Feedback on exercise C:

The speaker in the video clip uses the words in a certain way, but, as was mentioned earlier, there are also other ways of using them. According to the corpus, these expressions can be used in the following way: Intercept can be found from 'lecture small' and the search results indicate that this word refers to the point at which two items meet/cross each other. This word is quite common in mathematical jargon, as the samples you are able to find are from a ‘Statistics in social science lecture’. Detrimental (the speaker used detrimentally, the adverb, which, if typed in as the search word, does not produce any results) could be found from 'study group'. The only example you will find illustrates that detrimental means something that is harmful or negative to something else. Thus detrimentally means that something is behaving or influencing something else in a harmful or negative way. Scarce could be found from both 'lecture large' and 'seminar' and according to the corpus examples this word is used to express something that is or occurs rarely. One occurrence of scarce comes up in the 'lecture of medical anthropology'. The search for disproportionate produces seven examples all from the'seminar' event type. This expression is used to refer to something unequal in either concrete or abstract terms.
