Detalles de la respuesta
The missing word in the passage is referring to the different groups of birds that form the base of the pyramid in the modern system of classifying birds. The word that fits best in the blank space is "species" (option A) as it refers to a particular category of animals that share similar characteristics and can interbreed with one another. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, and D could also refer to different groups of birds, but they are not as precise or specific as "species."

'' I .............the new principal, '' Obi
said
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option is "am looking forward to meeting." This is because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, and we use the present continuous tense to express actions that will happen in the future. Therefore, the phrase "am looking forward to meeting" implies that the speaker is anticipating a future meeting with the new principal. The other options are incorrect because they use the wrong verb tense or form.

Detalles de la respuesta
When someone speaks "with their tongue in their cheek," it means that they are saying something but not being serious, and that they are being sarcastic or humorous. So, in this case, the teacher was not being serious when he said that lazy Ade was the best pupil. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation is that the teacher did not mean what he said.
Pregunta 8 Informe
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
But for the night guard's vigilance, the factory.........burgled
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is option C, "would have been." The sentence is written in the past tense, and the "but" indicates that the night guard's vigilance had a significant impact on the outcome of the situation. The word "burgled" indicates that the factory was at risk of being broken into or stolen from. Option A, "would be," is in the present tense and doesn't match the tense of the sentence. Option B, "will be," is in the future tense and doesn't match the tense of the sentence. Option D, "will have been," is in the future perfect tense, which implies that the sentence is discussing a future event that will have already been completed by a certain point in the future. This doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence, which is discussing a past event. Therefore, option C, "would have been," is the most appropriate choice, indicating that the factory was at risk of being burgled, but the night guard's vigilance prevented that from happening.

Therefore, freedom of movement is a fundamental right that should be respected and protected by the government and its citizens.

Why should I retract my statement when it is nothing but the truth?
Detalles de la respuesta
The word that is nearest in meaning to "retract" is "withdraw." To retract a statement means to take it back or to withdraw it, usually because it is incorrect or has caused some problems. In this context, the speaker is asking why they should withdraw their statement when it is the truth. To illustrate: - "Alter" means to change or modify something. It does not convey the idea of taking something back or withdrawing it. - "Deny" means to refuse to acknowledge or accept something as true. It is not the same as retracting a statement. - "Condemn" means to express strong disapproval of something or someone. It does not relate to taking back a statement. Therefore, the correct answer is "withdraw."

Detalles de la respuesta
The sentence suggests that Uncle Joe was drunk the previous night but he is now not drunk anymore. The underlined word 'drunk' means that Uncle Joe was intoxicated with alcohol. The opposite of 'drunk' is 'sober', which means not affected by alcohol or clear-headed. Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is 'sober', which means the person is not drunk or intoxicated.

The day I won a visa lottery was the..........day of my life
Detalles de la respuesta
The best word to complete the sentence is "happiest". The sentence is talking about a very special day in someone's life, specifically the day they won a visa lottery. When something is the happiest day of someone's life, it means that it is the day they felt the most joy and excitement they have ever felt. The word "happiest" expresses this idea better than the other options. "Happy" and "very happy" are not strong enough to convey the intense emotions that winning a visa lottery can bring, while "happier" suggests that there have been other happy days, but this day is not just happy, it is the happiest.

The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "have you". This is because the sentence is a question asking if the person being addressed has seen the man before. The correct sentence structure for such a question requires an auxiliary verb to come before the subject, which is "you" in this case. "Have" is the correct auxiliary verb to use here in forming a present perfect tense question.

She claims..........a ghost last night
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option to complete the sentence is "to have seen." The verb "claims" is in the present tense, which means that the sentence requires a past participle form of a verb. The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "to have seen." In this sentence, the speaker is talking about an event that occurred in the past, and they are making a claim about it in the present. The phrase "to have seen" is used to indicate that the speaker is claiming to have seen a ghost in the past. The other options, "seeing," "to be seeing," and "having seen," are not appropriate because they do not convey the same meaning as "to have seen." "Seeing" is a present participle form of the verb, which is used to indicate an ongoing action. "To be seeing" is an infinitive phrase that does not convey a past action. "Having seen" is also a past participle form of the verb, but it implies that the action is complete and not ongoing.

