The soil in our area is CLAY, suitable for the production of ceramic products.
Man breathed the life-giving air of the thickets and ate the pure juices of the earth, and not kerosene fumes and canned food.
Explanation (see also Rule below).
In sentence 4, it is correct to use the word CLAY instead of the word CLAY.
CLAY - made from clay.
CLAY - containing clay.
Answer: clayey.
Answer: clayey
Rule: Task 5. Using paronyms
Paronyms are words that are similar in sound, but differ (partially or completely) in meaning.
Sometimes in our speech there are words that sound similar, but have different shades of meaning or are completely different in semantics. Among lexical errors caused by ignorance of the exact meaning of a word, the most common are errors associated with non-delimitation or confusion of paronyms.
Greek in origin linguistic term"paronym" literally means "same name": Greek. para- identical, onyma- Name.
Paronyms can be called both words of the same root and similar in sound, which, despite all their similarity, still differ in shades of meaning or denote different realities of reality.
“Analysis of the performance of task 5 showed that the difficulty for 40% of subjects is not only recognizing an error made when using paronyms, but also selecting a paronym appropriate to the context for editing an example with an error, which reveals the narrowness vocabulary examinees." To help students select paronym words, a “Dictionary of Paronyms” is published annually. It is not for nothing that it is called a “dictionary”, since “Dictionaries” contain thousands of paronymous words. Minimum included in the dictionary will be used in CMMs, but learning paronyms for task 5 is not an end in itself. This knowledge will allow you to avoid numerous speech errors in written works.
Please note that the RESHUEGE assignments contain assignments from previous years, and they contain words not from this list.
Write the word in the form required in the sentence. This requirement is based on the fact that the rules for filling out forms indicate: if the short answer should be a word missing in a certain sentence, then this word must be written in the form (gender, number, case, etc.) in which it should stand in a sentence.

Leaves, grass and even forest giants - trees, having outlived their life, fall to the ground and disappear, becoming part of the very soil that once gave them life. This is the eternal law of nature. Without soil animals, fallen leaves, pine needles, and branches would decompose 5 times slower, and the whole world would become a dirty dump.
The small inhabitants of the earth are a huge force. Usually we simply forget about them, although myriads of invisible beings are constantly near us. It’s hard to even imagine that 1.5 million living organisms live in a 1g pinch of earth. A hectare of arable soil of various types contains from 600 kg to 5 tons of living microbes. The world around us is full of bacteria. Some of the microorganisms are active helpers of humans, others spoil the fruits of his labor, and still others cause various diseases.
Sanatorium "Sosnovy Bor"
Animals have a rather complex and subtle defense system that protects them from invading microbes. How do plants protect themselves from them? After all, they are also affected by viral, fungal and other diseases. If some plants do not get sick, it means that they are able to somehow protect themselves. How?
People have long noticed that some plants have antimicrobial properties. Brewers knew that hops added to the fermenting mass prevented putrefactive microflora from developing. Wormwood and oregano have the same properties.
Hunters have their own observations - they covered the game with herbs, and it was kept fresh. Tarragon and common thyme have such preservative properties.
Many scientists have noted that plants (tissues or special volatile fractions) are capable of killing many microorganisms, some protozoa. But scientific explanation they didn’t find that. Soviet scientist B.P. Tokin drew attention to the fact that all the ciliates that were in the Petri dish, where there was onion pulp, died. The scientist repeated the experiments over and over again. The onion and garlic pulp killed pathogenic bacteria.
Volatile substances of plant origin, which so mercilessly dealt with microorganisms, were called phytoncides by B.P. Tokin (from the Greek “phyto” - plant, Lat. “cido” - I kill). It turns out that volatile substances serve as protective forces for plant organisms. Aboveground parts of plants release phytoncides into the atmosphere, underground parts into the soil, and aquatic parts into water. The amount of these substances varies depending on the season, the physiological state of the plant, soil and weather. Most of them occur during flowering plants.
At one time it was assumed that only essential plants have phytoncidal properties. Research has shown that this phenomenon is characteristic of everything flora, but it happens in different ways. Some of the phytoncides are volatile and can exert their effect at a distance; others are formed in the juice of tissues at the time of damage to cell membranes. Phytoncides can also be released from intact leaves, although not from all plants. For example, if a drop containing live ciliates falls on an oak or birch leaf, after a while they die. Staphylococcus aureus microbes die on the leaves of bird cherry and linden. The leaves of poplar and birch destroy microbes the fastest (within 3 hours).
