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

Antwoorddetails

The correct word to complete the sentence is "die down". This is because "die down" means to become less intense, and it is often used to describe the reduction or disappearance of a noise or activity. In the context of the sentence, the recent police action is expected to have an impact on the incidence of crime, and it is expected that the crime rate will decrease or become less intense, which is similar to the meaning of "die down". The other options, "die away", "die off", and "die up", do not fit the context of the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning.

Antwoorddetails

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word, "relieve," is "aggravate." "Relieve" means to make something less severe or painful, while "aggravate" means to make something worse or more severe. Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is "aggravate."

He............not retort when I am speaking.

Antwoorddetails

The correct option for the sentence is B - dares. The sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is "he," which is a third-person singular pronoun. Therefore, we need a verb that agrees with the subject in number and tense. The present tense form of "dare" that agrees with the third-person singular subject "he" is "dares." Option A, "dare," is incorrect because it is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the subject in number and tense. Option C, "dared," is incorrect because it is in the past tense, and the sentence is in the present tense. Option D, "will dare," is incorrect because it implies a future action, and the sentence is in the present tense.

Antwoorddetails

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "industry" is "laziness". In the given sentence, the speaker is advocating for the need to reward "industry" to encourage productivity. Therefore, to fill the blank, we need a word that is the opposite of "industry", which is "laziness". Among the given options, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "reward" is "punish". However, the sentence requires a word that can be paired with "industry". The words "withhold" and "withdraw" do not fit the context as they are not typically used in conjunction with "industry". The word "oppose" is also not a suitable choice as it does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "punish".

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The workers.........payment of their leave allowance

Antwoorddetails

The correct option is "demanded", lettered C. To "demand" means to ask for something forcefully and assertively, often because it is seen as owed or deserved. In the context of the sentence, the workers are requesting for payment of their leave allowance in a forceful and assertive manner. Therefore, "demanded" is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank space. Option A "demanded for" is incorrect because "for" is unnecessary after "demanded" as it is already implied. Option B "demanded over" is incorrect because "over" suggests a disagreement or conflict, which is not stated in the sentence. Option D "demanding" is incorrect because it is in the present participle form and does not match with the past tense of the sentence.

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

"Having acquired" and "to have acquired" are both in the past tense, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

No matter how much a bully tries to intimidate you just....him

Antwoorddetails

The correct option to complete the sentence is "stand up to." The sentence implies that a bully is trying to intimidate the speaker, and the speaker needs to respond appropriately.

"Stand up before" does not convey the idea of confronting someone, while "stand up against" does not accurately capture the idea of resistance. "Stand up for" means to support or defend someone or something, which is not appropriate in the context of the sentence.

The correct option for the gap in question 82 is "versatility". The sentence says that "No modern computer has the ______ of the brain." The options are invincibility, versatility, strength, and responsibility. Invincibility means incapable of being defeated, so it is not the opposite of the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is versatility, which means the ability to adapt to many different functions or activities.

 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

      The black ant is indisputably one of the smallest visible insects on earth Except with aid of a very powerful microscope, it is difficult if not impossible to locate the eyes, the mouth the nostrils (if it ever has any) or any other part of the body. An air of mystery surrounds the existence of this little creature.

      Have you ever taken time off your programme to watch these ants move in row? What gives them the sense of direction, we do not know. Indeed whoever sends them on an errand and how they even know their destination and the type of errand to run we are yet to be told. But they are an extremely well-organized lot.

      Certainly, there are no defined routes for them on walls or trees, yet they move in an orderly manner. almost in a straight line. The beautiful thing about these insects  is that even when their line of movement is disorganized. they soon regroup and connect themselves again end to end. If in the process. one of them is killed. they quickly recognize that fact from their various positions. Then. one sees them running helter skelter  with a seeming insistence on getting at the comrade to confirm its death.

      When this has been done, some of them run zigzag at a tremendous  speed to alert the others on the route. Soon, they disappear completely. Later. as if everything were over and forgotten they reappear and form a new route and continue their movement transporting food or going on one errand or the other as before Bring your ears close to them and you hear nothing and you wonder what their means of communication could be. Perhaps, most surprising is their high sense of understanding the weather and the climate They are just like men in this area.  They know when it is the rainy season and when the dry season comes. In fact, it is true to say that they prepare better for the future than man.

      During the dry season. they file out to different places gathering food which they store underground. At the slightest sign of the approach of the rainy season. they all get into the hole and seal it up. Surprisingly. they re-emerge when the dry season sets in. And whoever tells them that the dry season has come we do not know. You can now see the sense in the injunction, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard. learn her ways and be wise."

