wept

Bayanin Amsa

The word that has the same consonant sound as "wept" is "slapped." The consonant sound in "wept" is the "p" sound, which is pronounced as /p/. The consonant sound in "slapped" is also pronounced as /p/, making it the correct answer. "Castle," "apostle," and "passed" have different consonant sounds and do not match the sound of "wept." Therefore, the correct answer is "slapped."

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.

He isn't coming here,_________?

Bayanin Amsa

The sentence is a negative statement, so the best option to complete it is a question tag that affirms the negative. The only option that fulfills this requirement is "is he." Therefore, the correct answer is "is he." The complete sentence is: "He isn't coming here, is he?" The question tag "is he" affirms the negative statement "He isn't coming here" by turning it into a question.

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.

The ushers told the people to_________their shoes before they enter the hall.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "take off". The sentence is suggesting that the people need to remove their shoes before they enter the hall. The phrasal verb "take off" means to remove something, in this case, the shoes. The other options, "put off", "put out", and "take out", do not fit the context of the sentence. "Put off" means to postpone or delay, "put out" means to extinguish something, and "take out" means to remove something from a place.

Bayanin Amsa

A guest should not make derogatory remarks about what he is offered by his host but __________ statements.

Bayanin Amsa

The word "derogatory" means expressing a low opinion or critical of someone or something. Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning is "complimentary." So, the correct sentence would be: "A guest should not make derogatory remarks about what he is offered by his host but complimentary statements." To explain further, a "complimentary statement" is a positive or praising comment, while "derogatory" means negative or critical. Making a complimentary statement is a polite and respectful way to respond to your host's hospitality.

archive

Bayanin Amsa

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

The boy came through the window as stealthily as he could.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that is nearest in meaning to "stealthily" in the given sentence is "quietly." "Stealthily" means to move or act in a secretive and cautious manner, trying not to be seen or heard. In the context of the sentence, the boy is attempting to enter the room through the window without drawing attention to himself. The word "quietly" suggests that the boy is moving in a way that doesn't make any noise, which is consistent with the idea of being stealthy. The other options may not convey the same meaning or may not fit the context of the sentence as well. For instance, "carefully" could suggest being cautious but not necessarily trying to avoid making noise, while "quickly" and "slowly" refer to speed, which may not be relevant in this context.

Bayanin Amsa

In the following passage, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below the passage, four options are given in columns lettered A to D. Choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gaps in the passage. 

Hardly a day passes without news of terrible accidents on our roads. Most of the time, these are caused by the ignorance and -71- of drivers. Besides the ignorance of the drivers, most of the vehicles that ply our roads are not -72- vehicles are supposed to be tested annually before certificates are issued. However, vehicle Owners are issued with these certificates even when their vehicles have not been properly -73-. Most of the drivers do not have valid driver's -74 - There are driving schools with qualified -75- to prepare prospective drivers. After a period of training, the prospective drivers are made to go through a road test. It is only when they pass this test that they are -76- to drive. Some drivers never even had a learner's -77- when they were learning to drive. Consequently, they have no knowledge of -78- rules. They are ignorant of what speed -79- means. To them, 100 kilometres per hour may mean minimum speed allowed. Little wonder the -80- on our roads.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....77.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....77.....] is "permit." In the context of the passage, the missing word is referring to the fact that some drivers never had a learner's permit when they were learning to drive. A learner's permit is a document that permits an individual to learn how to drive with an experienced driver. Out of the given options, "permit" is the most appropriate word that fits the context of the sentence. "Clearance" and "authority" are not appropriate because they suggest permission to do something more general or official, whereas a learner's permit specifically allows someone to learn how to drive. "Order" is also not appropriate because it implies a directive or command, rather than permission to learn how to drive. Therefore, the correct answer is "permit."

card

Bayanin Amsa

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

When he received the news that he had lost the election, he did not bat an eyelid. This means that he

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "When he received the news that he had lost the election, he did not bat an eyelid" is that he showed no feelings. To "not bat an eyelid" means to not show any visible sign of surprise or emotion in response to something unexpected or shocking. Therefore, the person did not react or show any emotion upon hearing the news of his election loss. This suggests that he was either prepared for the possibility of losing or he was not emotionally invested in the outcome of the election.

