After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.
Grace failed Mathematics last year but she has promised to turn over a new leaf this year. This means that this year Grace will
Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is that this year Grace will "work harder." This is because the phrase "turn over a new leaf" is an idiom that means to make a fresh start or change one's behavior or attitude for the better. It implies that Grace was not doing well in Mathematics last year, but she has resolved to do better this year by making a fresh start or changing her approach. The other options are not fitting in the context of the sentence. For example, "be more vigilant" and "cling to her books" are not related to the idiom and do not fit the context of the sentence. "Examine both sides of a leaf" is also not related to the idiom. So the sentence means that Grace will work harder this year to improve her Mathematics performance. Therefore, option B, "work harder," is the correct answer.

Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "ours." The word "ours" is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership or possession. In the sentence, "Mr. Jato is a regular visitor of ours," the speaker is implying that Mr. Jato is a regular visitor of the person/people speaking. The other options, "our own," "our's," and "ours'," are not grammatically correct. "Our own" is redundant since "our" already implies possession. "Our's" is an incorrect formation of the possessive pronoun "ours." "Ours'" is also incorrect since the apostrophe is used to show possession, but "ours" already indicates possession.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
That house across the road is................., isn't it?
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option to complete the sentence is "theirs" (option B). The sentence is asking if the house across the road belongs to someone. "Theirs" is a possessive pronoun that indicates that something belongs to a group of people previously mentioned or easily identifiable from the context, without the need to use "their" with a noun. In this case, since there is no specific group of people mentioned, we assume that the speaker is referring to the owners of the house across the road, which are easily identifiable. The other options are incorrect spellings or do not exist as proper English words.

The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "Jumai thinks she is always right but I am determined to catch her out" is that I am determined to prove that she can make a mistake. The phrase "catch her out" means to expose someone's mistake or deception, and the sentence suggests that Jumai believes she is always right, but I am determined to show that she can be wrong. Therefore, the correct interpretation is that I am determined to prove that she can make a mistake.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
I can vividly remember my predicament in my first year as a new teacher. On the first day in class, I told my students that they were mature enough to comport themselves in an exemplary manner without burdening them with stringent rules. I wanted them to like me and so I allowed them a lot of freedom. Unfortunately, I lost class control, and the students exploited the situation to disrespect me. Some would leave their seats without permission; freely throw objects like pens, rulers or crumpled pieces of paper to mates or talk with others.
During the long vacation, I busied myself reading books on discipline and consulting seasoned colleagues for help. When we resumed-school the next session, I had formulated strategies on maintaining discipline. There were laid-down, rules such as "students are to be courteous and silent when the teacher or a student is speaking to the class.' "Students are to ask for the teacher's permission to leave their seats for anything", "Students are not to leave the class during lessons."
After giving the class the rules that I knew were essential for class control, I made sure the students followed them to the letter. I virtually enforced discipline myself instead of sending students to the Principal's office for disciplinary action as I did the previous year. After about a month, I realized that my efforts were yielding results.
Then, two months before the Christmas holidays, I began to relax some of the rules. One of them read as follows; "Whenever any student wants to leave the class for any reason, he should come up for permission, provided he does this without disturbing other students." About one week later, I told the students that because they were not disruptive, they could whisper to one another, open or shut windows quietly without my permission.
Indeed, before the second term holidays, we had a classroom where students would come in and go on recess as they finished their class assignments and also where small group discussions on project work took place. Where a student in one group talked too loudly to disturb others, he was cautioned by the group, not me. Teaching then became a pleasure and I felt my students had matured greatly by learning to conduct themselves in a more acceptable way.
(a) Why did the writer not give his students rules initially?
(b) What was the outcome of the writer's desire for the students to like him?
(c) How did the students react to the writer's loss of class control?
(d) What did the writer do to change the unfortunate development in the class?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
There is a fierce war going on in Africa which has attracted little public attention, but is nonetheless a serious business for all concerned. It is a war of Man versus Baboon. The conflict started when engineers built the magnificent bridge which skirts Victoria Falls and crosses the Zambesi River. That, apparently, gave the baboons the opportunity they were looking for. They swarmed from the jungle across the bridge in such numbers that trains were held up by chattering families of baboons. They swung from the girders and barked defiance at everyone — driver, guard and passenger.
