0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every press release through legal and communications before it goes out, rather than publishing a first draft straight to the wire.'
We 'route a release' — the standard, simple collocation for sending a draft through required reviewers. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping legal review on a release mentioning financial figures can ___ the company exposed to a claim of misleading disclosure.'
We say skipped review will 'leave' a company exposed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting risk. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every factual claim in the release against a verifiable source, rather than a number pulled loosely from memory.'
We 'verify a claim' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming accuracy before publication. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the release's tone against company style guidelines, rather than language that reads wildly different from everything else we've published.'
We 'check tone' — the standard, simple collocation for reviewing consistency with brand voice. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ final sign-off from the named executive quoted in the release, rather than publishing words attributed to someone who never actually approved them.'
We 'obtain sign-off' — the standard, simple collocation for getting formal approval before publishing. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
