Question 1 Report
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
No matter how much a bully tries to intimidate you just....him
Answer Details
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. The phrase "stand up to" means to confront or resist someone or something that is threatening or challenging. Therefore, the sentence suggests that the speaker should confront the bully and resist their attempts to intimidate them. The other options are not the best fit for completing the sentence. "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..........of the NATO countries have been alerted about the possibility of an attack
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "commanders-in-chief" (option C). The sentence is discussing a group of people who have been alerted about a potential attack, and the word "commanders-in-chief" refers to the leaders or highest-ranking officials of a military organization or alliance. In this case, the NATO countries are likely working together to prepare for a potential attack, so the commanders-in-chief of those countries would be the ones responsible for overseeing those preparations. The other options are not correct because "commander-in-chiefs" (option A) is not a proper plural form of the phrase, "commander-in-chief" (option B) has a typo, and "commander -in-cheif" (option D) has a spelling error.

Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word, and that can correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "coerce."

Answer Details
The sentence is referring to Marvin Hagler, a boxer, and his upcoming event. The best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap is "defence". This is because the sentence is talking about Marvin preparing for the "defence" of his title, which means he is getting ready to fight to keep his title as a champion boxer. "Victor" refers to the winner of a competition, "attack" means to aggressively strike at someone, and "protection" means to keep something or someone safe from harm, none of which fit the context of the sentence.
Question 12 Report
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
Answer Details
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.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 84 is "continuously". The sentence talks about how the brain works, and it says that it works from second to second, 24 hours every day, without stopping. Therefore, the word that best fits in the gap should convey the idea of an unceasing, constant action, and "continuously" is the only word among the options that does so.

Answer Details
In the given sentence, "The brain controls the emotions, the -79-, and indeed all the functions of the body", the best option to fill the gap is "nerves". The sentence is describing the various functions of the brain and how it controls them. The word "nerves" here refers to the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves in the body. The nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions, including emotions, movements, and sensations. Therefore, option A, "cells", option B, "corpuscles", and option C, "intestines", are all incorrect because they do not relate to the nervous system.
Question 16 Report
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
Meet Ibrahim a special friend of .........
Answer Details
The correct option is "mine." The sentence is asking to introduce Ibrahim as a special friend of the speaker. The possessive pronoun "mine" is used to show that the speaker is claiming Ibrahim as their friend. "Me" is the objective pronoun and cannot be used to show possession. "I" is the subject pronoun and is not appropriate in this context. "My" is a possessive pronoun, but it is not appropriate in this context because it is not followed by a noun.

Answer Details

This is because the sentence is talking about how the newspaper was harping on Hagler's previous fights and predicted an easy victory for him over his opponent. "Predicted" means to say or estimate that something will happen in the future, and it makes the most sense in the context of the sentence. The other options don't fit as well - "prophesied" means to predict based on divine guidance, "imagined" means to form a mental image of something not present, and "expressed" means to convey a thought or feeling in words.

Adjoa is described as being attentive, which means she is diligent and focused on her responsibilities.

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.

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".

In this case, the action is "working," and the specific point in the future is "this time next year." The phrase "will have been working" indicates that the person will still be working at that point in time, and they will have been doing so for a total of ten years. The other options do not convey the same meaning and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "He has just been made the new Chief Executive so he will need sometime to learn the ropes" is that with time he will master the demands of his new office.

This is because the sentence talks about the column for serious-minded readers discussing "political transition, one of the -100- issues of the time."

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "tolerate". This is because the sentence implies that the speaker's parents are not comfortable with late night parties, and they do not allow or put up with such activities.

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.