Recently, guests at the new tourist hotel at Victoria Falls have complained that trousers and other articles of clothing have been disappearing mysteriously at night. Socks, with suspenders attached, were found dangling from tree-tops in the nearby bush and it was realized that the baboons, not thieves, were the culprits from that time baboons became the declared enemy; Guests were entreated not to give them buns on the lawn at tea-time or encourage them in any other way.
A period of comparative peace followed, and then, a few weeks later, the baboons embarked on a hew campaign at the new international airport at Livingstone. At first they confined themselves to racing across the runways when planes were coming in to land, but when one of them was found asleep in the cockpit of a southbound airliner, it was felt that the time had come for a drastic action. Then the authorities installed electric flares embedded in concrete alongside the runways. Only once did the baboons demonstrate in full force against the glare of the lights, attacking with sticks, stones and fists; but the light stood up to the onslaught, and the attackers retreated.
The next stage in this strange conflict will be the erection of an electrified fence round the perimeter of the airport. Such shock tactics, it is expected, will result in the baboons conceding defeat and completely abandoning their guerrilla warfare. But grey-headed Matabeles who have dwelt all their lives in the Zambesi Valley shake their heads gloomily. They have a legend that if the baboons disappear from Victoria Falls the river will dry up, and "The smoke that Thunders" will thunder no more.
(a) What was the reaction of the baboons after the new bridge had been built?
(b) What incident caused those in control at the airport to deal seriously with the baboons?
(c) What did the airport authorities do to forestall further intrusion by the baboons?
(d) What does the writer suggest as the final solution to the baboon problem?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
The press is a general term for all types of printed newspapers and periodicals. It is an asset as well as a menace to society. Like many things in this world, it has its good and bad sides. Even though it has its bad sides, no society can shut it down and thrive.
The press has its aims and objectives which it follows, come what may. Anyone who wants to be abreast of current affairs or notable events in his society must resort to reading printed material, apart from watching the television. In fact, the press serves more people than the electronic media do. Newspapers and periodicals go where the television cannot. Printed material goes even to the remotest areas of a country.
Institutions of learning disseminate information. However, not all cities, towns and villages have these institutions, but the print media can be used to disseminate information to people in these areas.
Governments, institutions and organizations have their policies, programmes and activities for the smooth running of their affairs. At times, only those in authority reap the benefits. Subordinates are often afraid to criticize the authorities. Their best bet is to resort to the print media which become their mouthpiece. Thus. what the oppressed cannot do, the print media do without fear or favour.
The press is also at the beck and call of anybody who wants its services. Many a time one sees people going job-hunting. They roam the streets of cities and towns, go from one office to the other, move from one employing authority to another only to be told that vacancies do not exist. To be candid, they do not need to waste such time and energy seeking jobs. All they need to do is comb the advertisement columns of newspapers and periodicals and they will be informed about available jobs.
However, the press can be a nuisance in a society. How many times have we not found newspapers and periodicals publishing false and unauthenticated stories? Such stories spread like wild fire. They stir trouble and bring about disunity in societies. The publishers are often out to enrich themselves by churning out false information. For some newspapers and periodicals, reckless and dangerous gossip is their stock-in-trade.
No one can deny the fact that moral decadence has gripped our present world. It is true that even adults contribute to this menace in our societies. Many of our children and youths go for that which is morally low. However, the truth is that the press contributes, to a very large extent, to the loss of morality in our societies. There are publishers who specialize in the production of pornographic material which even our children and youths can afford to buy.
Publishers of newspapers therefore should constantly be conscious of their crucial roles in the society and should always strive to use the medium for the promotion of peace, orderliness, progress and prosperity and not for negative or destructive ends.
(a) In four sentences, one for each, state four positive roles of the press according to the writer.
(b) In two sentences, one for each, state two negative roles of the press.
