Vraag 2 Verslag
In the following question, the main/primary stress is indicated by writing the syllable on which it occurs in capital letters.
From the words lettered A to D, choose the one that has the correct stress.
installation
Antwoorddetails
The correct stress for the word "installation" is "in-stal-LA-tion". In English, the stress pattern of a word can change its meaning or alter its grammatical function. In the case of "installation," the word is a noun, and the primary stress falls on the third syllable, which is "LA." Therefore, the correct pronunciation is in-stal-LA-tion. Option A, "IN-stal-la-tion," places the primary stress on the first syllable, which is incorrect. Option B, "in-STAL-la-tion," places the primary stress on the second syllable, which is also incorrect. Option D, "in-stal-la-TION," places the primary stress on the last syllable, which is not correct either. Therefore, option C, "in-stal-LA-tion," is the correct choice, and it accurately reflects the correct stress pattern for the word "installation."

Every one of the students _______ to be excited about the excursion.
Antwoorddetails
The best word to complete the sentence is "seems". The subject of the sentence is "every one of the students," which is a singular noun phrase. Therefore, the verb that follows it should also be singular to match in number. The correct form of the verb "seem" in the third-person singular present tense is "seems". The other options are not correct because: - "Was seeming" is incorrect because "was" is past tense and not suitable for the present sentence. - "Is seeming" is also not correct because "is" is present continuous tense, which suggests an ongoing action, and it doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - "Seem" is incorrect because it is not in the correct tense form for the subject. It is plural or infinitive, which is not appropriate for a singular subject.

Antwoorddetails
The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "After months of battling with stroke, he is now a shadow of his former self" is that he is now frail.

Antwoorddetails
The word "strict" has the same consonant sound as the letter "s" in the words "indict", "incite", and "inflict". This is because all four words begin with the same consonant sound, which is the "s" sound. The "s" sound is the same in each of these words, so they all have the same consonant sound as the word "strict". The word that has the same consonant sound as "strict" is "indict", "incite", and "inflict".
Vraag 21 Verslag
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 look forward to _________ from you.
Antwoorddetails
The correct option is "hearing." In this sentence, "look forward to" is a phrasal verb that means to anticipate or await something eagerly. The preposition "to" requires a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing) to follow it. Therefore, the correct option is "hearing," which is the gerund form of the verb "hear." Option A, "hear," is the base form of the verb, which does not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence. Option C, "be hearing," is the present continuous form of the verb, which is not appropriate in this context. Option D, "have heard," is the present perfect form of the verb, which is not appropriate in this context either.

Antwoorddetails
The correct option to complete the sentence is "which." In this sentence, "most of" is used to introduce a defining relative clause. The pronoun "which" is the appropriate word to use in such clauses to refer to things, not people. In this case, "lessons" is the thing that is being referred to. Therefore, the sentence should read: "My parents taught me a lot of lessons, most of which are difficult to forget."

Antwoorddetails
The sentence "She slogged her guts out for the examinations" means that she really worked very hard for the examinations.

Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is that she worked very hard for the examination.

That was a timely intervention.
Antwoorddetails
The underlined word "timely" means something that was done at the right or appropriate time, i.e., prompt. Therefore, the correct option is C, prompt. Explanation: In the sentence, the word "timely" is used to describe an intervention that happened at the right or appropriate time. The word "suitable" means something that is appropriate or fitting, but it does not necessarily connote the idea of time. The word "accurate" means something that is precise or exact, but it does not relate to time. The word "major" means something that is significant or important, but it is not related to time either. Hence, option C, prompt, is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in the given sentence.
Vraag 29 Verslag

Out of the options provided, the phrase that best completes the sentence is "off". The phrase "rounded off" means to bring to a conclusion or complete something in a satisfying or appropriate way.

