Key Points

• The phrasal verb "take up" means to occupy space or time.
• In this context, the books on Shakespeare are occupying or "taking up" 10 shelves.
• The other options: "take over," "turn up," and "turn over" do not fit the sentence appropriately.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Complete Sentence: The books on Shakespeare take up 10 shelves.

Additional Information

• Take over: means to assume control or responsibility.
• Turn up: means to appear or be found unexpectedly.
• Turn over: means to flip or rotate something.

Key Points

• The phrase "Despite being the _______ partner" signals a contrast, suggesting that the first blank must denote power or control.
• "Dominant" is the most appropriate adjective, as it refers to the more powerful or controlling party in a relationship.
• The second blank must refer to benefits or control typically expected from a dominant position. "Advantages" fits this meaning well.
• Thus, the sentence highlights a paradox — the franchiser is dominant but may still lack all the advantages typically associated with dominance.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Complete Sentence: Despite being the dominant partner in the relationship, the franchiser does not always have all the advantages.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "sincere : limitation" – Incorrect; unrelated to the context of business partnerships.
