1) It's illicit to pirate computer games.
2) The damage caused by the gas explosion was negligible.
3) Our company needs a really industrial manager to reorganise it
4) The press will certainly censor last night's TV film because it contains some indecent scenes that are offending to the viewer.

Sorry Morenita, but for the last sentence, is it possible with censure too ?
For me censure is a noun and a verb. Is it correct or not ?

Thanks for the exercise

the two first answers are correct
but you made mistake in the last ones,i ll explain...
the correct answer in the third sentence is "industrious" which means hard working
"industrial" is sth related to industries
"censor" & "censure" are both verbs
censor: to prevent publication or remove parts from something(a newspaper,a film..)
censure:to critizice severely
so the correct answer in the fourth sentence is "censure"

No, 4) is censor. And in the sentence, offensive is better than offending.

censure:to critizice severely

The press will prevent publication because some scenes are indecent and offensive!

Wait ... maybe you're right. If last night's TV film has already been shown, nobody can censor it, can they?

So maybe the press will just criticize it severely. They will censure it.
