Rationale: The correct answer, D, supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio during an interview is a good practice for journalists because it highlights the benefit of having two resources - notes and audio recording - to refer to while writing the article draft. This ensures accuracy and completeness in the reporting process. Choice A is incorrect as it only mentions the use of a recording device without emphasizing the value of combining notes with audio. Choice B is irrelevant as it discusses the potential troubles of relying solely on a recording device. Choice C is also incorrect as it focuses on the risk of losing part of the interview without providing support for the dual-note method.

Respecting students fosters positive relationships. 4. Respect is a fundamental principle in educational settings. 5. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Summary of other choices: A: Not all students mentioned apparel; not a shared idea. C: Some students did mention appearance; not a shared idea.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: As. In the context of the passage, the word "as" implies a simultaneous action, indicating that the plunger being depressed and air being pushed out are happening at the same time. This word suggests a cause-and-effect relationship between the two actions. The other choices, A: Out, B: Continued, and D: Causes, do not directly convey the idea of simultaneous actions in the context provided. "Out" simply indicates direction, "continued" implies a sequence of actions, and "causes" suggests a relationship between actions but not necessarily simultaneous.