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

Dr. Azeez declined the offer to chair the meeting.

Bayanin Amsa

In the sentence "Dr. Azeez declined the offer to chair the meeting," the underlined word "declined" means "refused". In other words, Dr. Azeez did not agree to or accept the offer to chair the meeting. Therefore, the correct option is "refused".

I told him not to play_______fire.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence "I told him not to play_______fire." is "with." In this sentence, the word "play" is a verb meaning to engage in an activity for enjoyment or recreation. The word "fire" is a noun, which refers to a flame or a source of heat. To say "I told him not to play with fire," means that I warned him not to engage in any activity that involves fire, such as playing with matches or fireworks, because it can be dangerous. The other words in the group do not fit in this context as well as "with."

To them, 100 kilometres per hour may mean minimum speed allowed. Little wonder the -80- on our roads.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....74.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate word to fill gap [....74.....] is "licence." A driver's licence is a document issued by the government that allows a person to legally operate a vehicle on the roads. It proves that the driver has passed the required tests and is qualified to drive. In the passage, it is stated that most drivers do not have a valid driver's licence, which contributes to the road accidents.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

There is a need to raise teachers' salary in order to boost their_______

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "morale." Morale refers to a person's confidence, enthusiasm, and overall emotional state, especially in a work or professional context. Raising teachers' salaries could help boost their morale by making them feel valued and appreciated for the important work they do.

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.

__________ are often quite caring.

Bayanin Amsa

The correct option is "mothers-in-law" because it is the plural form of "mother-in-law," which refers to the mother of one's spouse. The sentence suggests that people who hold this title (mothers-in-law) are often quite caring. The word "mothers-in-laws" (option C) is incorrect because it uses the plural form "laws" instead of "law." Meanwhile, "mother-in-law" (option A) and "mother-in-laws" (option B) are both singular forms, which do not agree with the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. Therefore, the plural form "mothers-in-law" (option D) is the most appropriate choice.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.

/boa/

Bayanin Amsa

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

Even a mediocre student can pass that test.

Bayanin Amsa

The underlined word "mediocre" means of average or moderate quality or ability. So, the word or group of words nearest in meaning to "mediocre" is "average." Therefore, the sentence means that a student with average ability can pass that test.

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

While the refuse dump smelled fetid, the orchard exuded a_______Smell.

Bayanin Amsa

The underlined word "fetid" means having a strong, unpleasant smell. To choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning, we need to look for a word that means having a pleasant or sweet smell. The word that fits this description is "fragrant." Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is "fragrant." To simplify it, the sentence contrasts the unpleasant smell of the refuse dump with the pleasant smell of the orchard. "Fetid" means unpleasant, so we need to choose a word that means pleasant or sweet. "Fragrant" is the best option as it means having a pleasant or sweet smell, which makes it the opposite of "fetid."

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

People do not often rely on men who allow their exalted position to go to their head. This means that people shun those who

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "People do not often rely on men who allow their exalted position to go to their head." is "are conceited because of their position." In this context, the phrase "go to their head" is an idiomatic expression that means to make someone feel overly confident or arrogant. If a man allows his exalted position to go to his head, it means that he has become conceited or arrogant because of his high status. The sentence says that people do not often rely on such men, which means that people do not trust or depend on men who are conceited because of their position. This does not necessarily mean that people shun those who are highly placed, rude because of their position, or do not do their work, only that they do not rely on men who are conceited because of their position.

choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

hall

Bayanin Amsa

The word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter "a" in "hall" is "shortage." All the other options have a different vowel sound. The sound in "hall" is pronounced like the "a" in "cat." The "a" in "shortage" is pronounced in the same way.

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.

He bought a new set of_________television.

