Would anyone mind answering my question?
Cn i use "the" plus a noun to give a general meaning? like the school mean schools in general, is this correct? i see the government and governments used that way.

new information is effectively absorbed. which is correct?
i see the government and governments used that way.
I don't think so. Can you give an example. Usually "the government" refers to the government of the country you're talking about. Similarly, "the school" is either your school, or the school you're talking about.
which is correct?
Either. I'd use the first one because "effectively" can also means "actively but not explicitly". "During the Edo period the Emperor was effectively a figurehead." But that's just the way I talk.