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

      One of the puzzles to which I had no solution as a child was how my cousin could seal an envelope with his saliva. Each time he wrote a letter for my illiterate father, he merely ran his tongue over the inner edge of the flap of the envelope, folded it and then sealed it. Just like that! In my puzzlement, I tried the same trick repeatedly with two pieces of paper but my saliva failed to hold them together. I then theorized that my cousin's saliva must be gummy. If that was so, why wasn't mine? My studied search for a solution led to the very sound conclusion that my cousin's saliva was gummy because he was the only educated man in the family. By extension. I reasoned that all educated people had sticky saliva.

      But it didn't take me long to wonder why my cousin's lower jaw was not stuck to the upper jaw. Indeed. I wondered how morsels of food could roll down to his gullet without sticking to the tongue and the palate. Each time I was around when he ate, I watched him put one morsel after another into his mouth without experiencing any problem in getting it down.

      After many days, indeed weeks, of pondering over this thorny issue. I decided that while all educated men had sticky saliva, they had developed a special mechanism for neutralizing the stickiness when eating.

      My theory received a severe jolt one day when father had to get a letter written but my cousin was not around. Father sent to the next house for his niece. the nearest educated person around. After the lady had written the letter, father brought out an old envelope which had probably been lying forgotten for months on his cupboard. But, to my amazement, the flap would not stick well to the body of the envelope, no matter how many times she applied her saliva. In the end, father used some pap as gum. With this. my new puzzle was: "Why was the educated man's saliva sticky while the educated woman's saliva was not?" Before long, I decided that the woman's saliva was not so sticky because she was not as learned as the man. So, I updated my theory: the more learned a person was, the more gummy his saliva would be. Fine theory.

      The death knell sounded on my latest theory  one day when father sent me to buy an envelope from a nearby shop. Having bought it, I studied its flap closely and discovered that its inner edge had some glossy material. It felt sticky to my touch. Curious, I ran my tongue over it and I sealed the envelope. That was it! It got stuck, refusing to be parted no matter how much I tried. When I delivered it that way. father rightly guessed that I had tampered with it Although I received a spanking. I was consoled that at last, I had unravelled the mystery.

Read the following carefully and answer the questions on it.

      In all school systems of the world, some schools are considered 'better' than others. In fact, based on such a judgment parents often go to great lengths to have their children enrolled in one school rather than another. One yardstick for Furthermore, making this judgment is student achievement, especially general performance in public examinations. _ among some experts in education, opinions about schools are further narrowed down to subject areas. For example, one often hears that school A is better than B in Mathematics and Science while the latter is better than the former in English Language and the Liberal Arts. Whatever the focus of these comparative statements, there remains the fact that schools do vary in terms of average student achievement.

      Why is it then that some schools have high average student achievement while others have low average student achievement? The reasons are not far-fetched. The first reason is that some schools are located in privileged areas in the sense that the students come from homes where parents care about their children's education ensure that the children are well-fed, show interest in their school work and provide easy access to books in the home. On the other hand, there are schools which serve less privileged communities, and whose students come from homes where parents are unable to provide the necessary support services for good academic work. Students in the first type of school would generally have a higher rate of achievement than those in the second type.

      Another reason for the difference in academic achievement between schools is how well the schools are equipped. Schools that have good laboratories and libraries, ample space. places to sit and write for every student and optimum-sized classrooms usually record a higher standard of student achievement than those where the basic equipment is lacking or where the students are crammed into inadequate spaces.

      The quality of the teachers also has to do with the differences in student achievement between schools. A teacher that does not have a good grasp of his subject matter nor is committed to his job cannot produce an outstanding student. On the other hand students will generally attain a high standard where the teacher is an expert in his field, knows how to structure the material to be learned, demands a lot from his students and motivates them. Also, school management has been found to have a relationship with student achievement. Students perform better in schools where the leadership is enthusiastic and creative than in schools where the principals and teachers adopt a casual attitude to their job.

      Finally, discipline cannot be divorced from the learning process, and this is often seen from the perspective of general student behaviour. Where students show a disregard for the rules and regulations that guide good learning by disobeying their teachers, neglecting their homework or playing truant, they cannot make any reasonable academic progress. On the other hand, students who comport themselves well have laid a good foundation for academic success.

(a) In one sentence, summarize the yardsticks used to make a distinction between one school and another.

(b) In five sentences, one for each. summarize the factors responsible for the different levels of achievement in schools.