The beans have not been properly ________
Antwoorddetails
The correct word to complete the sentence is "ground." "Ground" is the past participle form of the verb "grind," which means to crush or pulverize something into small particles. In this sentence, we need a past participle form to show that the beans have already undergone the process of grinding. "Grind" is the base form of the verb, "grinding" is the present participle form of the verb, and "grounded" is not a valid form of the verb "grind." Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "ground."
Vraag 33 Verslag

Antwoorddetails
The correct word or group of words is "Neither he nor I". The phrase "neither he nor I" is a subject pronoun and is used correctly in the sentence. The words "me nor him" are object pronouns and do not make grammatical sense as the subject of the sentence. The phrase "either I nor him" is also incorrect as "either...or" is used to present alternatives, but in this sentence there is no alternative being presented.
Vraag 37 Verslag
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

Antwoorddetails
The sentence is describing an event that happens at the end of something, and the event is the playing of the National Anthem on a radio station. Out of the options given, the word that best fits into the sentence is "transmission". This is because transmission refers to the process of sending or broadcasting signals over a distance through various mediums such as radio waves or satellite signals. In this sentence, the National Anthem is being played at the end of something, and it is being played on a radio station, which suggests that it is being transmitted through radio waves. Therefore, the word "transmission" best fits in this sentence. The word "programming" refers to the planning and scheduling of events or activities, and it does not fit well in this context. The word "production" refers to the creation or manufacture of goods, and it does not fit well in this context. The word "transition" refers to the process of changing from one state or condition to another, and it does not fit well in this context.

Antwoorddetails
The sentence "I admire Modou: very few people can stomach all of Adaeze's insults" means that Modou was able to tolerate or endure all of Adaeze's insults, which is the interpretation represented by option A. To simplify, the sentence is expressing admiration for Modou's ability to handle or withstand Adaeze's insults, which indicates that Modou is strong and has a high level of emotional resilience. The phrase "very few people can stomach" suggests that Adaeze's insults are severe and difficult to endure. Option B, "was a weakling", is not appropriate because the sentence expresses admiration for Modou, which contradicts the notion that he is weak. Option C, "had no answer to Adaeze's insults", and option D, "did the right thing by remaining silent", are not supported by the sentence and are not appropriate interpretations.

In the above passage, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the passage, four options are given. Choose the word that is the most suitable to fill number 77 in the passage.
Antwoorddetails
The missing word in number 77 should be a word that describes the abilities an entrepreneur needs to manage their business successfully. Out of the options given, the word that best fits in this context is "skills". This is because an entrepreneur needs various skills such as financial management, marketing, communication, and leadership to run a successful business. These skills are necessary to manage resources effectively, make sound decisions, and achieve business goals. The word "talents" refers to natural abilities or aptitudes, which may not necessarily be related to managing a business. The word "knack" refers to a natural skill or talent, but it does not fully capture the complexity and depth of skills needed to run a successful business. The word "foresight" refers to the ability to anticipate future events or outcomes, which is an important trait for an entrepreneur, but it does not fully encompass the range of skills needed to manage a business.

The correct option to fill in the gap is "weighty" as it means something that is important or of great significance. So, the sentence would be "Halima likes to dwell on trivial, rather than weighty matters."

We all know that Bola is insolent whereas Ade is ________
Antwoorddetails
The underlined word is "insolent", which means showing a rude and arrogant lack of respect. To choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning, we need to find a word that means showing respect and good manners. The word that fits this description from the options provided is "respectful". To check if it fits the sentence, we can substitute it for the gap: "We all know that Bola is insolent whereas Ade is respectful". This sentence makes sense and shows a clear contrast between the behavior of the two individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is "respectful". Note: "cowardly" means lacking courage, "humble" means having a modest opinion of oneself, and "modest" means not excessively showy or confident. These words do not fit the context of the sentence or provide an opposite meaning to "insolent".

The sentence is talking about the past, and the use of "early days in school" indicates a period that has already passed. Therefore, "would" is the best fit for the sentence because it suggests a habitual action in the past. For example, "During her early days in school, she would study for hours every day." This sentence means that studying for hours every day was a habit or repeated action during her early days in school.

