8. In chapter 16 the author uses the word “admission”. Explain the difference in the usage of the words “admission” and “admittance” by filling in the gaps with the suitable option:
It is often maintained that admittanceshould be used only to refer to achieving physical access to a place (He was denied admittance to the courtroom), and thatadmissionshould be used for the wider sense of achieving entry to a group or institution (her admission to the club; China's admission to the United Nations). There is no harm in observing this distinction, though it is often ignored. Butadmissionis much more common in the sense "a fee paid for the right of entry":The admission to the movie was five dollars; Admission: $10 for adults, $5 for children.
We then have admission feeoradmission free. Besides, the word admission is used to speak about a statement in which you admit that something is true or that you have done something wrong, e.g.The Senator's admission that he had lied to Congress shocked many Americans. Admittance on the other hand is related to official matters and is often used in a negative sense. You would see a sign that saysNo admittanceoutside a government research centre, in certain places at airports, which means in effectKeep out. It should also be noted that the word admission used in its plural form stands for the process of allowing people to enter a university, institution etc, or the number of people who can enter, e.g.The college has a very selective admissions policy.

In the American system, attorneys represent people, prepare cases and present and argue them in court.
Thus, in the UK the major role of the barrister is to conduct court appearances. While solicitors spend most of their time out of court. Solicitors are involved in the day-to-day legal affairs of their clients, primarily focused on tasks such as conveyancing of property transactions or providing legal services to businesses such as drafting contracts, the protection of intellectual property, the filing of defamation suits, advice on regulatory issues or any other type of legal service which their clients will need in order to assure their business processes.
