strenuous Calvin's critics insisted that by their **strenuous** insistence upon the effects of Adams's transgression as compromising mankind at large, and Abraham's readiness to sacrifice his only son, Calvin and his fellow Reformers had interspersed the religion of Christ with such an amount of Judaism that their Christianity was in many respects a relapse into the bonds of the Law from which Christ had set us free.

Answer 227

bezsensowny; rozpustny; nieokiełznany The Protestant rabble took a lesson from their Hussite forbears by their **wanton** destruction of the sacred and their desecration of the dead.

Answer 228

Answer 230

pokonać kogoś Brook fought well, but Spence was superior in every department and scored a punishing 11th-round stoppage. “The Truth” has made five defenses since, added the WBC belt to his collection, and only a $275,000 Ferrari has **gotten the better of** him.

Answer 231

to instill He understood his desires were incompatible with the Catholic faith, so Cromwell dedicated his life and fortune to preventing Catholic restoration. He **instilled** these same beliefs in his family.

Answer 232

Answer 233

wznosić się; wspinać się For moviegoers who’ve been following the Romanian New Wave since it started **cresting** in the mid-aughts, Alexander Alexander Nanau’s documentary will play like a perfect nonfiction companion piece to the country’s bounty of fictional dramas and black, bleak comedies.

Answer 235

bełkot, banialuki, skomplikowany język Only when Mersenne cleared the intellectual rubbish the Reuchlin-Agrippa-Dee tradition had spread could science and mathematics emerge from the **mumbo-jumbo** Elizabeth and Cecil promoted as the antidote to Catholicism and Scholasticism.

wypadać (np. gdy wypada, żeby ktoś coś zrobił lub powiedział) But at the February 27, 2018, kick-off press conference for Canelo- Golovkin 2, Abel Sanchez (Gennady’s trainer) roiled the waters, saying, “I hope Canelo was able to see a transmission specialist for the rematch because in the first fight he was stuck in reverse. It **behooves** Canelo, with as much talking as he’s doing about his legacy and how he’s going to be remembered, to at least make it a fight.”

Answer 238

stand-alone Also, there’s the question of whether this is a **stand-alone** move for Canelo’s fights or DAZN will offer similar pay-per-view bundles for other fighters in the future. And will DAZN at some point charge regular subscribers extra for big fights the way ESPN+ charges subscribers extra for major UFC cards? DAZN might say now that this won’t happen. But this is the same network that, for two years, assured the public that “pay-per-view is dead.”

Answer 239

proporcjonalny; współmierny Fighters have been signed pursuant to poorly drawn contracts (e.g. DAZN failed to lock in a third fight between Canelo and Golovkin). And Matchroom has failed to deliver content **commensurate** with the license fees that it has paid to fighters.

Answer 240

na początku Golovkin looked flat **in the early going**. Or was it old? Either way, he didn’t fight the way the world is used to seeing him fight. A lot of that was due to Canelo. Looking back on their first encounter, Alvarez had realized that Golovkin was wary of his power.

Answer 241

Answer 242

zapiąć wszystko na ostatni guzik When the Council of Trent reconvened in January 1561, the English bishops weren't there, because Elizabeth would not allow the papal delegates announcing the council to set foot on English soil. But 113 other church fathers were, and when they finished their deliberations on December 4, 1563, the church **tied up over 17 years of loose ends**, providing successive church leaders with a blueprint that would be remarkably successful in reversing much of the damage wrought over the past half century.

Answer 243

a tough nut to crack Prof Martin says securing the supply chain is the “**hardest nut to crack**” because there is neither a globally-recognised set of software security standards, nor any form of enforcement if these are not met.

It behooves Canelo, with as much talking as he’s doing about his legacy and how he’s going to be remembered, to at least make it a fight.”

Answer 246

nałóg; wada Charles was 55 but seemed much older, worn down by his **vices** and by shadowboxing with forces out to destroy him but which he had difficulty identifying.

Answer 247

na własnej skórze, w dotkliwy sposób, na błędach (np. uczyć się, przekonać się) Mary learned **the hard way** that times had changed. It was no longer 1480, and England was not Spain. The enemies of the Church had grown much more sophisticated in psychological warfare.

Answer 248

spirited It was a **spirited** bout with most observers believing that Golovkin deserved the decision. Dave Moretti scored the contest 115–113 for Gennady. Don Trella scored it even. Adelaide Byrd turned in what might have been the worst scorecard ever in a major fight: 118–110 for Canelo.

Answer 249

to apprehend Suspicious of any secret society in her realm, especially one that withheld secrets from the world's most formidable police state, Elizabeth sent an armed force to break up its meeting and **apprehend** its members.

