Choose the objectively best completion for each sentence.
1The licence provides that only accredited laboratories may issue certificates, but imposes no duty on them to do so; it therefore ............... issuance merely because a laboratory is accredited.
Wrong!
"does not entail" is correct because restricting who may issue certificates creates no corresponding obligation to issue them.
2Because the observed outcome was entailed both by the proposed model and by every live rival, the findings ............... the proposed model but do not corroborate it.
Wrong!
"are consistent with" is correct because an outcome entailed by every live model provides no discriminatory corroboration.
3Management repeatedly advertised the review as independent, but emails show that it dictated the conclusions; the review was ............... independent.
Wrong!
"ostensibly" denotes the independence claimed or presented publicly despite contrary evidence.
4By expressly and knowingly renouncing its right to invoke the time bar, the company ............... that right rather than losing it through procedural default.
Wrong!
"waived" denotes the deliberate relinquishment of a right, whereas forfeiture commonly results from failure to satisfy a requirement.
5The licence is granted ............... clause 9, which continues to qualify it by allowing revocation for non-compliance.
Wrong!
"subject to" is correct because clause 9 continues to qualify the licence rather than being overridden by it.
6The misrepresentation gives the deceived party the option to rescind, but the contract remains effective unless and until they do so; it is therefore ...............
Wrong!
"voidable" is correct because the contract remains effective until the entitled party elects to rescind it.
7The protocol would remain unethical ............... every participant had consented—a condition the inquiry found was not in fact met—because the risk itself was impermissible.
Wrong!
"even if" introduces a hypothetical concession and does not assert that the condition was fulfilled.
8The general release must cover misstatements in principle; ..............., the specific carve-out excluding fraudulent misstatements would be redundant.
Wrong!
"otherwise" means that, if the preceding interpretation were not adopted, the fraud carve-out would become redundant.
9An authenticated biometric confirmation from her device accompanied the transfer, and the forensic report rules out spoofing, remote access, or another user; she ............... initiated it.
Wrong!
"must have" expresses the practically unavoidable deduction licensed by the biometric evidence and the exclusion of alternative access.
10Records show that each complaint received at least one reply, but no single reply addressed all complaints. The accurate summary is that ...............
Wrong!
"every complaint received a reply" gives each complaint its own existentially quantified reply without implying one reply covered them all.
11The figures may well have been compiled in good faith. ..............., they cannot support the conclusion, because the sample excludes half the population.
Wrong!
"Be that as it may" concedes the preceding possibility before presenting a conclusion that remains unaffected by it.
12The amendment did not broaden the exception; ..............., it narrowed it by adding two further conditions.
Wrong!
"rather" directly replaces the rejected description "broaden" with the corrective description "narrowed".