If we calculate the entire enormous area of the green surface of our forests and fields and take into account that damaged leaves are constantly present and in significant quantities, we can understand why, with all the exceptional ability to reproduce, microbes are not able to fill the entire globe.
Plants taken together, according to scientists, annually emit about 490 million tons of volatile substances into the atmosphere. We inhale them with air and assimilate them into our bodies, disinfecting our lungs. Many examples can confirm that phytoncides are active. Take at least the simplest one. There is a large bouquet of bird cherry or white lilies in a vase. The aroma fills the room. But you should not leave the flowers here overnight, otherwise you will wake up in the morning with a severe headache. The culprits will be phytoncides, their effects are very strong. If chopped bird cherry leaves are placed under a glass cover and flies or mice are placed there, then after a while the animals will die. Bird cherry phytoncides even kill rats.
Residents of the Caucasus know well that you should not sleep under a walnut tree: you will have poor sleep and a headache the next day. Phytoncides in walnut leaves repel flies, mosquitoes and other insects.
Volatile phytoncides of the green belt put forward a strong barrier to pathogenic organisms. They have the ability to kill bacteria from a distance. In addition, plants also contain non-volatile bactericidal substances. The juice of pine, spruce, juniper needles, poplar, oak, birch and many other plants has bactericidal properties.
A hectare of deciduous forest releases 2 kg of volatile phytoncides daily in summer, coniferous forest - 5, and juniper - 30 kg of volatile substances that are destructive to microorganisms. This amount is enough to kill all the germs in a medium-sized city. That’s why it’s so important to spend more time in the forest, especially in pine forests; it’s absolutely necessary to green everything around: the yard, the street, even the apartment. It turns out that our usual indoor plants, such as geranium and begonia, reduce the content of microflora in the air by 43%, cyperus - by 59, small-flowered chrysanthemum - by 66%. And we sometimes deny these plants a corner on the windowsill, replacing them with exotic wonders. True, among them there are fighters for healthy air. If you “settle” eucalyptus and myrtle in a room, and they can grow indoors, then you will no longer find flies, mosquitoes and, of course, many microbes there.
Pine is one of the most popular phytoncidal plants. When samples are taken from the soil surface and from a certain depth, from the air in various forests - an oak and birch grove, in a pine forest, there are a variety of microorganisms everywhere, but different numbers everywhere. There are 10 times more of them in the air of a birch forest than in a pine forest. Although the birch tree very conscientiously fulfills the duties of an environmental health worker: it mercilessly deals with microorganisms that the wind brings into the birch grove.
In plantations where warty birch grows at the base, there are only about 450 microbes in 1 m 3 of air. And in operating rooms, where everything, including the air, must be sterile, according to existing standards, the content of 500 non-pathogenic microorganisms in 1 m 3 of air is allowed.
The air of pine forests is clean, filled with the aroma of pine needles, and beneficial. It is not for nothing that many sanatoriums and hospitals are built in pine forests. Pine phytoncides, as a rule, increase the body's defenses: pine air, as it were, tones it. Children who have lived at least several years in an area rich in pine forests are less susceptible to colds.
Almost all species included in the pine genus have antimicrobial properties. Coniferous trees mercilessly deal with harmful microflora. Juniper is perhaps the champion among them. It emits about 6 times more phytoncides than other conifers, and 15 times more than deciduous trees. There are more than two dozen species of juniper in our country. Among them there are trees and shrubs. Now they all need protection to one degree or another. Juniper is very sensitive to air pollution from industrial waste: around many cities it practically disappears. And junipers grow slowly, in most species due to various violations no seed regeneration occurs.
Oak is an excellent forest health worker. These centuries-old trees stand as a barrier to various bacteria. Volatile oak phytoncides have a beneficial effect on patients with hypertension.
Maple not only has high phytoncidal activity, but also absorbs substances harmful to humans, such as benzene.
And this can be said about every tree, every blade of grass. A man gains vigor in the spring forest, on flowering meadow or in the steppe - wherever the air is filled with the aroma of volatile plant secretions.
Scientists come to the conclusion that volatile substances, penetrating through the lungs and skin into the human body, kill and inhibit the development of pathogenic microbes, protect it from infectious diseases, embalm its tissues, thereby preventing the onset of senile changes.
Urban landscaping specialists, when planting trees and shrubs on streets and parks, must take into account their phytoncidal abilities. Huge surface areas of leaves of many tree species have the ability to produce volatile phytoncides in immense quantities and release them into environment. Thus, they protect it from harmful microorganisms.
The value of green areas and intra-city plantings is enormous. Without trees, people simply would not be able to live in cities. And not because plants produce oxygen, which is carried by the wind over long distances, improving the composition of the air in cities and towns.