.............at 5 0'clock every morning was one of the regulations he detested most at school
Detalles de la respuesta
The best option to complete the sentence is "waking up." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and requires a verb in the past tense. The verb "waking up" is in the present participle form, which can function as a verb in the past tense when combined with an auxiliary verb (e.g., "was waking up"). The other options are not in the correct tense or do not make grammatical sense in the context of the sentence.

While the first battalion halted its march at nightfall, the second ..........to the barracks
Detalles de la respuesta
The word "halted" implies that the first battalion stopped or paused their movement, while the phrase "at nightfall" suggests that it was getting dark. The opposite of "halted" would be to continue or carry on with the march. Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "halted" and correctly fills the gap is "proceeded".

The best option to fill the gap in question 82 is "fly". The sentence mentions that birds are instantly recognizable and perhaps this is because of their ability to do something.

Detalles de la respuesta
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "common" is "rare." Therefore, the correct answer is option C - "rare." In the context of the sentence, "common" means that something is happening or existing frequently or is usual. So, if roses are common in May, it means that it is typical for roses to be seen or blooming in May.

To summarize, the opposite of "common" is "rare," and in this sentence, it means that while roses are frequently seen in May, they are not typically seen in November.

The best option to complete the gap in question 85 is "beak" (option C). A beak is a hard, curved, pointed part of a bird's mouth that is used for biting, tearing, and crushing food. The sentence mentions the characteristics that a bird possesses, which include "a toothless" feature. Birds do not have teeth like mammals do, instead, they have a beak, which is a specialized structure adapted to their unique dietary needs. Therefore, "beak" is the most appropriate option to fill the gap in question 85. The other options - "mouth," "lip," and "gum" - are not as suitable because they do not accurately describe the physical feature of birds' mouths.

The correct answer is "talking." The verb "remember" is followed by the infinitive form of the verb, which is "to talk." However, the sentence is in the negative form, and the word "not" comes after "remember." Therefore, the correct form of the verb is the present participle, which is "talking." To illustrate: - "To be talking" is the present continuous form of the verb and is not correct in this sentence. - "Talking" is the correct present participle form of the verb. - "To have talking" is not a grammatically correct form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "talking."

The correct option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word is "endangered." The word "imperilled" means to be in danger, at risk, or threatened. In this sentence, the fishing boat was in danger due to high winds, which means it was "endangered." The other options, "pushed," "disturbed," and "blown" do not convey the meaning of being in danger or at risk.

The test was so difficult that.........students passed
Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "few". This is because the sentence is saying that the test was very difficult, so it can be inferred that not many students were able to pass it. "Few" means a small number, so it makes sense in this context. "Some few" and "a few" both imply that there were at least some students who passed, which contradicts the sentence. "Fewest" means the smallest number out of a group of three or more, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.

She was reprimanded by her boss for negligence
Detalles de la respuesta
The best word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word, "reprimanded," is "rebuked." This is because "reprimand" means to express disapproval or criticism of someone's behavior, while "rebuke" means to express sharp disapproval or criticism of someone's behavior. In the sentence, "She was reprimanded by her boss for negligence," it implies that her boss expressed disapproval or criticized her for being negligent. Therefore, the most suitable word from the options given is "rebuked."

"No sooner" is a correlative conjunction that is used to indicate that one event happens immediately after another. In this context, "had he arrived home" is the first event, and "it started to rain" is the second event. Therefore, the appropriate option to complete the sentence is "had he arrived home than".

Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "When I leave this country it will be for good" is that the speaker will never come back. The phrase "for good" is often used to indicate that something is permanent or lasting, without the possibility of being undone or reversed. In this context, it means that the speaker has no intention of returning to the country they are leaving. Option B, "leave for better conditions elsewhere," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because the speaker is specifically saying that they won't come back. Option C, "become an adventurer," doesn't fit the context of the sentence either because there is no indication that the speaker is leaving for an adventure. Option D, "improve my ways," is unrelated to the content of the sentence. Therefore, option A, "never come back," is the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence.

Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "All our plans fell through at the last moment" is that our plans failed. The phrase "fell through" is often used to indicate that something that was planned or expected to happen did not happen, or was cancelled at the last moment. In this context, it means that our plans did not come to fruition, despite our efforts. Option A, "were exposed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because there is no indication that anything was exposed or revealed. Option B, "delayed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence either because the sentence suggests that the plans didn't happen at all, rather than being delayed. Option C, "were abandoned," is close in meaning to "fell through," but doesn't accurately capture the sense of suddenness implied by the phrase "at the last moment." Therefore, option D, "failed," is the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence.

In question 83, the best option to complete the gap is "feature." The sentence is talking about what makes birds instantly recognizable, and the word "feature" fits perfectly in this context. A feature is a distinctive attribute or aspect of something that makes it recognizable or identifiable. Therefore, it is the most suitable word to describe what makes birds easily recognizable. The other options do not fit as well in this context. "Possession" is not appropriate because it implies ownership rather than a distinctive characteristic. "Mark" and "sign" could work, but they are not as specific or appropriate as "feature" in this context.

The correct answer is "switches off." The sentence is in the present tense, and the word "always" indicates a habitual action. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use is simple present. Out of the options given, "switches off" is the only simple present verb, while the other options use simple past or noun phrases, which are not suitable for this context. To illustrate: - "Switches off" is the third person singular form of the verb "switch off" in simple present tense. It indicates a habitual action that she always does before going to bed. Example: "She always switches off the television before going to bed." - "Off" is a preposition that indicates a position or location away from a place or object. It cannot function as a verb in this sentence. Example: "She always puts the remote control off the table before going to bed." - "Switched off" is the past simple form of the verb "switch off." It indicates an action that happened and was completed in the past. Example: "She switched off the television and went to bed." - "Switch off" is the base form of the verb, which is not suitable for this sentence since it does not indicate present tense or a habitual action. Example: "She needs to switch off the television before she goes to bed."

It was the headboy that took the book away............?
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option to complete the sentence is "wasn't it." The sentence is a statement, and it ends with an ellipsis, which implies that there is an unfinished thought. The most appropriate way to complete the sentence is to use a tag question, which is a question added to the end of a statement to confirm or clarify something. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that the headboy took the book away. The appropriate tag question to use is "wasn't it?" which is used to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener. The other options, "didn't he," "wasn't he," and "isn't it" are not appropriate because they do not match the tense or the subject of the main sentence. "Didn't he" would be used if the main sentence was in the negative form, "wasn't he" would be used if the sentence was a question, and "isn't it" would be used if the sentence was a statement expressing an opinion.

Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is option A, "adjourned." The sentence describes the end of a meeting, suggesting that a formal decision was made to bring the meeting to a close. The verb "adjourn" is often used to indicate the end of a meeting, with the implication that the meeting will reconvene at a later time. Option B, "dismissed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because it suggests that the meeting was abruptly ended, without any formal decision being made. Option C, "postponed," implies that the meeting was not completed and will continue at a later time, which is inconsistent with the sentence. Option D, "dissolved," suggests that the meeting was ended in a permanent or final way, which is also inconsistent with the sentence. Therefore, option A, "adjourned," is the most appropriate choice, indicating that the meeting was formally ended, with the intention of reconvening at a later time.

I know that song very well; we............it everyday when I was in primary school
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is "sang." The sentence is in the past tense, and the word "everyday" is also a clue that the action happened repeatedly in the past. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use is past simple. Out of the options given, "sang" is the only past simple verb, while the other options use present perfect or past perfect verb tenses, which are not suitable for this context. To illustrate: - "Sang" is the past simple form of the verb "sing" and it indicates an action that happened in the past, repeatedly or not. Example: "We sang that song every day when I was in primary school." - "Had sung" is the past perfect form of the verb "sing" and it indicates an action that was completed before another past event. Example: "We had sung that song many times before we performed it at the school concert." - "Have sung" is the present perfect form of the verb "sing" and it indicates an action that started in the past and continues up to the present, or whose effects are still felt in the present. Example: "I have sung that song many times, and it's still one of my favorites." - "Sing" is the base form of the verb, which is not suitable for this sentence since it does not indicate past tense.

