Owing to her green thumb, the abandoned community garden was transformed into a flourishing ecological space within a few months.Solution
The idiom āgreen thumbā refers to: ā a natural talent or exceptional ability in gardening or growing plants successfully. In sentence A, the usage is correct. The researcher successfully cultivates rare medicinal plants, which directly relates to gardening skill. In sentence B, the usage is incorrect. Negotiating trade agreements has no connection with horticultural ability or plant cultivation. In sentence C, the usage is correct. Transforming a neglected garden into a flourishing ecological space appropriately reflects the meaning of āgreen thumb.ā Hence, option (c)
What is the simplified value of the given expression?
4(sinĀ² 20Ā° + sinĀ² 70Ā°) + 2sin 30Ā° - (2sec 60Ā° + cot 45Ā°)
If 17sin A = 8, where 0
tan 20Ė x tan 23Ė x tan 67Ė x tan 70Ė = ?
If 3 tan X + cot X = 2ā3, then find the value of 6 tan2Ā X + 2 cot2Ā X.
If 2ycosĪø = x sinĪø and 2xsecĪø ā ycosecĪø = 3, then x 2 + 4y 2 = ?
If (3cos A - sin A) = 2 cos (90Ā° - A), then find the value of cot A.
- Find the maximum value of (9sin A + 12cos A).
- If 2cosĀ²A + 3sinĀ²A = 13/5, then find the value of (secĀ²A - 1)
- If sin 2a = (1/2), then find the value of (sin a + cos a).
- If sin (3A ā 2B) = (ā3/2) and cos (A + B) = (1/2), where 0Ā° < A, B < 90Ā°, then find the value of āAā.
