Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Development"

A: “The changes that happened within the group” is most likely the meaning given the context :)

A: They are talking about person B and whether she/he has a new boyfriend or not.

A: have you found a boyfriend yet?
B: no, I haven’t found anyone I like yet.

So, development here means anything new.

In sight means B may have someone in mind.

Nothing meaning B does not have someone in mind.

A: "Due to" = "Because of"
"Rapid" = "Quick"

For example:
"This is happening due to our rapid cultural development."

This means:
"This is happening because of our quick cultural development."

"Cultural Development" refers to the planning and implementing of strategies to improve your community's cultural assets and values for the economic and cultural benefit of the community as a whole.

A: There is a bit of a pun here. Sprint in sports means running very fast over short distance. Sprint in software development is a short period of time over which you have to develop a set functionality. So the sentence starts by mentioning sprint as it relates to software development, but then changes to talking about a marathon, which is a sports term. In sports, sprint is something that is quick and requires speed and energy, and a marathon is something that is slow and requires endurance over long periods of time.

So, to analyze this sentence: you expect that you are in for a sprint, that is you start your developing expecting to put in a lot of energy into it and to complete it quickly. However, the nature of Java (a programming language) is such that it bogs you down = you feel like you're a bog (a swamp) and can't move fast. And once you are bogged down, you realize that your sprint has turned into a marathon -- that is, it's going to take a long time and require patience and endurance from you.

A: That quote is a play on words. Arrested development really means a stop (arrested means stopped) in physical growth/development (or it has also been used in the past as a stop in mental growth). But in this quote, as you may or may not know, Marilyn Monroe was a very voluptuous woman. So, she "developed" very well. So, because of her development (good body) somebody else might get into trouble with her and thereby get "arrested" by police. It's a joke. Shew! That was a long explanation.

A: The lack of vitamin C stunted her bone development.

A: Halted means stopped temporarily, but aborted means stopped completely.

A: the first one reads as "[cooperative] development skills", i.e. the [cooperative] skills one has to stay developing

whereas the second one reads as "[developing] cooperative skills", i.e. the skills needed to work in a team [that are still being developed]

information in [ ] doesn't specify the skills, it rather describes it somehow...

using "development" makes it part of a compound word with a specific meaning because it is originally a noun (not an adjective), while "developing" is merely describing the other compound word because it is an adjective.

- paper wings (wings made of paper)
- [papery] wings (wings that look like paper)

- [yellow] paper wings
- [papery] yellow wings

for me the latter (developing cooperative skills) sounds more natural because of the word other :) but they're talking about different types of skills anyways!

"Developments in technology" hints more towards the developments. The emphasis (focus) is on the developments.

A: development is the progress.
growth is the rate at which something is growing.

A: "Extensive" basically means large-scale, expansive, substantial, comprehensive, or thorough.

"Intensive" basically means a lot of work has been put in over a short period of time or lots of work has been concentrated on one specific task.

For example, producing a major blockbuster film with lots of characters, sets, locations etc. over a period of five years would be very a extensive project, but not necessarily intensive work. Creating a low-budget short film in one day would be very intensive work (a lot of hours put in working on the film over a short period), but the project wouldn't be very extensive.
