Hi Simon,
With due respect, I think section 3 that very likely is the multiplechoice, to assess your understanding of opinion is the most difficult, as you feel obliged to listen and understand simultaneously.

Array is the new word for me.
It has different meanings in dictionaries. Could you please explain meaning in this sentence.
Your site is awesome. I am new here and liked it very much =)
Posted by: Alosha | Friday, November 16, 2012 at 19:22
hi Alosha,
According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, array = a GROUP or COLLETION of things or people, often one that is large or impressive.
Therefore, i think, in this sentence ' the wide ARRAY of human social experience = the wide GROUP of human social experience.