My brother ______ in lagos for the past ten years.
Antwoorddetails
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "has been living." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which describes an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. "Has been living" is the present perfect continuous form of the verb "to live," which indicates a continuous action that started in the past and continues up to the present. Therefore, the sentence implies that the speaker's brother moved to Lagos ten years ago and has been living there ever since.

"Venom" refers to poisonous substances, which is not relevant to the sentence's context. "Bane" means a cause of great distress or annoyance, which is an appropriate word for the sentence because it means the root of the problem. "Disaster" refers to a sudden and widespread event that causes significant damage or loss of life, which is not appropriate for the context of the sentence. "Backbone" means the most substantial part of something, but it is not the appropriate word to complete the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "bane." It fits the sentence's context and means the root cause of a problem.
Vraag 79 Verslag

When deciding which word has the same vowel sound, you want to focus on the sound of the vowels, rather than their spelling. This means that even though the letters used to spell the vowels in "stew" and "blue" are different, they still have the same vowel sound.

The word that is the opposite of "inquisitiveness" is "indifference," which means a lack of interest or concern. The other options are not opposite in meaning to "inquisitiveness." Therefore, the correct answer is option A, "indifference." So, the completed sentence would be: "Binetou's inquisitiveness is in sharp contrast with her sister's indifference."
Vraag 83 Verslag
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 have made remarkable progress ______ learning French.
Antwoorddetails
The best option to complete the sentence is "in". "In" is the most appropriate preposition to use when referring to progress made in learning a language. It indicates the area or field in which the progress was made. So, saying "I have made remarkable progress in learning French" means that the speaker has made significant strides in the process of acquiring knowledge of the French language. On the other hand, "by" is often used to indicate the means or method by which something was achieved, for example, "I made remarkable progress by practicing every day". "At" can be used to describe a level of proficiency, for instance, "I am good at speaking French". Lastly, "for" would not fit in the context of progress in learning a language.

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 guess he holds _______ sensitive position in the company.
Antwoorddetails
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "some kind of." "Some kind of" is an idiomatic expression used to indicate that something exists, but it is not specified exactly what it is. In this sentence, "some kind of" suggests that the speaker believes that the person being referred to holds a sensitive position in the company, but the speaker is not sure what specific position it is. For example, "I guess he holds some kind of sensitive position in the company" means that the speaker believes that the person holds a sensitive position, but they do not know the exact nature of the position. The other options are incorrect because they do not use the correct idiomatic expression or do not make grammatical sense in the sentence. "Many kind of" is incorrect because "kind" is a countable noun, so it requires the plural form "kinds." "Many kinds of" would be correct if the sentence continued with a list of specific positions.

