Explanation
The given answer "Used to be done that way" suggests that something was done in a particular manner in the past, but it is no longer done that way. It implies that there has been a change in the way something is done over time. The word "used to" indicates a past practice or habit that is no longer followed. Therefore, the answer implies that there has been a shift or alteration in the way something was previously done.

Explanation
The word "demonstrator" refers to someone who performs or shows how something is done. This aligns with the definition given in the options, "One who does something." The other options, "Without" and "Able to do something," do not accurately describe the meaning of "demonstrator." Therefore, the correct answer is "One who does something."

Correct Answer
D. Far or distant

Explanation
The word "telephatic" is not a recognized English word. However, if we assume that it is a misspelling of "telepathic," then the answer "Far or distant" could be a possible explanation. Telepathy is often associated with the ability to communicate or perceive thoughts from a distance, without the need for physical proximity. Therefore, "far or distant" could be a plausible interpretation of the given word.
