Question 1 Report
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 claims..........a ghost last night
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "to have seen." The verb "claims" is in the present tense, which means that the sentence requires a past participle form of a verb. The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "to have seen." In this sentence, the speaker is talking about an event that occurred in the past, and they are making a claim about it in the present. The phrase "to have seen" is used to indicate that the speaker is claiming to have seen a ghost in the past. The other options, "seeing," "to be seeing," and "having seen," are not appropriate because they do not convey the same meaning as "to have seen." "Seeing" is a present participle form of the verb, which is used to indicate an ongoing action. "To be seeing" is an infinitive phrase that does not convey a past action. "Having seen" is also a past participle form of the verb, but it implies that the action is complete and not ongoing.
Question 2 Report
After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.
When I leave this country it will be for good. This means that i will
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "When I leave this country it will be for good" is that the speaker will never come back. The phrase "for good" is often used to indicate that something is permanent or lasting, without the possibility of being undone or reversed. In this context, it means that the speaker has no intention of returning to the country they are leaving. Option B, "leave for better conditions elsewhere," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because the speaker is specifically saying that they won't come back. Option C, "become an adventurer," doesn't fit the context of the sentence either because there is no indication that the speaker is leaving for an adventure. Option D, "improve my ways," is unrelated to the content of the sentence. Therefore, option A, "never come back," is the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence.
Question 3 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the below each passage, four options are offered in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passages.
Birds are instantly recognizable -81- perhaps because of their ability to -82-. Some people might consider their shape the most distinguishing -83-. Everyone, however, agrees on the characteristics that a bird possesses: two -84-, feathers two legs, a toothless -85-, warm blood, and the ability to -86- eggs. The modern system of -87- birds is like a pyramid, with the base formed by 8,514 different -88-. A convenient -89- of this system recognizes a group of birds which does not normally -90- with other groups.
One of the most precious gifts human kind has been given is the power to -91-. With it, we pass vital -92- to one another either -93- or by non-vocal methods, such as -94-. Freedom of -95- is in fact, a widely contested issue throughout the world some have therefore, assumed that communication is the -96- of only humans.
yet, research shows that animals -97- information in intricate ways that often baffle humans. Yes, they ''speak'', not with words, but through visual signals such as -98- tails, twitching ears, or -99- wings. Other forms of animal communication may involve the use of voice, such as a bark, a roar, a snari, or -100-. Some of the '' languages'' are obvious to humans, while others require much scientific study to detect.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap in question 93 is "verbally". This is because the sentence talks about passing vital information to one another, which implies some form of communication through words or speech. Therefore, the word "verbally" which means communicating through words or speech is the most suitable option to fill the gap.
Question 4 Report
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.
Scarcely had I opened the door...........the dog came running in
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "when". This is because "when" is used to refer to a point in time after which something else happens. In this case, the sentence suggests that the person had just opened the door and immediately the dog came running in, indicating that the two events happened in quick succession. Therefore, "when" is the most appropriate word to use in this context.
Question 5 Report
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.
But for the night guard's vigilance, the factory.........burgled
Answer Details
The correct answer is option C, "would have been." The sentence is written in the past tense, and the "but" indicates that the night guard's vigilance had a significant impact on the outcome of the situation. The word "burgled" indicates that the factory was at risk of being broken into or stolen from. Option A, "would be," is in the present tense and doesn't match the tense of the sentence. Option B, "will be," is in the future tense and doesn't match the tense of the sentence. Option D, "will have been," is in the future perfect tense, which implies that the sentence is discussing a future event that will have already been completed by a certain point in the future. This doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence, which is discussing a past event. Therefore, option C, "would have been," is the most appropriate choice, indicating that the factory was at risk of being burgled, but the night guard's vigilance prevented that from happening.
Question 6 Report
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.
Ebiere invited.............to her birthday party
Answer Details
The correct option is "Bola and me". In English grammar, when using a pronoun as an object of a verb or preposition, "me" is used instead of "I". Therefore, "Bola and me" is the correct option for completing the sentence.