Sani ______ on a banana peel and fell down.
Antwoorddetails

So, the word "slipped" is the best choice to complete the sentence.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
The crowd was massive. Men, women, boys and girls from every nook and cranny of the village had gathered under the big iroko tree. Also in the crowd was an American couple, tourists, who were enjoying their holiday. At the centre of the large circle of people was the magician who had the reputation of performing unbelievable feats. Everybody was impressed with the feats which went along with the hilarious drumming.
Then came the next item. The magician's three aides each took out a local gun while the magician danced even wilder. The gun-totting aides took up position in three different corners. The drumming became more frenzied and the magician performed more acrobatics. The people were not to wonder for long what the guns had to do with the whole show. One after the other, the aides aimed at the magician while he steadied himself to receive the shots. Each gun boomed with a loud report and the magician jumped up in celebration of his survival. The three shots seemingly got to him but he simply laughed to scorn the shooters.
The American tourist was more than mystified. He could not explain it. How could a man receive bullet shots in his chest and still remain unscathed? In disbelief he shouted " This is amazing can't be explained But wait a minute. I II join the show myself." There and then, he went to his car took out his riffle and returned to the crowd "I'm gonna get this guy!" he proclaimed.
He took aim. The magician saw him out of the corner of his eye. He surveyed the scenario and decided that he was not prepared for this. Quickly, he showed a clean pair of heels. Tearing through the crowd he ran for dear life. Some thought this was still part of the show. but when the man would not return it was clear that he had bidden the audience a hasty farewell.
What the American and most others did not realise all the time was that the local guns had no bullets whatsoever only the gunpowder.
(a) What suggests that the show was free?
(b) What evidence is there that the performance was not a one-man show?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question on it.
Drug abuse is a menace in many countries The continued abuse of drugs usually leads to addiction. This problem is more common among youths The drugs that can be abused vary from prescribed medication to more controlled substances. Alcohol cigarette and controlled substances such as cocaine heroin, methamphetamine and so on are addictive drugs that are often used by many young people They can be smoked, swallowed, inhaled or injected into the bloodstream.
There are numerous adverse medical and psychological consequences associated with drug addiction Individuals have been known to suffer irreversible damage from the abuse of drugs. It can affect the central nervous system as well as cause memory loss, brain damage and depression.
Drug addicts may display psychotic behaviours, mood swings and may be predisposed to irascible decision making. They are also likely to suffer general health problems related to the lungs, heart and kidneys. In fact, the adverse behavioural and physical effects of drug addiction on the individual are enormous.
Apart from the problems for the individual the families of drug addicts are not spared Since addicts are usually incapable of functioning as 'normal' members of the society they abuse their families. They are prone to abusing spouses and children. There have been reports of children harming their parents because the latter did not give them money to buy drugs. Drugs addicts may eventually require expensive treatment and rehabilitation. These have huge cost implications that put a lot of pressure on the family budget. In addition their families face stigmatization in their communities.
The society at large also suffers. Drug addicts are more likely to be involved in criminal activities than people who are not. Many of the heinous crimes reported have been attributed to drug addiction. The abuse of alcohol is one of the reasons for the increasing number of road accidents. An increase in crime rate forces the government to commit huge resources to fighting crime resources that could have been used to provide more social amenities. Moreover, most criminal gangs are formed and thrive on money from drugs. Although the addicts have made the drug trade seemingly attractive and profitable no one should promote it.
Regardless of the apparently insurmountable nature of the problems associated with drug addiction some measures could be taken to curb this menace People need to be more educated on the effects of addiction on themselves and their families. Children must be taught in schools and at home the need to stay away from drugs. The law-enforcement agencies should also be better empowered and resourced to apprehend dealers in order to curtail the availability of drugs in circulation. Another step is to ensure that drug addicts receive early treatment. Such treatment should be based on the specific drug the individual is addicted to. While it may appear impossible to eliminate the problems of addiction, relentless efforts in taking the steps above will help to weaken the grip of drug abuse on our society
(a) In three sentences, one for each state three categories of people that are affected by drug addiction and what they suffer.
(b) In three sentences one for each, identify three ways to combat drug addiction in the society.

Write a story to illustrate the saying: A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who lived in a small village. Jack was a hunter and loved to spend his days in the forest, hunting for birds. One day, Jack was walking through the forest when he saw two birds fly by. He quickly aimed his bow and arrow and shot one bird. However, the other bird flew away into the bushes. Excited to have caught one bird, Jack started to walk back to the village with his catch. But as he was walking, he couldn't stop thinking about the bird that had flown away into the bushes. He thought to himself, "What if the bird in the bushes is bigger and more beautiful than the one I have in my hand? Maybe I should go back and try to catch it." So, Jack decided to go back into the bushes to search for the other bird. He spent hours searching, but he couldn't find it. Frustrated, Jack realized that the bird in his hand was worth more to him than two birds that he might have caught in the bushes. From that day on, Jack learned that it's better to be content with what you have, instead of always searching for something better. He also realized that the saying, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush," is very true. The end.
