Hello. There's a few where I am not sure WHY my answers are correct but, for the sake of brevity, I'll just ask the one that I have most doubts about. "Times gets authorisations properly (2,6)"
With the letters I have the answer could be "by rights". But I don't see why. Can someone guide me (as usual) please

Hi Steven - hope you & yours are well?

You're correct - 'by' (times; multiply) + 'rights' (authorisations)
By(times) + rights(authorisations)
Times - by (as in 3 by 2 etc) Rights proper authorisations.
By = times (e.g. 4 by 4/ 4 times 4)
Rights = authorisations

Thank you all so much!
I really must learn that use of "by". It has beaten me before!
