Make that "mass media."

I don't really understand how this exercise works.

Are you looking for opposites?

Yes, "light" is the opposite of "heavy," but there's no word in #1 which is really opposite of "mass."

"Tiny" would be opposite of "massive," so perhaps the exercise is poorly written.

Edit. Sorry, I didn't see the thread title. It doesn't always show on my screen.

Hi,

1. The messmedia have become one of the main instrument of political change'.

'Mess' is a typo. The word is 'mass'.

A. less B. fewer C. small D. tiny

D is not wrong, but it sounds silly. I think the examiner wants you to choose C, but the phrase 'small media' is not natural.

You'd say it another way, eg smaller media outlets.

2.Heavy rain causes floods all over the country.

A. light B. thin C. tiny D. trivial

Yes, A.

Sentence 1 I choose the answer D and A for sentence 2.

I would like to receive your comment.
