Contrastive distribution occurs when  two sounds placed in the same context produce different meanings.  This is the case in the sounds [k] and [x] . For example: <em>[kano] 'do' versus [xano] 'lose'. </em>

The same happens with the sounds [ç] and [c]. They are in constrastive distribution as in shown in the following example: <em>[çino] 'pour' versus [cino] 'move </em>

In complementary distribution, where one sound occurs the other cannot.  This is the case in  the sounds [k] and [c] The first sound  (palatal stop) appears before front vowels whereas the second sound (velar stop) appears elsewhere.

The sounds [ç] and [x] are also in complementary distribution. As in the previous example, the palatal appears before front vowels and the velar appears elsewhere

Trying new things on the job is one way of staying sharp
Semenov [28]

It certainly is. Routine at work can lead to monotony, when we constantly repeat already well-learned actions. Routine can make us somehow sure, but not too much. Security arising from routine over time becomes a cause of lack of motivation, and therefore a loss of sharpness. Sometimes we think it's better not to face new challenges, as this could lead to mistakes that can cost us at work. It is desirable to try new things, not only when it is ordered from higher instances, but also on our own initiative, because this promotes our creativity, we become more motivated, happier, and most importantly, more productive, which goes directly to our advantage. This makes us more mobile and, of course, sharper, which is much closer to human nature, which wants to explore. Let us make mistakes, but they are an integral part of our sharpness.

Seven-year-old Sangram is not allowed to touch the TV remote. Nevertheless, he uses the remote to change the volume from level 1
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

It was only 2 units up.

Explanation:

A small increase in the volume would no alert the father of Sangram who is one room away, because that change would only be noticeable for Sangram who is in the same room, but when he doubled the volume from 15 to 30, it was more obvious for his father, one room away, that Sangram was using the remote control and that he was changing the volume in the TV.
