To solve this question, the user needs to understand the meaning of the word applauded and the context of the given sentence.

The word "applauded" means to show approval or praise by clapping. Therefore, the sentence is saying that the audience showed their approval by clapping enthusiastically after the performance ended.

Based on this understanding, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A) True

The correct answer is A (True). In English grammar, when referring to a duration of time, 'for' is the correct preposition to use. 'I haven't seen him for over five years' is grammatically correct usage.

The correct answer is B (False). The sentence uses 'beside' incorrectly. 'Beside' means 'next to' or 'at the side of'. The correct word here should be 'besides' (with an 's'), which means 'in addition to' or 'also'. The sentence should read 'BESIDES the fact that it was difficult...'

The correct answer is B (False). In the context of asking for a salary increase, the correct word is 'raise' (with an 'a'), which means an increase in salary. 'Rise' (with an 'i') is an intransitive verb meaning to go up or ascend - you don't 'get a rise', you 'get a raise'.

The correct answer is A (True). 'Headline' is the correct term for the main title of a newspaper article or news story. This is standard journalistic terminology and the sentence is grammatically correct.

Effect is correctly used as a noun meaning result or consequence. Affect would be the verb form meaning to influence.

The past tense of the verb lie (to recline) is lay, not lied (which means to tell an untruth) or lie (present tense).

Receipt refers to a written proof of purchase, not cooking instructions. The correct term for dessert-making instructions is recipe.

Inspect means to examine officially or closely. Border officials examine passports, making this usage correct.
