Knowledge of type words

C. approximately /əˈprɑːksɪmətli/ (adv): approximately, approximately
D. approximated (Vpast): nearly identical (in quantity, quality, value, characteristics)
* Realize that the position to be filled is an adverb, because in front of the specific number “350 community” like that, it cannot be an adjective, because the adverb will modify the number 350. Although before it is a verb “tobe”, but adjectives only come before the noun when modifying that noun.
=> In 2002 in the UK there were around 350 community recycling initiatives linked to the Community Recycling Network.
* Structure to note:
– Be linked to sth: to be linked with
