Instruction: answer question based on the following text.



(Avalaible in: https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/2013/07/01/janus-words-two-faced-english/#more-2382 – text especially adapted for this test).

Why is the sentence “I shall lose no time reading your next Cambridge post.” (l. 31) an example of a Janus sentence?

  • It means both “I won’t read your post because that would be a waste of time” and “Reading your post is investing my time, not wasting it”.
  • The word “shall” suggests an obligation and that the speaker is only trying to please the author.
  • The author is not sure someone will read his next article.
  • The speaker means they have a lot of free time.
  • The sentence means the speaker never reads the author’s posts because they are always “waiting for the next one”.
