Question 1

way that it sounds correct to people who have spoken it all their lives but it might not be
1
, expected from the actual meaning. Another example of collocation in the text above is
the term Social Sciences and it refers to the study of the people in the society.
1.2. The term yet creates a relationship between the clauses, “There are many merits in
adapting to the 4IR” and “I would be remiss not to”, forming a whole sentence yet giving
a more contradicting form from the sentence before it and having the clause “Yet, I
would remiss not to” would make the sentence itself more confusing as one would
wonder what the idea contrary to this statement was. Therefore, using the term yet
gives the readers more understanding on what is going on and avoids confusion.
1.3. The words expressed by the compound noun is “counter and productive”. To
counter means to react to something with an opposing opinion or action and productive
means to put more effort to something and achieve a lot. The two terms combined

the workplace.