The correct option to complete the sentence is "drop her," option A. When we use the phrasal verb "drop off," it means to let someone or something be at a particular place, usually by stopping a vehicle. In this sentence, the woman is asking the driver to drop her off at the school gate, which means she wants to be let out of the car at the school gate. Option B, "drop her down," doesn't make sense in this context because we don't use "drop down" after "drop" when talking about someone getting out of a car. Option C, "drop her out," doesn't make sense because it means to withdraw from something or to stop attending something. Option D, "drop her in," doesn't make sense in this context because it would mean the woman wants the driver to let her into the school, which is not what the sentence is asking for.

In the context of the sentence, the person is facing the possibility of being found guilty of amassing wealth illegally. Therefore, if he is found guilty, he may be required to give up his wealth as a penalty or punishment, which means he will forfeit it. The other options - "forgo," "abandon," and "repay" - do not accurately convey the idea of giving up something as a penalty for wrongdoing, so they are not as appropriate as "forfeit."

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question on it. .
You cannot expect to go through life without meeting problems. Difficulties, perplexities and frustrations are an inevitable part of human experience. Accepting this idea of the inevitability of problems will help you to approach them in a robust frame of mind rather than thinking that you are a victim specially singled out by a malignant fate.
When confronted with a problem, the first thing to do is to gather i all relevant data to get acquainted with all the facts of the case. Then write down exactly what the problem is, stating it simply in black and white. This gives you something definite with which to come to terms. The problem is, assessed and you will now have something concrete to deal with.
Next, give serious thought to the problem, making sure that such thought does not degenerate into worry as worry accomplishes nothing. Aim at clear, dispassionate thought, viewing the problem as if it were friend's and not your own. Look at it from all angles and from the view point. of all concerned. You court disaster if you are entirely selfish in your outlook. The single important purpose of all this is to discover all possible solutions to the problem.
Having examined the problem broadly and impartially, carefully examine all the possible solutions or courses of action. the knowledge that you have done this will keep you from useless regrets later, when you can remind yourself that all possible courses of action were examined and you chose what appeared to be the best. Next, eliminate all proposed solutions which are seen on further thought to be impracticable.
You will now find that your list has been whittled down to two or three possibilities. At this stage it is often a good plan to get out into the open air. go for a walk or a ride, preferably somewhere with wide horizons. There out in the open, review the problem afresh. You will find it appears much less formidable. Ask yourself how the difficulty will appear in ten years time, or even one! This fresh review enable you to make a final choice as you turn to the remaining solutions and. before you return home, decide which you are going to adopt. As you go to sleep that night, let your last thoughts be upon your decision. If, in the morning, you still feel it is the best one to take, go ahead.
If you have a friend you think is capable of giving sound advice, consult him. Do this before your final decision, so that you will have the benefit of his views before you decide. Talking things over with another is always a great help. It enables you to isolate the problem and to decide which are the important factors. Even if the friend offers no advice, a sympathetic word will help you, you will see them in a clearer light. Some will appear impossible even while you speak. Alternatively, one will appear most attractive.
In dealing with problems, remember the time factor. Although some problems solve themselves in time, and delaying tactics are therefore the best form of action for them, most other problems generally get more complicated the longer they are left. You should therefore get to grips with problems immediately they occur.
All told, reasonable foresight and imagination can prevent many problems ever arising. Tact, thoughtfulness and responsible conduct can also keep life largely problem-free.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
Dele groaned and got out of bed. There was no clock on the mantle-piece and the room was still dark, but he knew that he was already late for work, probably by up to an hour. He was a commercial bus driver and had to get started as early as 5.00 a.m. and go almost non-stop until about 9.00 p.m. to be able to make the daily returns that the bus owner demanded.
On the previous day, he had attended an all-night party - a late uncle's burial ceremony - where he had drunk himself almost senseless before crawling home on his face and hurried off to work, but not before carefully fastening on his upper left arm the amulet he had always worn for protection against accident. A similar amulet hung concealed under the steering column of his bus. On his way, still feeling groggy, he caught his left toe against a stump and had some misgiving. It was a bad sign, and he was supposed to go back home and then set out again. But there was no time for that now, so he hurried on. At the bus station, Dele quickly loaded his bus and sped off without any of the necessary checks on the vehicle. He had to make up for lost time. It was the rush hour, so the bus was overloaded as it often was, with many passengers hanging on to the doors. The tyres were threadbare, the brakes were faulty and the road was wet, but, still feeling a little sleepy, Dele sped on. Many passengers protested about his reckless driving, but he would not listen. After all, didn't he have protection against accident?
As the vehicle took the last turn before its destination, Dele saw a broken-down truck blocking his side of the road. Under normal circumstances, he could have brought the bus safely to a halt, but the circumstances were far from normal. The careening bus hit the parked vehicle, swerved wildly across the road and plunged into a ditch. Dele's surprise before he sank into oblivion was the failure of his supposed protective amulets.
(a) Why did Dele wake up late?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question on it.
The chalkboard is by far the commonest teaching aid used at virtually.all levels of education from the nursery to the university. It is the most enduring teaching aid and perhaps will be the most difficult to replace. In the advanced-countries of the world, it is being threatened by the overhead protector. However, the overhead projector requires constant supply of electricity which is one reason we cannot rely on it yet. The chalkboard used to be black, which why the name "blackboard" stuck for ages; but today, there are boards of various colours: blue, green, even white.
Now, most chalkboards are made of wood nailed to the wall, instead of the concrete board made of cement and f ine sand that was more common. some are also made of metal. The chalkboard has the advantages of low cost, availability and ease of maintenance, usually involving mere cleaning and occasional retouching of the surface with the renovator. However, if the board is metal, the felt marker should be protected against drying by replacing the cap When it is not in use. The major drawback in the use of the chalkboard is that the information on it can only be temporary. if there is only one board for the class, it is usually impossible to leave the information there for more than a few hours, since other teachers would want to use it.
It is not easy to draw complex diagrams showing minute details, such as part's of the body and contours, unless one is a good artist. Where one has succeeded with laborious illustrations, using different colours, it could be painful when the board has to be cleaned by the next teacher. However, there are nowadays various innovations, including foldable boards made of plywood, which allow teachers more room to leave their materials for longer periods.
Finally, it is a great disadvantage that during the course of teaching, more time is spent writing on the board than when one is using the overhead projector. So, in all, more time is needed for any lesson when one uses the board rather than the overhead projector.
(a) Why does the writer use the word chalkboard rather than blackboard most of the time?
(b) Mention two different types of chalkboard that have been in use.
(c) Mention two disadvantages of the chalkboard.
(d) Why should the cap of the felt pen be re placed when the pen is not in use?
(e) The major drawback in the use of the chalkboard (i) What grammatical name is given to the expression as it is used in the passage? (ii) What is its function?
(f) ...it is being threatened by the overhead projector... (i) What figure of speech is used in this expression? (ii) What does it mean?