Bayanin Amsa

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

The principal chastised Ben for his use of coarse language and advised him to emulate his sister's ________ behaviour.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "coarse" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence is "refined." The word "coarse" means rough or lacking in refinement or delicacy. In the context of the sentence, the principal is chastising Ben for using language that is rough or lacking in refinement and is advising him to emulate his sister's behavior, which is presumably more refined and elegant. The word "refined" means elegant or cultured, and it is the best option among the choices provided to describe the type of behavior that the principal wants Ben to emulate. The other options, "pure," "neat," and "organized," are not opposite in meaning to "coarse" and do not correctly fill the gap in the sentence. Therefore, the appropriate word that completes the sentence is "refined."

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.

We enjoyed ourselves________much at the party.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "very." The sentence means that the speaker had a lot of fun at the party and wants to express this in a simple and straightforward way. "Very" is a simple word that means "to a great extent" or "a lot," which fits the sentence perfectly.

In the following options lettered A to D, all the words except one have the same stress pattern. Identify the one with the different stress pattern.

Bayanin Amsa

The word with a different stress pattern from the others is "legal" (option D). In English, stress is the emphasis placed on certain syllables in a word. The stress pattern of a word can help to distinguish it from other words and to convey meaning. In the three words "undo," "ado," and "unless" (options A to C), the stress falls on the first syllable. Specifically, the stress is on the "un" in "undo," the "a" in "ado," and the "un" in "unless." However, in "legal" (option D), the stress falls on the second syllable, specifically on the "gal" in "legal." This stress pattern is different from the other options, making "legal" the word with a different stress pattern.

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

Mrs. Okpala gave the drunk a contemptuous look.

Bayanin Amsa

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.

A spoilt child is usually prone________laziness.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "to." In the context of the sentence, "prone to" means likely to or having a tendency towards. Therefore, a spoilt child is usually likely to laziness or has a tendency towards laziness. Out of the given options, "to" is the most appropriate word that fits the context of the sentence. "For" and "with" are not appropriate because they don't convey the same meaning as "prone to" in this context. "At" is also not appropriate because it doesn't convey the right meaning of likelihood or tendency. Therefore, the correct answer is "to."

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.

Let's begin all over again,_________

Bayanin Amsa

The best phrase to complete the sentence is "shall we." "Shall we" is a polite way of suggesting that two or more people start something again from the beginning. The speaker is using "shall we" to make a suggestion to the person they are speaking to, rather than giving an order or making a statement. The use of "shall we" implies that the speaker is open to the idea and would like the person they are speaking to to agree.

the word that receives the emphatic stress is written in capital letters. From the questions lettered A to D, choose the one to which the given sentence is the appropriate answer.

Comfort prepared a DELICIOUS meal.

Bayanin Amsa

The appropriate question to which the given sentence is the answer is: "Did Comfort prepare a delicious meal?" The sentence states that Comfort prepared a meal and the word "DELICIOUS" is emphasized to indicate that the meal was very enjoyable and tasted great. The other options do not match the information given in the sentence.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.

/ai/

Bayanin Amsa

The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /ai/ is "ice." The phonetic symbol /ai/ represents the diphthong sound made up of two vowels sounds /a/ and /i/. This sound can be heard in words such as "ice," where the vowel sound /a/ transitions into the vowel sound /i/. The word "ice" begins with the vowel sound /a/ and ends with the vowel sound /i/, making it the correct answer. The other options do not contain the diphthong sound /ai/. The word "rare" contains the vowel sound /eə/, the word "air" contains the vowel sound /ɛː/, and the word "fuel" contains the diphthong sound /juː/.

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

The game was tough but our team lost by a whisker. This means that our team lost by

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence is "a narrow margin." The phrase "by a whisker" is a common idiomatic expression that means "by a very small margin or amount." In this context, it means that our team lost by a very small amount or by a narrow margin. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is "a narrow margin." The other options are not the best fit for the sentence because they do not convey the meaning of "by a whisker." "Default" means to lose by not showing up or not meeting a requirement. "A wide margin" means to lose by a large amount. "Not preparing well" means that the team did not adequately prepare for the game. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is "a narrow margin."

