Part 7 · New Translation-Request Procedure Notice E-mail

Corporate CommunicationsNew Translation-Request Procedure

Questions 6-8 refer to the following e-mail.

To: All Project Leaders From: Corporate Communications Subject: New Translation-Request Procedure

Beginning November 1, translation requests must be submitted through the Language Services portal. Standard business documents should be submitted at least three business days before the translated version is needed. Technical and legal documents require five business days because they undergo an additional terminology review.

Documents containing fewer than 500 words may qualify for same-day service if they are submitted before 10:00 A.M. and do not require special formatting. An additional charge will apply, and acceptance will depend on translator availability.

Projects already being handled by our current translation vendor will remain with that vendor until completion. A project leader who wishes to transfer an existing project to the new service must first contact Corporate Communications. When submitting confidential material, employees should confirm that the document is correctly classified in the portal. Requests cannot be assigned to a translator until this step has been completed.

03 Answers & explanations

Answers appear after you submit

No.	Correct answer	Point tested	Explanation
1	A · recognition	Noun collocation	"in recognition of" (in honor of) is a fixed collocation often used in award contexts. "realization," "observation," and "confirmation" cannot combine with "in...of" to mean "in honor of."
2	C · Having been informed	Passive perfect participle	The subject "the client" is the one being informed, and the action happens before the main clause's action (agreed), so the passive perfect participle "Having been informed" is needed — equivalent to "After the client had been informed." "Informing" (active present participle, wrong logical subject), "Having informed" (active perfect participle, wrong logical subject), and "To be informing" (infinitive progressive, wrong form) do not fit.
3	B · concerned	Past participle as postpositive modifier	"concerned" here means "related, involved" and functions as a postpositive modifier of "parties," equivalent to "parties who are concerned." "concern" (base verb form), "concerning" (present participle/preposition, meaning "about"), and "concerns" (third-person singular verb) cannot modify a noun this way.
4	C · beyond	Preposition discrimination	"beyond" (past, later than) fits the context of not being able to guarantee stock past a certain point in time. "among" (amid), "beside" (next to), and "throughout" (all through) cannot express "past a point in time."
5	A · exempt	Adjective collocation	"exempt from" (excused from) is a fixed collocation fitting the context that overseas-branch employees are not excused from the training either. "reluctant" (usually "reluctant to do"), "eligible" (usually "eligible for"), and "respective" (each's own) cannot combine with "from" to mean "excused."
6	B · They are subject to an additional review.	Contrast question	Corresponds to "Technical and legal documents require five business days because they undergo an additional terminology review."
7	A · A 400-word document submitted at 9:30 A.M. without special formatting	Multiple-condition judgment question	Corresponds to "Documents containing fewer than 500 words may qualify for same-day service if they are submitted before 10:00 A.M. and do not require special formatting." (Option A's document is 400 words, submitted at 9:30 A.M., with no special formatting — all three conditions are met.)
8	C · They will normally remain with the current vendor.	Status-quo continuation inference question	Corresponds to "Projects already being handled by our current translation vendor will remain with that vendor until completion."

06 Answer techniques

Part 5 + 7 · 6 tips

01
The collocation "in recognition of"
Means "in honor of," often used in award contexts. "realization," "observation," and "confirmation" cannot combine with "in...of" to mean "in honor of."
02
The passive perfect participle "Having been informed"
When the logical subject of a participial phrase is the receiver of the action, and that action happens before the main clause's action, the passive perfect participle "Having been + past participle" is needed. An active present participle, an active perfect participle, or an infinitive progressive do not fit the passive meaning of "being informed."
03
"concerned" as a postpositive modifier
Means "related, involved," placed after a noun to modify it — equivalent to a relative clause with "who are" omitted. The base verb form, the present participle ("concerning" means "about" as a preposition/present participle), and the third-person singular form cannot be used this way.
04
Preposition discrimination for "beyond"
Means "past, later than" a point in time. "among," "beside," and "throughout" cannot express "past a point in time."
05
The collocation "exempt from"
Means "excused from." "reluctant" (usually "reluctant to do"), "eligible" (usually "eligible for"), and "respective" cannot combine with "from" to mean "excused."
06
Reading: contrasting a difference, judging multiple conditions, and inferring the continuation of the status quo
Q6: catch the reason clause introduced by "because" — technical/legal documents need five business days due to an additional terminology review. Q7: check all three conditions in "if...and..." (fewer than 500 words, submitted before 10 A.M., no special formatting) one by one; failing even one rules an option out. Q8: judge from "will remain with...until completion" — projects already underway stay with the current vendor until finished, rather than automatically transferring to the new procedure.
