He was convicted....stealing some bags of cocoa.
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is "for". The preposition "for" is used to indicate the reason or cause of an action, and in this sentence, it explains why the person was convicted. The sentence means that the person was found guilty and punished for the crime of stealing some bags of cocoa. Option A ("with") could also be used to express that the person was found guilty of the crime, but it is usually used in cases where someone is caught in the act of committing a crime, for example, "He was caught with the stolen bags of cocoa." Option B ("in") could also be used to describe the location or circumstances of the crime, for example, "He was caught in the act of stealing the bags of cocoa." Option C ("of") is not a correct choice in this sentence because "of" is usually used to indicate possession, origin or material, and it doesn't fit with the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is "for" because it shows the reason or cause of the conviction.

The best option to complete the gap in the sentence is "salon". The sentence mentions that working women spend much of their income on beauty care, which includes buying a lot of something and visiting somewhere regularly. This implies that the gap should be filled with a noun that relates to beauty care, such as a place where women go to take care of their hair, nails, and skin. The option that best fits this description is "salon", which is a place where women can get various beauty treatments such as haircuts, manicures, pedicures, and facials. Option A, "saloon", typically refers to a place where alcoholic drinks are served, and is not related to beauty care. Option B, "shop", and Option C, "store", are both more general terms that can refer to a variety of retail establishments, and do not specifically relate to beauty care. Option E, "studio", can also be associated with beauty care, but it is less commonly used to describe a place where people go to receive beauty treatments. It is more commonly used to describe a place where artists or photographers work. Therefore, the best option to complete the gap in the sentence is "salon".

There were five boys.....
Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "two of whom were beaten". This option is the most grammatically correct because it uses the phrase "of whom" to refer back to the boys, and specifies that two of them were beaten. The other options either use incorrect grammar or incorrect pronouns. "Which two were beaten" is incorrect because "which" is used to refer to things, not people. "Whom two were beaten" is also incorrect because "whom" is an object pronoun, and the boys are the subject of the sentence. "Of whom two of them were beaten" is redundant because "of them" is unnecessary after "whom".

It is pretty difficult to choose...those three boys
Detalles de la respuesta
The sentence is asking for the best word to complete the sentence that follows. The sentence is asking for a word that shows the relationship between the speaker and the three boys. The options are "between," "over," "against," and "among." "Between" is used to describe a relationship involving two things. Since there are three boys, "between" is not the best option. "Over" is often used to indicate superiority or control. In this context, it is not clear who has control or superiority over the three boys, so "over" is not the best option. "Against" means "in opposition to" and is not the best option since it does not show any relationship between the speaker and the three boys. Therefore, "among" is the best option. It means "in the middle of" or "surrounded by" and is appropriate since the speaker is trying to choose from the group of three boys.

The question is asking to choose the best option to complete the gap in the sentence "If you have just bought a new car, it is advisable to undertake a ____ policy than a ____ for more risks are covered in the former than in the ____." The sentence is talking about insurance policies, and it suggests that a certain type of policy is better for a new car.

Option A, "comprehensive," fits this description and is a commonly used term in the insurance industry. The second gap refers to an alternative policy, and the only option that fits this description is "third-party." The third gap refers back to the former policy, and the best option to complete this gap is "latter," which means the second of two things that have been mentioned. Therefore, the answer is A, "comprehensive."

The best option to complete the gap is "third party" (Option C). The sentence talks about the different types of insurance policies, and how it is advisable to undertake a "comprehensive" policy when buying a new car.

On the other hand, a "third party" policy only covers damage or injury caused by you to other people and their property, but not your own. Therefore, the option "third party" is the most appropriate one to complete the gap because it is the opposite of "comprehensive," and it fits the context of the sentence.

The correct answer is "Much." This is because "much" is used to refer to an amount of something that cannot be counted, while the other options (majority, plenty, and many) all refer to a countable quantity. In the given sentence, the phrase "made no sense" implies that the speaker was unable to understand or make sense of what was said, which suggests that the problem lies not in the quantity of words spoken, but in the coherence or logic of the ideas expressed. Therefore, "much" would be the most appropriate word to use in this context.

A bureaucracy is a system of government in which there are many rules and regulations, and decisions are made by officials rather than elected representatives. In the context of the sentence, the word "bureaucracy" implies that there are too many bureaucratic procedures that are slowing down the implementation of policy decisions, causing the governor to frown. The other options, such as "autocracy", "opposition", "convention", and "insecurity", do not have the same meaning as "bureaucracy" and do not fit well in the context of the sentence.

Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "collapsed". The sentence is asking about a possible reason for a building's failure, and the word "collapsed" fits the context perfectly. When a building collapses, it means that the entire structure falls down, often due to weak structural foundation or other serious structural problems. The other options (tumbled, succumbed, caved, and somersaulted) are less appropriate because they do not accurately convey the specific idea of a building falling down due to structural issues. Tumbling, succumbing, caving, and somersaulting all suggest movement or change, but not necessarily the kind of catastrophic failure that would occur if a building collapsed.