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

It would have been my pleasure to accept your invitation but I have to ________ it because of a previous engagement.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "accept" and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "decline". "Decline" means to refuse or say no to an offer, while "accept" means to agree to take part in something. So, if you have to decline an invitation because of a previous engagement, it means that you cannot attend the event because you already have another commitment.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.

/k/

Bayanin Amsa

From the words lettered A to D, choose the one that has the correct stress.

calculation

Bayanin Amsa

choose the word that rhymes with the given word.

incite

Bayanin Amsa

The word that rhymes with "incite" is "excite". The two words have a similar ending sound, which is pronounced as "ite". "Inside" has a different vowel sound in the middle, while "disquiet" and "surmise" have different ending sounds. Therefore, "excite" is the only option that rhymes with "incite".

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

The old woman 's birthday was marked by her children with pomp. This means that the birthday was

Bayanin Amsa

The phrase "marked by her children with pomp" implies that the old woman's birthday was celebrated with grandeur and showiness. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is "greatly celebrated." To celebrate something with pomp means to do so with great ceremony and display. It often involves a lot of decorations, music, food, and speeches. Therefore, we can infer that the old woman's children made a big effort to make her birthday a memorable and special occasion. So, the sentence "The old woman's birthday was marked by her children with pomp" means that her birthday was greatly celebrated with a lot of fanfare and pageantry.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

The defeated boxer left the ring looking extremely_________

Bayanin Amsa

The correct option is "dejected" because it is the most appropriate word to describe the emotional state of a defeated boxer who has just left the ring. "Dejected" means feeling sad, disappointed, or low in spirits. It is a common word used to describe people who have lost or failed in some way, which makes it suitable for the context of the sentence. The word "dislocated" (option A) means something that has been moved out of its proper place or position, usually referring to a body part. It does not fit the context of the sentence. The word "distorted" (option B) means something that has been twisted or changed from its original shape, often in a negative way. While it could be used to describe the physical appearance of the boxer, it does not capture his emotional state. The word "desert" (option C) means to abandon or leave someone or something. It does not fit the context of the sentence since it does not describe the boxer's emotional state. Therefore, "dejected" (option D) is the best word that completes the sentence.

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.

That book is neither_________

Bayanin Amsa

The correct answer is "his nor yours." "Neither" is used to indicate that both options are not applicable. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that the book does not belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker. Option A, "his or yours," implies that the book could belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker. Option B, "his not yours," implies that the book belongs to the person being addressed, but not the speaker. Option D, "his own nor yours," implies that the book belongs to someone else entirely. Option C, "his nor yours," correctly indicates that the book does not belong to either the person being addressed or the speaker.

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

The audience applauded the last speaker, but the first was

Bayanin Amsa

The underlined word "last" suggests that the first speaker did not do well, so we need a word that means the opposite of "applauded" and also suggests disapproval or rejection. The best option that fulfills this requirement is "booed." Therefore, the correct answer is "booed." The complete sentence is: "The audience applauded the last speaker, but the first was booed." This sentence contrasts the positive response of the audience to the last speaker with the negative response of the audience to the first speaker. "Booed" means to express disapproval or disagreement by making loud sounds with your voice, usually at a public performance or speech.

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

When the man was accused of stealing the money, nobody raised an eyebrow. This means that nobody was

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "When the man was accused of stealing the money, nobody raised an eyebrow." is "surprised." In this context, the phrase "raised an eyebrow" is an idiomatic expression that means to show surprise or skepticism. If nobody raised an eyebrow when the man was accused of stealing the money, it means that nobody was surprised or showed any reaction to the accusation. This does not necessarily mean that people were pleased or interested in the situation, only that they did not show any signs of surprise.

