ENG1512 Assignment 1 Semester 1 | Due 19 March 2025. All questions answered. Question 1: Vocabulary building
1.1. Unit 1 of the study guide (TUT501) highlights that dictionaries help to provide the
meaning of words. They can also be utilised to build vocabulary. As you read, you can use
a dictionary to look up the meaning of unfamiliar words, which helps to expand your
vocabulary. Find any newspaper article of approximately 150 words with content related to
the field of economics and management. You can either attach a photo of the article to your
answer book or type it out. Identify and underline or label new words you have learned from the article. Then, draft a paragraph of about 100 words to demonstrate your
understanding of these words.

1.2 Explore various articles on Google Scholar to observe how the words provided in the table
below are utilised in the context of economics and management. Identify and extract relevant
sentences that exemplify their contextual usage. Ensure accurate citation of sources,
including page numbers, and compile a full reference list of all sources utilised. In addition,
carefully note the parts of speech provided for each word and strive to find sentence examples
that match these parts of speech.

Question 2: Reading and comprehension
Effective reading is crucial in this module, as it enables you to internalise key economic
concepts, terminologies and build vocabulary. To comprehend your reading, engage with
the texts and critically analyse the content. Read the following excerpt from an article and
respond to the subsequent questions.
lln a corporation , by contrast, the shareholders do not personally manage their money.
Instead, a corporation is managed by directors and officers who need not be investors.
Because managerial authority is concentrated in the hands of directors and officers,
shares are freely transferable in the hands of directors and officers, shares are freely
transferable unless otherwise agreed. They can be sold or given to anyone without
placing other investors at the mercy of a new owner’s poor judgment. The splitting of
management and ownership into distinct functions is the main corporate feature.
Shareholders receive voting rights to elect the board of directors, and the directors, in
turn, elect the officers. When a corporation is created, its officers, directors, and
shareholders usually are the same people. They elect themselves or their nominees
to the board of directors and then elect themselves as corporate officers. When the
corporation later goes public, the founders usually prefer to retain control because they
value the additional capital and because they expect to continue to control a maj ority
of votes on the board and thus to direct the company’s future policy and growth.
