Besvar både opgave a. og b. nedenfor. Brug relevant grammatisk terminologi. Skriv dine svar på dansk.

Teksten er fra en britisk hjemmeside, der rådgiver studerende.

We want all potential higher education students to receive improved and effective information,
advice and guidance so they can make the choices that are right for them. We believe that all
 3 
potential students should get personalised, high quality and accurate advice to inform what, where
and how they study higher education, if that is what they want to do.
    We know from research with prospective students that there is much more to do to improve in this
 6 
area. They consistently tell us that they feel the information and advice they receive is not as good
as it could be.

That is why we want to:
  •  9 
    collaborate with a range of partners to improve and join up our advice and guidance work
    more effectively, to ensure that all different student groups are provided for and the full
    range of higher education study options are promoted.
  •  12 
  • deliver a new national online information resource that would both provide authoritative,
    accurate information about higher education and signpost to other sources of information.
    This will be launched in autumn 2019.

Teksten er et uddrag af en nyhedsartikel.


Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is eyeing a 107-year-old post office on Manhattan’s West Side to help
him grow the social network’s Big Apple1 presence, The Post2 has learned. [...]
 3 
    The landmark building, which has been renamed the Farley Building by its redeveloper, Vornado
Realty Trust, is slated to open next year following a gut renovation.
    No deal has been signed, but talks are advanced enough that the US arm of Japanese
 6 
advertising firm Dentsu has been derailed from its play to take over the fourth floor, sources with
knowledge of the talks told The Post. [...]
    The building, which was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, was reported to be the
 9 
largest post office in the country when it was built on the block bounded by West 33rd and West
34th streets between Eighth and Ninth avenues.
    The stunning exterior will remain largely the same post-renovation. Inside, high-tech office space
 12 
will take over floors 2, 3 and 4. A smaller fifth floor, which Facebook will also lease, will be added
atop the building surrounded by 70,000 square feet of outdoor landscaped park areas. [...]
    It’s unclear what will happen to Facebook’s current NYC3 offices, including 758,000 square feet at
 15 
770 Broadway and 266,000 square feet at 225 Park Avenue South.
    Both Farley and 770 Broadway are owned by Vornado and its chairman Steve Roth, who has
been wining and dining
tech companies for years in an effort to lease them the top floors of the post
 18 
office.
    Roth, whose reps didn’t immediately return a request for comment, could cut Facebook a deal for
Farley that also lets it off the hook for its current East Village lease, which expires in 2025.