Question 8 Report
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.
Joel is one of those fanatical sports fans......... about nothing else
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "who talks." This is because the sentence is written in the present tense, so the verb should also be in the present tense. The verb "talks" is in the present tense, and it agrees with the subject "Joel." The other options are not in the present tense and do not agree with the subject, making them incorrect.
Question 9 Report
From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word.
The doctor diagnosed the turmour as malignant
Answer Details
The word nearest in meaning to "malignant" is "deadly" which means likely to cause death. In the context of the sentence, malignant describes the tumor as being cancerous and therefore dangerous, which makes "deadly" the most appropriate option.
Question 10 Report
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 saw him again........last week
Answer Details
The correct answer is "some time". This means that the speaker saw the person again at an unspecified time in the past. "Sometimes" means occasionally, "one time" means only once, and "sometime" refers to an unspecified time in the future.
Question 11 Report
From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word.

If you....... early, you will get there before nightfall.
Answer Details

Last night, Uncle Joe was blind drunk but this morning he is as.......as a judge
Answer Details
The sentence suggests that Uncle Joe was drunk the previous night but he is now not drunk anymore. The underlined word 'drunk' means that Uncle Joe was intoxicated with alcohol. The opposite of 'drunk' is 'sober', which means not affected by alcohol or clear-headed. Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is 'sober', which means the person is not drunk or intoxicated. The sentence means Uncle Joe is now completely clear-headed, just like a judge who is expected to be sound and clear in his judgments.
Question 15 Report
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.

Answer Details
The missing word in question 92 is related to the passing of something from one person to another. The best option that fits this context is "information" (option D), which refers to knowledge or facts passed from one person to another. The passage talks about the power of communication and how it is used to pass vital information to one another. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Question 17 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
Roses are common in May but.............in November
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "common" is "rare." Therefore, the correct answer is option C - "rare." In the context of the sentence, "common" means that something is happening or existing frequently or is usual. So, if roses are common in May, it means that it is typical for roses to be seen or blooming in May. On the other hand, if roses are rare in November, it means that it is not typical or usual for roses to be seen or blooming in November. To summarize, the opposite of "common" is "rare," and in this sentence, it means that while roses are frequently seen in May, they are not typically seen in November.

Some of the '' languages'' are obvious to humans, while others require much scientific study to detect.
Answer Details
The most suitable option to fill the gap numbered 91 is "communicate" (option A). The sentence refers to the power of passing vital information to one another, either vocally or non-vocally. The word "communicate" means to convey or exchange information, ideas, or emotions, and it fits perfectly in the context. The other options, "inform," "tell," and "say," also have a similar meaning, but they do not encompass the broader scope of passing information through different methods, as "communicate" does.
Question 19 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
Instead of .........the issue, the speaker digressed to unimportant matters.
Answer Details
The word "digressed" means to move away from the main topic or subject being discussed. So, to fill the gap in the sentence, we need to choose a word that is the opposite of "digressed." The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "digressed" is "addressing." Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is D: addressing. The sentence would then read: "Instead of addressing the issue, the speaker digressed to unimportant matters."

Answer Details
The missing word in the sentence is referring to a group of birds that does not normally interact with other groups. The most suitable option to fill the gap would be "mate". This is because birds tend to mate within their own species or group, and therefore, do not usually interact with other groups. Option B, "mate", makes the most sense in the given context.
Question 23 Report
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 told me that she always...........the television before going to bed.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "switches off." The sentence is in the present tense, and the word "always" indicates a habitual action. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use is simple present. Out of the options given, "switches off" is the only simple present verb, while the other options use simple past or noun phrases, which are not suitable for this context. To illustrate: - "Switches off" is the third person singular form of the verb "switch off" in simple present tense. It indicates a habitual action that she always does before going to bed. Example: "She always switches off the television before going to bed." - "Off" is a preposition that indicates a position or location away from a place or object. It cannot function as a verb in this sentence. Example: "She always puts the remote control off the table before going to bed." - "Switched off" is the past simple form of the verb "switch off." It indicates an action that happened and was completed in the past. Example: "She switched off the television and went to bed." - "Switch off" is the base form of the verb, which is not suitable for this sentence since it does not indicate present tense or a habitual action. Example: "She needs to switch off the television before she goes to bed."

Question 25 Report
After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.
All our plans fell through at the last moment. This means that we
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "All our plans fell through at the last moment" is that our plans failed. The phrase "fell through" is often used to indicate that something that was planned or expected to happen did not happen, or was cancelled at the last moment. In this context, it means that our plans did not come to fruition, despite our efforts. Option A, "were exposed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because there is no indication that anything was exposed or revealed. Option B, "delayed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence either because the sentence suggests that the plans didn't happen at all, rather than being delayed. Option C, "were abandoned," is close in meaning to "fell through," but doesn't accurately capture the sense of suddenness implied by the phrase "at the last moment." Therefore, option D, "failed," is the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence.
Question 26 Report
After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.

