Lexico-grammar focuses on the interdependence of
vocabulary and syntax, emphasizing that language
consists of chunks and collocations rather than isolated
words inserted into grammatical slots. Regarding the
usage of delexicalized verbs (do, make, take, have) and
their fixed collocations, mark T for true and F for false:
(__) The verb "make" is correctly collocated in expressions such as "make a decision", "make an effort", and "make progress", often implying creation or producing a result.
(__) The verb "do" is typically used with tasks, work, and general activities, forming correct collocations in "do a favor", "do business", and "do research".
(__) The expression "take a mistake" is a standard collocation in academic English, synonymous with "commit an error".
(__) The verb "have" is used to describe events or experiences, as seen in "have a look", "have a party", and "have a meeting".
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:
