Ex 2 1
The writer says that they thought Hong Kong was only tall towers. She thinks that travel agents should help tourists to understand that this is not the case. Therefore, possible meanings of ‘dispel’ are ‘stop’ or ‘change’.
2
In the previous sentence, the writer mentions that there are ‘so many things to do’ in Hong Kong, so ‘diversity’ probably means having ‘variety’ or something to do with ‘a wide choice’.
3
The writer mentions that she found the city ‘rather noisy and crowded’ and that she was glad ‘to get away’ by going to Lantau, so ‘hustle and bustle’ probably means ‘noisy and busy’.
4
The writer says that the views are ‘fantastic’, so ‘stunning’ is probably a positive adjective close in meaning to words like ‘splendid’, ‘special’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘very good’.
