1. Read the text and choose the correct answers
Journalism has changed a

the job. For example, the editor would tell them to go and hang (3) by /around
the police so that they could find out what was going (4) on / through. Nowadays, a lot of journalists
sit in front of their computers all day. They hardly get out (5) of /from their offices at all.

What makes someone want

set (9) out /off the change the way people think and behave. But I

able to express yourself clearly, of course.