In the heat of the city, concrete and asphalt roads, walls and roofs of houses absorb large amounts of solar heat. In summer it becomes a huge heat accumulator. Moreover, there are streams of cars that fill the streets almost around the clock. Exhaust gases, dissolving in the air, give it an unpleasant odor. Factories, enterprises, and thermal power plants are smoking over the city. The opaque, thick atmosphere does not transmit the sun's ultraviolet rays well. Dry air and low ionization complete the bleak picture.
Having studied the properties of different trees, scientists not only adapted them to the conditions of urban life, but also forced them to change these conditions. Landscape specialists, skillfully selecting and placing trees of different species, have learned to change the internal climate of cities.
Measurements showed: the hotter the sun, the lower the temperature on the underside of the leaf. Evaporating moisture from the green surface of the leaves humidifies the air, and this creates coolness. It has been established that the air temperature in neighborhoods with green spaces is 7 - 10° lower than on city streets, squares or courtyards.
The humidity of the atmosphere also depends on trees. Evaporating wood surface 20 times more area which she occupies. One hectare of park evaporates 3 thousand tons of water per year.
Strips of green space only 10 m wide increase the relative humidity over distances of up to half a kilometer. When it is too humid, water vapor condenses on cool leaves.
Naturally, single trees in the city are not able to absorb all the carbon dioxide emitted by cars and factory chimneys. To prevent the air from stagnating, architects plan free, well-ventilated areas, streets, and avenues. For better air circulation, trees are planted further apart. Blown from all sides, they collect city dust well and clean the air from harmful gases.
Air dust levels in urban green spaces are 2-3 times less than in streets and squares. Even small areas planted with trees and shrubs reduce dust levels in urban air. summer time almost half. Poplar and bird cherry, i.e. trees with large sticky or rough leaves, capture dust well. Dust is easily blown off the glossy leaves.
By selecting trees with different crown heights and planting shade-tolerant plants under the canopy of light-loving ones, landscapers create plantings of forms that most completely purify polluted air. The most common trees on the streets are gas-resistant poplars, bird cherry trees, and chestnuts.
The role of trees and shrubs in the ability to reduce noise levels is very important. Even small squares and green lawns absorb street noise. It has been established that the dense, closed crowns of linden, elm, hawthorn, and spruce absorb up to 25% of the sound energy falling on them, and the remaining 75% reflect and dissipate. Greened driveways are 10 times quieter than empty avenues. Naturally, in winter, when the trees shed their leaves, the slightest street sounds can be heard more clearly. Only where there are pines and spruces, the noise is muffled.
And there is also the green barrier important quality- improve the air. Great value has a degree of ionization of air oxygen, which determines its biological activity.
The air of the mountains is considered the most healing. Breathing this air, saturated with negative ions, is like drinking fabulous living water. In mountainous Abkhazia, known for its long-livers, there are about 20 thousand negative ions in 1 cm 3 of air. In industrial cities, in crowded premises, their concentration ranges from 100 to 500. Outside the city, it is 2 to 3 times higher. It is generally accepted that 25 light negative ions in 1 cm 3 of air is the minimum limit.
And here the trees come to the aid of the city. Plant leaves, when exposed to sunlight of a certain wavelength, emit electrons that ionize the surrounding air. Electrons, like drops of water, flow from the tips of the leaves. A pattern has been established: narrower leaves are discharged into space with greater impact. Therefore, the best air ionizers are coniferous trees. The trimmed lawn is not inferior to them; it also has a lot of sharp leaves.
Ionized air has a beneficial effect on human well-being. Its medicinal properties are used for hypertension, atherosclerosis, bronchial asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, insomnia, fatigue and other cases.
Phytoncides normalize heart rate and blood pressure, actively participate in metabolism, and have a beneficial effect on the human psyche. People who live in forested areas are much less susceptible to upper respiratory tract diseases (flu, catarrh, tonsillitis, bronchitis) compared to city dwellers. This is largely due to the cleaner forest air, but undoubtedly also to the presence of beneficial volatile substances in it.
In today's age of growing technology, people spend more and more time indoors, depriving themselves of the healing air of forests and fields, which is saturated with biologically active plant substances and light negative ions. They are the ones who support natural conditions normal functioning of the body.
You can’t collect phytoncides and clean air in a healing basket, but by taking care of the greenery of our cities and villages, planting trees and shrubs around houses and along the streets, laying out lawns and flower beds, laying out gardens and parks in the suburbs, growing indoor flowers on the windowsill, we We join the ranks of our friends who give us health and good mood.