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

The man has lost a lot and he only keeps up appearances by driving a big car. This means that the man

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "The man has lost a lot and he only keeps up appearances by driving a big car" is that the man pretends that all is well. This means that despite facing challenges and experiencing loss, the man tries to maintain a façade of success and prosperity by driving a big car, which he may not be able to afford or may not be practical for his current situation. This interpretation suggests that the man may be concerned with how others perceive him and wants to maintain a certain image or status.

the word that receives the emphatic stress is written in capital letters. From the questions lettered A to D, choose the one to which the given sentence is the appropriate answer.

The woman wants MY car.

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.

I realized that i________you before.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "had met." The sentence is in the past perfect tense, which means that it is referring to a past event that happened before another past event. The phrase "had met" is in the past perfect tense and indicates that the speaker had met the person before another past event occurred. Therefore, "had met" is the most appropriate option to complete the sentence. The other options, "met," "have met," and "meet," are not suitable for the sentence because they are not in the past perfect tense. "Met" is in the simple past tense, which means that it refers to a past event that happened at a specific time in the past but does not convey the meaning of having met before another past event. "Have met" is in the present perfect tense and refers to an action that began in the past and is still ongoing or relevant in the present, which is not appropriate for the context of the sentence. "Meet" is in the simple present tense and does not convey any past meaning. Therefore, "had met" is the most appropriate option to complete the sentence.

The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /u:/ is "grew" (option B). The symbol /u:/ represents the long "u" sound, which is pronounced as a close back rounded vowel. This sound is heard in the word "grew" but not in the other options. In option A, "work" contains the phonetic symbol /ɜː/ which represents a different sound, the "er" sound, as heard in words like "her" or "bird". In option C, "teeth" contains the phonetic symbol /i:/ which represents the "ee" sound. And in option D, "bull" contains the phonetic symbol /ʊ/ which represents a different sound, the "uh" sound as heard in "put" or "full". Therefore, "grew" is the correct option that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /u:/.

In the following passage, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below the passage, four options are given in columns lettered A to D. Choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gaps in the passage. 

Hardly a day passes without news of terrible accidents on our roads. Most of the time, these are caused by the ignorance and -71- of drivers. Besides the ignorance of the drivers, most of the vehicles that ply our roads are not -72- vehicles are supposed to be tested annually before certificates are issued. However, vehicle Owners are issued with these certificates even when their vehicles have not been properly -73-. Most of the drivers do not have valid driver's -74 - There are driving schools with qualified -75- to prepare prospective drivers. After a period of training, the prospective drivers are made to go through a road test. It is only when they pass this test that they are -76- to drive. Some drivers never even had a learner's -77- when they were learning to drive. Consequently, they have no knowledge of -78- rules. They are ignorant of what speed -79- means. To them, 100 kilometres per hour may mean minimum speed allowed. Little wonder the -80- on our roads.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....75.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....75.....] is "instructors". In the context of the passage, the missing word refers to the people who work at driving schools and train prospective drivers. The word "instructors" is the most appropriate choice because it directly relates to the task of teaching and guiding learners through the process of becoming licensed drivers. The other options, "trainers", "experts", and "teachers", could also be associated with driving instruction, but they are not as specific or commonly used in this context as "instructors".

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....79.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....79.....] above is "limit." The sentence talks about the ignorance of some drivers who have no knowledge of road rules, which means they are not aware of what speed limit means. Speed limit refers to the maximum legal speed at which a vehicle is allowed to travel on a particular road or highway. The other options - distance, control, and mileage - do not fit in the context of the sentence. Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, control refers to the power to influence or direct someone or something, and mileage refers to the number of miles traveled by a vehicle per unit of fuel consumed. Hence, the correct option to fill the gap is "limit."

