combinations as they occur in Text 1.
a) Inbound, outsourced, temporary, customs, raw, cost, full, service,
supply chain.
b) Service, materials, visibility, storage, provision, elements,
clearance, agility, logistics.
Here are the word combinations in the order they appear in Text 1:
1. Inbound materials: Inbound means coming into a place, and materials refer to the physical items or substances used for production or construction.
2. Outsourced logistics: Outsourced means to obtain goods or services from an external source, and logistics refers to the organization and management of the flow of goods.
3. Temporary storage: Temporary means lasting for a limited time, and storage refers to the act of keeping something in a specific place for future use.
4. Customs clearance: Customs refers to the government department responsible for controlling the flow of goods in and out of a country, and clearance means the formal procedure to allow the import or export of goods.
5. Raw materials provision: Raw materials are the basic substances used in the production of goods, and provision refers to the act of supplying or providing something.
6. Cost elements: Cost refers to the amount of money required to produce or acquire something, and elements refer to the individual parts or factors that contribute to the cost.
7. Full visibility: Visibility means the state of being able to see and understand something clearly, and full visibility refers to having complete clarity or understanding of a situation.
8. Service agility: Service refers to the provision of assistance or help, and agility refers to the ability to move quickly and easily.
Now let's go through the step-by-step approach to match the words from list a with list b:
1. Read each word from list a and try to find a corresponding word from list b that makes sense in the context of the given word combination.
2. For example, the first word from list a is "Inbound". Look at list b, and the word "materials" seems to be the most fitting one to combine with "Inbound" as it relates to the flow of materials coming into a place.
3. Repeat this process for each word from list a until you have matched all the words with their corresponding partners from list b.
Remember, when matching the words, think about their meanings and how they relate to each other in the given context. This will help you create accurate word combinations as they occur in Text 1.
