

If these constructs have a different make-up from one person to another, the transitivity of communication between them is not going to be complete or ____.

For those who are learning English as an additional language, ____ of English forms and structures, and their meanings may pose difficulties, or even may be tinged with aspects of meaning from the characteristics owned by the native tongue.

Many of us are prone to wanting instant gratification: constantly buying new clothes to be ‘trendy’, ____ the latest thing to ‘keep up’ or seeking immediate results or pleasure.

Waffling is annoying ____ you are trying to make decisions on the basis of the scientific information that comes your way.

However, if a new technique is the source of the uncertainty, ____ and future experiments will confirm or disconfirm its usefulness and clear up uncertainty.