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

John gave a fictitious account of the incident but his son's account was_______

Bayanin Amsa

The correct option that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "fictitious" and will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "factual." "Fictitious" means something that is not true or false, while "factual" means something that is based on facts or reality. In the given sentence, the first part states that John gave a false or imaginary account of the incident, so the second part of the sentence requires a word that is opposite in meaning to "fictitious" to describe his son's account. The son's account should be based on reality or facts and not be made up, so "factual" is the correct answer. Therefore, the completed sentence would read, "John gave a fictitious account of the incident but his son's account was factual." meaning the son's account was based on facts or reality.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....80.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....80.....] above is "carnage". The sentence before the gap talks about drivers who are ignorant of traffic rules and do not understand the meaning of speed limits. The sentence after the gap refers to the terrible accidents that occur frequently on the roads. Therefore, the word that would fit logically in the gap should be related to the consequences of reckless driving and the ignorance of traffic rules, which is "carnage". The word "carnage" means a mass slaughter of people or a severe and bloody loss of life, which accurately describes the terrible accidents that happen on the roads due to the ignorance of drivers.

choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

Womb

Bayanin Amsa

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.

We do not accept the punishment__________the boy.

Bayanin Amsa

The phrase that best completes the sentence "We do not accept the punishment__________the boy." is "meted out to." In this sentence, the verb "meted" means to distribute or impose a punishment. The preposition "out" is used to indicate the distribution of something, in this case the punishment. The preposition "to" is used to indicate the recipient of the punishment. Therefore, the phrase "meted out to" is the most appropriate to complete the sentence, as it correctly expresses the idea of distributing the punishment to the boy. The other phrases in the group do not fit in this context as well as "meted out to."

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.

The woman said the maid should________all the plates before going to bed.

Bayanin Amsa

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

If you ask him to sing, he will do it at the drop of a hat. This means that he will sing

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "If you ask him to sing, he will do it at the drop of a hat" is "immediately." The phrase "at the drop of a hat" is an idiom which means "without any hesitation or delay." Therefore, the sentence means that if you ask him to sing, he will do it immediately without any hesitation or delay. The other options are not the most appropriate interpretations of the sentence because they do not convey the sense of promptness or immediacy that the idiom "at the drop of a hat" implies.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....76.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The sentence describes a process of preparing and testing prospective drivers before they are allowed to drive. The word that best fits the gap in the sentence is "certified," as it indicates that the drivers have been officially approved and given permission to drive after passing the required tests. Therefore, the answer is option A: "certified."

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.

She wondered if the water vas not_________hot for drinking.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "too." The sentence is questioning whether the water is excessively hot for drinking. The word "too" means excessively or to an excessive extent, and it fits well in the context of the sentence. Therefore, the most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "too." The other options, "very," "so," and "much," do not fit as well in the context of the sentence. "Very" means to a high degree, but it is not the best fit in this case because it does not convey the excessive nature of the hotness of the water. "So" is a conjunction that connects ideas or clauses and is not suitable for use as an adverb to describe the degree of hotness of the water. "Much" means to a great extent, which is not the best fit in this case because it does not convey the excessive nature of the hotness of the water either.

choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

pint

Bayanin Amsa

The word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the underlined letters in "pint" is "late." The underlined letters in "pint" are "i" and "n," and they make the /ɪ/ vowel sound. The word "late" has the same /eɪ/ vowel sound as the word "pint," which is different from the vowel sounds in the other options. Therefore, the word "late" is the best option that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the underlined letters in "pint." The other options, "plait," "lisp," and "busy," have different vowel sounds and do not match the /ɪ/ sound represented by the underlined letters in "pint." "Plait" and "lisp" have the same vowel sound /aɪ/ as in "my" and "high," respectively. "Busy" has the same vowel sound /ʌ/ as in "cup" and "hut."

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

We called the carpenter to repair the broken door.

Bayanin Amsa

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

The boy was reluctant to carry out the order of his senior

Bayanin Amsa

In the sentence "The boy was reluctant to carry out the order of his senior," the underlined word "reluctant" means "unwilling". In other words, the boy was hesitant or not eager to follow the order of his senior. Therefore, the correct option is "unwilling".

In the following options lettered A to D, all the words except one have the same stress pattern. Identify the one with the different stress pattern.

Bayanin Amsa

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.

The police officer was sacked because he gave_________the command's secret.