Answer 251

ulubieniec For now, NextEra, Enel SpA and Iberdrola SA are Wall Street **darlings**, after Spain’s Iberdrola and Italy’s Enel became global builders of green-energy projects, while NextEra became America’s largest generator of wind and solar power.

Answer 255

spisek In 1581 the Jesuit Edmund Campion was convicted in a trial that was rigged so blatantly that Cecil had to defend the government in a pamphlet. English historiography often speculates about when England ceased being Catholic. Belloc places the change at the time of the gunpowder **plot**.

Answer 256

wspaniały (o widoku), wzniosły (o stylu), doskonały After growing wealthy through the spice trust and usury, Miques rose to fame as spy minister to the **sublime** Porte in Constantinople, and after ruining Sulieman the Sot by leading the prince into all kinds of orgies and excesses, he terrorized Christian princes as the Sultan's chief negotiator.

Answer 257

back-to-back No, you wouldn’t have caught a peak version of Leonard chasing down a 42-year-old Pacquiao for a payday when there were bigger fish to fry. Sugar Ray would have taken on Crawford and Spence in a heartbeat and probably **back-to-back**, too.

Answer 258

kopać głębiej (sięgać po zasoby, których normalnie się nie używa) After nine rounds, Golovkin looked to be fading. Canelo’s power was influencing him more than his power was influencing Canelo. It was clear that Gennady needed another gear to win. And he **dug deep** to find it.

Answer 259

Answer 260

Answer 261

outdo This time the English bishops did not go along, and they were replaced by a motley assembly of political opportunists, who then replaced the loyal Catholic clergy with hacks, pothecaries, and dawbers who **outdid** the most venal of their medieval predecessors in seeing religion as an avenue for financial gain.

Answer 262

o tyle o ile; jeśli chodzi o But there are whispers that, if Fury-Joshua is held outside the United States or United Kingdom (for example, in the Middle East), Fury would be a free agent **insofar as** pay-per-view rights in America are concerned. Both Queensberry (Fury’s U.K. promoter) and Top Rank (his American promoter) have declined requests from The Ring that they clarify this issue.

Answer 266

rally But Cecil and his gang of looters, emboldened by the inactivity of Charles and Philip, pressed their advantage as the powers behind the throne. By his opportunism, Philip had allowed the emergence of a regime which would become the **rallying** point of the new Protestant world and plague him to the day of his death.

Answer 267

arm Iberdrola, Enel and NextEra have taken different paths to morph from humdrum utilities into green growth companies. Originally an Italian utility, Enel was actually later than some others to home in on wind and solar. Two years after forming its renewable development **arm**, Enel Green Power, the company sold about a third of it in 2010 to pay down corporate debt.

Answer 268

nieprzerwany (okres trwania czegoś), ciągły (np. sukces) One might also guess that long before the armada, most Englishmen had given up the thought of bringing back the pope. The 1570S, beginning with the defeat of the Turkish armada at Lepanto, brought an almost **unbroken** string of Catholic victories.

Answer 269

Answer 271

to have bigger fish to fry No, you wouldn’t have caught a peak version of Leonard chasing down a 42-year-old Pacquiao for a payday when there were **bigger fish to fry**. Sugar Ray would have taken on Crawford and Spence in a heartbeat and probably back-to-back, too.

Answer 272

phantom equity After considering **phantom equity** and long-term-performance cash bonuses, the company settled on an economic-profit-sharing program. Each year the compensation committee looked at profits, subtracted the cost of capital, and put 20% of the resulting amount into a profit-sharing pool for employees.

Answer 273

zachowywać coś, nie oddawać czegoś Cecil's anti-Catholic legislation made apparent the error of Charles and Philip's policy toward the magnates. Elizabeth was a tool of Cecil, who, along with the other magnates, was determined **to hold on to** the loot stolen from the Church. If Mary had immediately returned the monastery lands to their rightful owners, and if she had an heir, things might have turned out differently.

Answer 274

to front-load First it chose to **front-load** three years of awards and forgo future annual awards. Second the awards were delivered only if the firm hit certain share-price targets. Third the awards were based on a scale, and the targets and vesting schedules were set so that average performance resulted in minimal awards. However, under this plan executives would be rewarded for the risks they took because they could get more compensation sooner than they would have under a traditional approach.

Answer 275

wynikać z czegoś Now they **spring more from** internal cash-flow issues. Liquidity and employee health are just two of the areas we expect incentive plans to start tying metrics to. Indeed, the current environment offers an opportunity to revisit plans with an eye toward incorporating measures that serve stakeholder interests in a broader and more meaningful way.

Answer 276

to subdue Throughout the 1570S the Duke of Alba **subdued** one rebellious Dutch city after another. Alba's success in what is now Belgium forced the Dutch Calvinists to take refuge behind the maze of rivers and dikes in the northern provinces of Zeeland and Holland.
