Answer 1

Hint: The headline, also known as a title, is the text that describes the content of the article below it. The broad style front page headline did not become common until the late nineteenth century when increased media competition prompted the use of attention-getting headlines. It's also known as a news head.

Complete answer:
Newspaper headlines are always not complete sentences, but they are also understandable. Students may use their tacit knowledge of grammar to extend newspaper headlines into full sentences in this starter, and then analyze what they've done directly.

The following is what students should do:
- By using as few words as possible, transform each headline into a full sentence.
- By adding even more terms and phrases to the headline, you will turn it into a more coherent statement.
- Determine what kinds of words and phrases were left out of the headline and why they were left out.

We investigate the functions of various types of vocabulary. It's helpful to learn of the difference between substance and grammatical terms here. Content terms, such as crash, guilty, or block, have complete sense content that can be defined separately. Grammatical terms are notoriously difficult to define. They're words like a, of, or that are used to convey very broad grammatical concepts or relationships. Since grammatical words are often left out of headlines, you're likely to have used this kind of word in your brief expansions. You've probably added even more content terms to your longer expansions as well. When material terms are easily predictable from the context, they are often left out of headlines.

By keeping these points in mind, we can expand the given headlines as follows:
(a) Prime Minister will inaugurate the National games in Mumbai tomorrow at 11 am
(b) A business campaign has been launched in China.
(c) A scientist has discovered a new planet. It is yet to be researched more.
(d) Investigators have rescued 30 child workers in a dawn raid on four glass factories in Agra.
(e) Mobile phones have been banned in schools to let students focus on their studies majorly.
Note: A strong newspaper headline would be factually accurate, engage with everyday readers, use active terms to draw focus, and complement the article's language. When composing or extending a newspaper headline, accuracy is crucial.