Bayanin Amsa

The correct answer is "away". To give something away means to reveal or disclose it to someone else. In this case, the police officer is being accused of revealing the command's secret, which is a breach of his duty to keep the information confidential. Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "away".

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

The appellate court has ________ the decision of the lower court.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "nullified." To nullify means to make something legally void or invalid, which would be an appropriate action for an appellate court to take if it disagrees with the decision made by the lower court. Therefore, the appellate court has nullified the decision of the lower court means that the higher court has overruled the decision made by the lower court, rendering it legally invalid.

Bayanin Amsa

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.

The newspaper reported that________everybody died in the accident.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "almost." "Almost" means nearly, not quite, or just about, and is often used to describe a situation where something is very close to happening or being true. In this case, "almost everybody died" means that most people involved in the accident died, but there may have been some survivors. The other words presented, "hardly," "scarcely," and "barely," all imply that very few people survived the accident, which is not supported by the sentence. Therefore, "almost" is the best word to use in this context.

choose the word that rhymes with the given word.

receipt

Bayanin Amsa

The word that rhymes with "receipt" is "deceit." This means a dishonest act or a trick to deceive someone. The word "receipt" refers to a document proving that something, usually money, has been received, while "deceit" refers to an act of misleading or tricking someone.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....71.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....71.....] above is "carelessness," which means the correct option is B. In the context of the passage, the missing word refers to the reason behind the terrible accidents on our roads. The word "ignorance" which precedes the blank, refers to lack of knowledge or information. Therefore, the word that best fits the sentence is "carelessness," which means a lack of attention or consideration, leading to accidents. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Forgetfulness" refers to failing to remember something, "wickedness" refers to evil or immoral behavior, and "doubtfulness" refers to uncertainty or skepticism. Therefore, the most appropriate word for the sentence is "carelessness."

Only some of the accused were acquitted: the rest were________

Bayanin Amsa

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "acquitted" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence is "convicted". The sentence is talking about a group of accused individuals and suggests that some of them were found not guilty (acquitted), while the rest were found guilty of the charges against them. The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "acquitted" is "convicted". The other options, "remanded", "detained", and "interdicted", all have negative connotations and suggest some form of punishment or confinement, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

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.

The boy had been warned not to_________the money given to him.

Bayanin Amsa

The best word to complete the sentence is "lose." "Lose" means to no longer have something because it is gone, misplaced, or taken away. In this sentence, the boy has been warned not to misplace or lose the money given to him.

The librarian has not entered the new books in the__________

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "catalogue". A catalogue is a comprehensive list of items, usually books or other materials, that are available in a library or other collection. So, if the librarian has not entered the new books in the catalogue, it means that the new books are not yet listed or available for patrons to find and borrow. A roster is a list of names, typically of people or groups. It is not usually used to describe books in a library. A list is a general term for any group of items that have been enumerated. It could refer to anything, not just books in a library. A directory is a reference book that lists individuals or organizations alphabetically, typically with addresses and phone numbers. It is not usually used to describe books in a library.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

There is an election _________ pending against the senator.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "petition." Therefore, the correct option is C. A petition is a formal written request, signed by many people, asking an authority or organization to take a particular action or to address a particular issue. In this context, the sentence is indicating that a petition has been filed against the senator in preparation for an election. The other options are not the best fit for the sentence because they do not have the same meaning as "petition." An "application" is a formal request for something, like a job or admission to a school. An "appeal" is a request for a higher court to review a decision made by a lower court. A "complaint" is a statement of dissatisfaction or criticism about something. Therefore, the most appropriate word for the sentence is "petition."

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.