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions on it.
A study conducted in Nigeria recently recognized three varieties of spoken English. Speakers of the first variety exhibit characteristics of a very long and difficult process of 'internal interpretation from the mother-tongue into English. Thinking and expression do not go closely together. A listener would notice this from the way the speaker pauses before expressing himself, apparently deciding which words to use and how to arrange them. Thus, thinking is exclusively through the medium of the mother-tongue and English is thus a poor shadow of the original thoughts of the speakers. Utterances heard invariably have to be translated silently into the mother-tongue to be maximally meaningful, and then responses are translated from the mother-tongue into English. Consequently, the long, indirect routes make statements slow, halting and jerky.
The second variety speakers exhibit features described above but to a much lesser degree. internal translations from the mother-tongue to English still take place during the speaker's expression of opinions and complex concepts but the process now takes a shorter span of time. With ordinary words or simple ideas, internal interpretations need not intervene between the points at which the thought is conceived and the time it is given verbal expression. Discussions are quicker and smoother though these might not always be entirely free from minor halting gaps.
With the third variety speakers, thought is almost entirely in English and translation is not needed. The speaker has a wealth of linguistic weapons to choose from to express the minute distinctions between similar concepts - and these come quickly and easily. Thus for instance, whereas speakers of the lower varieties have only the word 'rain', the speaker of variety III recognizes distinctions between 'shower', down-pour' drizzle'. 'mist'. 'deluge', etc.. and uses each in the appropriate context. Also, his mastery of the sounds and features of the English Language equips him to express the utterances accurately and automatically without having to pause and think of the correct version of a sound since he masters the various distinctions in the pronunciation of each vowel and each consonant.
We need to recognize, however, that most Nigerian learners of English 'graduate' from one variety to another, from the lowest stratum of variety Ito the highest stratum of that variety. and then to variety II and so on until they achieve variety III. Length of periods of education. exposure to standard English and a personal conscious effort play major roles in deciding what variety a particular speaker uses.
Finally, we must recognize that most speakers of the higher varieties are still capable of reverting to the lower ones, if they choose. Thus we can find even a Nigerian professor of phonology switching to the lowest stratum of variety I if he feels so inclined when discussing with a house-servant or a porter.
(a) In three sentences. one for each, summarize the distinctive characteristics of the speakers of the three varieties of English described in the passage.
(b) In two sentences, one for each, describe the conditions under which a person can:
(i) move from lower varieties to the upper ones: (ii) switch from a higher variety to a lower one.

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions on it.
When neighbours learnt that the Umorus household had been raided by robbers, they were genuinely downcast because the easy-going Umorus minded their own business and had contributed immensely to the development of the area. Visitors early that morning were shocked at the way the doors were vandalized before the robbers forced their way into the living-room to make away with the radio, the television, the wall clock, and the video cassette recorder.
As some sympathizers discussed the perfection with which modern robbers strike nowadays, a few of them drove to the police station and soon arrived with detectives. Quickly, statements were obtained from the couple and a few neighbours, all in an attempt to pin down suspects. From these statements. it was learnt that the bushes and uncom-pleted houses nearby had not been searched. The officer ordered his men to comb the bushes and the unfinished structures. While this lasted, he stood over the culvert near one of the buildings.
Thoroughly, from room to room, from tree to tree, the searchers toiled. But it was a fruitless exercise. The help rendered by neighbours did not yield clues. At last, the police boss concluded that the robbers were beyond their reach, and so called off their chase. He blew his whistle and ordered his men into the jeep. Reassuring Mr. Umoru that the search would continue, he instructed the driver to move.
All the while, in the culvert, their booty by their side, the two robbers snored on. Had a stray dog not given them away, later in the afternoon, they would have escaped with their booty.

Though Hitler is dead, many mysteries about him remain unravelled. especially the mystery of how he was able to rise to supreme power. The source of his strength, the nature of his ultimate beliefs, and the workings of his fatal weaknesses, all these would be debated for many years to come. No final assessment could be made at the time, nor can we reasonably expect to reach a final assessment in our generation. Hitler's verdict on himself was given in the testament he drew up the day before his suicide. It is an astonishing and revealing document. Having sacrificed millions of Germans to his own glory, he claimed that all his actions had proceeded out of love and loyalty to his people. With perfect detachment and single-mindedness, he claimed that he had shown the German people the way which destiny had pointed out to them, and it was not his fault that they had proved unworthy of the task. He urged the Germans to continue the struggle.
While he was dictating these words. the Russians had encircled Berlin and the Chancellery was being bombarded by Russian guns at close range. Hitler wrote that he chose to die by his own hand rather than submit to cowardly abdication or capitulation. But the most revealing paragraph of his testament referred to his possessions, which he bequeathed to the party, or if the party was no longer in existence to the state. 'Should the state too be destroyed, no further decision on my part is necessary'.
