Hi,
1. 番組でその会社のことを取り上げる。
In what sense is 取り上げる meant, and who or what is the likely subject of the verb?
2. これはみんなで協力して作り上げたものだ。
I believe this means, more or less, "If we all work together we should finish this".
Is ものだ used in a sense like "ought to" or "is expected to be the case", or does もの literally refer to これ (meaning "this is a thing that...")? How do you tell?
3. 町をあげて来訪者を心から歓迎した。
Translation given: "The whole town accorded a hearty welcome to the visitor."
Does 町をあげて means "entering the town"?
4. 七つの段落を大きく三つに分けるとしたら、どこで分け られますか。
My translation: "If you were to divide the seven paragraphs broadly into three parts, where would you divide them?"
Is 分けられます potential form of 分ける?