Power has not been restored_________many parts of the town.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "to." The sentence states that power has not been restored, and the preposition "to" is used to indicate a destination or a direction of an action. The sentence is saying that power has not been restored to many parts of the town, meaning that the power is still not available in those areas. Using "in" would indicate a location within something, "of" would indicate a relationship of belonging or association, and "with" would indicate a relationship of accompaniment or accompaniment. None of these options accurately convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....73.....] above

Bayanin Amsa

The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....73.....] above is "inspected." The passage is discussing the reasons for terrible accidents on roads and how drivers' ignorance, combined with other factors, contributes to these accidents. One of these factors is the state of the vehicles that ply our roads. The passage mentions that vehicles are supposed to be tested annually before certificates are issued, but many vehicles are issued certificates even when they have not been properly inspected. Therefore, it makes the most sense to use the word "inspected" in the gap to suggest that the vehicles are checked thoroughly for any faults or issues that could make them unsafe to drive on the roads. The other options, "scrutinised," "appraised," and "considered," do not fit as well in the context of the passage. "Scrutinised" means to examine or inspect something closely, which is similar to "inspected," but it is not the best fit in this case because the passage is specifically discussing the need for regular inspections of vehicles. "Appraised" means to assess the value of something, which is not relevant to the context of the passage. "Considered" means to think carefully about something, which does not fit well in the context of the sentence either.

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

My grandmother once told me that old habits die hard. This means that old habits are

Bayanin Amsa

The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "My grandmother once told me that old habits die hard" is that "old habits are difficult to change". The sentence is a common expression used to suggest that habits that people develop over time tend to be very strong and difficult to break, even if they are not healthy or beneficial. The word "die" implies that it is very hard to get rid of these habits or change them. The other options, "easily corrected", "short-lived", and "forever changing", are not appropriate interpretations of the sentence.

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.

Something must be wrong with the school driver, he is _________today.

Bayanin Amsa

The best phrase to complete the sentence is "driving rather carelessly." "Driving carelessly" means to operate a vehicle without taking proper care and caution, which can be dangerous. "Rather" is used here to indicate that the behavior is more pronounced or noticeable than usual. So the phrase "driving rather carelessly" means that the school driver is operating the vehicle in a particularly careless manner today.

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.

This is the teacher_______told me the answer.

Bayanin Amsa

The correct option to complete the sentence is "who I said." The word "who" is used to refer to a person or people, and it functions as the subject of the relative clause in this sentence. The verb "said" is then used to indicate the action performed by the teacher. Therefore, the complete sentence reads, "This is the teacher who I said told me the answer." meaning the teacher is the person the speaker referred to when they said "he told me the answer".

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.

Bayanin Amsa

The word "lazy" has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the letters "l-a-c-e". To understand this, you can listen to the pronunciation of each word and pay attention to the sounds made by the consonants.

choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

stuff

Bayanin Amsa

The word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the underlined letters in "stuff" is "tough". The vowel sound in "stuff" is pronounced as "uh" or /ʌ/ in phonetic transcription. This sound is similar to the vowel sound in "tough", which is also pronounced as "uh" or /ʌ/. To clarify further, the vowel sound in "tune" is pronounced as "oo" or /uː/, the vowel sound in "hoof" is pronounced as "oo" or /uː/ as well, and the vowel sound in "doff" is pronounced as "aw" or /ɒ/.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

Coming from the kitchen was the sweet ________ of Mummy's soup.

Bayanin Amsa

The word that best completes the sentence is "aroma". An aroma is a pleasant and distinctive smell that usually comes from food, flowers, or other substances. In this sentence, the word "sweet" implies that the smell is pleasant, and the fact that it's associated with Mummy's soup suggests that it's a cooking-related smell. The other words in the options can also refer to smells, but they don't necessarily connote a positive or desirable scent.

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.

Mary shouldn't have disobeyed the teacher,_________?

Bayanin Amsa

The best word to complete the sentence is "should she." The sentence is in the negative form, stating that Mary should not have disobeyed the teacher. When using negative sentences, we usually use tag questions to confirm or emphasize the negative statement. Tag questions are short questions added to the end of a sentence. The tag question for negative sentences is usually the opposite of the statement, so we use positive tag questions for negative statements. Therefore, the correct tag question for this sentence would be "should she," making the complete sentence "Mary shouldn't have disobeyed the teacher, should she?" The other options do not fit the context of the sentence, making "should she" the correct answer.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the one that has the correct stress.