There has been a continuous discussion on the evils of unemployment. Write a letter to the Commissioner for Labour highlighting at least three of these evils and ways of addressing them.
Dear Commissioner for Labour,
I am writing to bring to your attention the pressing issue of unemployment and the various negative effects it has on our society. The issue of unemployment is a major problem that requires urgent attention.
One of the main evils of unemployment is poverty. When people are unemployed, they are unable to generate income to meet their basic needs, which leads to poverty. This can cause severe mental and physical health issues, as well as societal problems such as crime and homelessness. It is important for the government to implement policies and programs that promote job creation and provide support for the unemployed.
Another negative impact of unemployment is a decrease in economic growth. When individuals are not employed, they are not able to contribute to the economy through purchasing goods and services. This, in turn, affects businesses, which can lead to economic decline. Therefore, it is crucial to develop programs that will enable businesses to grow and create more employment opportunities.
Lastly, unemployment can cause a lack of motivation and self-esteem in individuals. Without employment, people may feel as though they have no purpose or value. This can lead to depression and other mental health problems. It is important for the government to provide opportunities for individuals to gain skills and education, which will increase their chances of finding employment and improve their overall well-being.
In order to address these issues, I suggest that the government implement job creation programs, provide support for small businesses, and invest in education and skills development for the unemployed. These measures will help to alleviate the negative effects of unemployment and promote a healthier, more prosperous society.
Thank you for your attention to this pressing issue.
Sincerely,
