But "Where ____ my keys?" is a problem hiding in question clothing.

To see this, consider some possible ____

Something too domesticated isn't actually more accessible or approachable, it evaporates altogether ____ we just take it for granted until art restores its visibility.

And perhaps translation is an art especially well suited for this task: while a great work of literature accumulates imitations and clichés and a body of scholarship and analysis and study guides that may well bury it, translations ____ that work free it from its stodgy fame and make the stone stony again, precisely by putting it in another language.

A bad text is one that, in Berman's terms, lacks "native strangeness" —and when you translate it, nothing ____

We are rational creatures, ____ able to ask for justification, and this is a trait that has served us well in many contexts.

When the concept of expansion gets mentioned, it is difficult to resist the urge to picture ____ Universe with a finite and growing boundary.

Our natural ____ is to wonder what the Universe could possibly be expanding into.

To be more accurate, the Universe does not expand into ____

It ____ expands by itself within itself.

In contrast to our inflating balloon ____ say, a pipe leak that causes gas to spread into a room that exists in its own right, our expanding Universe is not spilling into another separate entity, nor even another dimension.

It is the structure of space and time that stretches, a structure that has ____ existed, at least since the Big Bang.

This structure or fabric of space and time is elastic ____ malleable.

Just as it can pull us apart as we fall inside a black hole, it can also expand and cause anything and anyone embedded in it ____ move farther apart.

Scholars ____ demonstrated that the gestures hearing people produce while they are speaking are systematically made at the same time with speech such that language and gesture must be considered "co-expressive".

This tightly integrated pairing of language and gesture enables speakers to conceptualize and formulate their thoughts in terms of both the "categorical" requirements of language, and the "imagistic" ____ of gesture.

For example, in describing an event, one must decide ____ the event has been completed or is ongoing if the language being spoken at that moment has a verbal affix for each meaning and one or the other must be chosen.

This kind of choice is characteristic of language as a semiotic ____

According to McNeil and Duncan, gesture is ____ from language in that it does not present the speaker with such choices.

Instead, it offers a kind of glue, which helps unite linguistic elements ____ a larger semiotic expression, which, as a whole, shares important characteristics with the represented objects.

In ____ view, speech and gesture are not redundant nor is one a "translation" of the other.

Rather, the minimal processing unit for the expression of ____ is a combination of the two: it is "imagistic-categorial" in nature.

Often there are admittance processes, combined with tests ____ a candidate's abilities.

In the premodern ____ epistemic communities were often kept secret, with strict tests of loyalty for new members, not least because of fears that specialized knowledge would fall into the "wrong hands."

Some traces of these older ____ may still be present today, but on the whole, the ideal has shifted to openness among the members of epistemic communities, and also, to some extent, toward outsiders.

Nonetheless, for most outsiders even completely transparent practices do not lift the veil behind which such forms of knowledge are hidden—without the relevant training ____ acquisition of skills, which often take many years, one simply cannot make sense of the information that is being shared.

Other, more ____ strategies are needed to make certain forms of knowledge as "accessible" as is realistically possible.

Carstensen's (1995) socioemotional ____ theory looks at individuals' goals as a lifelong process that strengthens and matures with ageing.

Building ____ this foundation, more recent research looks deeply into additional factors influencing well-being in later adulthood, particularly emphasising the role of self-worthiness, and the overall positive impact of developing a well-rounded self-view in life course transitions.

Together, these studies suggest that both goal alignment and ____ positive self-perception are crucial for enhancing motivation and overall well-being in later life.

In fact, third-age learners ____ a higher degree of selectivity when it comes to determining which goals to pursue and how to allocate their resources towards those specific priorities.

Older adults demonstrate a stronger ____ of life purpose and self-fulfilment.

They do it their way, and their way is an accumulation of winning and personalized combinations in effectively relating motives all together at different degrees according to their ____ contexts.

Writing of a commentary by Lenin on Leo Tolstoy, the critic ____ Macherey agrees with Lenin's claim that Tolstoy's work holds up a mirror to the Russian revolution of 1905.

There are things which do not and cannot figure in the mirror —in the case of Tolstoy, certain contradictions in society of which he ____ not be conscious.

Even so, the mirror ____ us aware of these absences, which thus become faintly present.

It is as though it allows us to ____ more clearly what isn't there.

There is also no ____ to assume that what we see in the mirror must form a coherent whole.

On the contrary, it ____ be in pieces and discordant.

'The mirror ____ doubtless defective; the outlines will sometimes be disturbed; the reflection faint or confused', remarks George Eliot in Adam Bede, reproaching the kind of naive realism which holds that art (or mirrors) always tell it like it is.

____ mirror offers us a version of reality, but it does so from a viewpoint which cannot be captured in the mirror itself.

And because this viewpoint is invisible to us, we might be tempted ____ take it as beyond question.
