“know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what (14) you know. For
example, it is not enough simply to read a book on (15) how to fly an airplane. A (16)
book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if only read a book and then
try to (17) fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill (18) yourself .
