Answer:
the only way to get accurate information is to go there and see what is happening
Explanation:
From the statement "But war reporting is still essentially the same - someone has to go there and see what is happening." The contradiction Colvin uses is that even with the use of technology such as satellite phone, camera and so on, the only way to get accurate information is to go there and see what is happening, and then report the news in TV, blogs or twitter. You cannot get information without going to those places.
B. The book, torn and ripped nearly to shreds, was now worthless..
C. My friend, who participated in the Olympics, is a talented runner.
D. Lily jumped over the small stream and gracefully landed on the other side
The correct answer is B. The book, torn and ripped nearly to shreds, was now worthless.
The phrase torn and ripped nearly to shreds is a participial phrase, and it is functioning as an adjective, describing the noun the book. Participles can be used as either adverbs (when they are describing verbs), or adjectives (when they are describing nouns, which is the case here).
A is incorrect because working hard is a gerund, not participle. C is incorrect because who participated in the Olympics is a clause, not participle. D is incorrect because there isn't even a participle there.

Answer: D. 20th Century: to make.
Explanation: In the given line from "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley we can see how the speaker (Dr. Frankenstein) is describing his creation, how ugly it was and how he was able to move. In this lines the definition of "render" that is most likely suited is the one from the 20th century: to make. When we replace this definition in the sentence, it makes perfect sense: "..when those muscles and joints were made capable of motion.."