Answer Details
The phrase "play it by ear" means to act according to circumstance, or to make decisions based on what happens in the moment, rather than following a predetermined plan. So, in this case, the most appropriate interpretation would be that they decided to act according to circumstance, rather than having a set plan or expectation.
Question 27 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.

Question 28 Report
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.
.............at 5 0'clock every morning was one of the regulations he detested most at school
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "waking up." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and requires a verb in the past tense. The verb "waking up" is in the present participle form, which can function as a verb in the past tense when combined with an auxiliary verb (e.g., "was waking up"). The other options are not in the correct tense or do not make grammatical sense in the context of the sentence.
Question 29 Report
After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.

Answer Details
When someone speaks "with their tongue in their cheek," it means that they are saying something but not being serious, and that they are being sarcastic or humorous. So, in this case, the teacher was not being serious when he said that lazy Ade was the best pupil. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation is that the teacher did not mean what he said.
Question 30 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "lucrative". This is because the sentence suggests that the new venture was successful and profitable, which is the meaning of the word "lucrative". The other options do not necessarily connote success or profitability in the context of the sentence.

Question 33 Report
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 day I won a visa lottery was the..........day of my life
Answer Details
The best word to complete the sentence is "happiest". The sentence is talking about a very special day in someone's life, specifically the day they won a visa lottery. When something is the happiest day of someone's life, it means that it is the day they felt the most joy and excitement they have ever felt. The word "happiest" expresses this idea better than the other options. "Happy" and "very happy" are not strong enough to convey the intense emotions that winning a visa lottery can bring, while "happier" suggests that there have been other happy days, but this day is not just happy, it is the happiest.
Question 34 Report
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 asked the driver to..................at the school gate.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "drop her," option A. When we use the phrasal verb "drop off," it means to let someone or something be at a particular place, usually by stopping a vehicle. In this sentence, the woman is asking the driver to drop her off at the school gate, which means she wants to be let out of the car at the school gate. Option B, "drop her down," doesn't make sense in this context because we don't use "drop down" after "drop" when talking about someone getting out of a car. Option C, "drop her out," doesn't make sense because it means to withdraw from something or to stop attending something. Option D, "drop her in," doesn't make sense in this context because it would mean the woman wants the driver to let her into the school, which is not what the sentence is asking for.
Question 35 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.

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 .............the new principal, '' Obi
said
Answer Details
The correct option is "am looking forward to meeting." This is because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, and we use the present continuous tense to express actions that will happen in the future. Therefore, the phrase "am looking forward to meeting" implies that the speaker is anticipating a future meeting with the new principal. The other options are incorrect because they use the wrong verb tense or form.

From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word.
The fishing boat was imperilled by high winds, but it managed to reach port safely
Answer Details
The correct option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word is "endangered." The word "imperilled" means to be in danger, at risk, or threatened. In this sentence, the fishing boat was in danger due to high winds, which means it was "endangered." The other options, "pushed," "disturbed," and "blown" do not convey the meaning of being in danger or at risk. "Pushed" means to apply pressure or force, "disturbed" means to disrupt or interfere with something, and "blown" means to be moved by the wind. Therefore, none of these words is an appropriate synonym for "imperilled."

Either way, his behavior suggests that he was feeling ashamed or embarrassed about something.

The best word to complete the sentence is "forfeit" (option D). The word "forfeit" means to give up something as a penalty for wrongdoing or failure to fulfill an obligation. In the context of the sentence, the person is facing the possibility of being found guilty of amassing wealth illegally. Therefore, if he is found guilty, he may be required to give up his wealth as a penalty or punishment, which means he will forfeit it. The other options - "forgo," "abandon," and "repay" - do not accurately convey the idea of giving up something as a penalty for wrongdoing, so they are not as appropriate as "forfeit."

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "experienced" is "novice."

Therefore, freedom of movement is a fundamental right that should be respected and protected by the government and its citizens.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 85 is "beak" (option C). A beak is a hard, curved, pointed part of a bird's mouth that is used for biting, tearing, and crushing food. The sentence mentions the characteristics that a bird possesses, which include "a toothless" feature. Birds do not have teeth like mammals do, instead, they have a beak, which is a specialized structure adapted to their unique dietary needs. Therefore, "beak" is the most appropriate option to fill the gap in question 85. The other options - "mouth," "lip," and "gum" - are not as suitable because they do not accurately describe the physical feature of birds' mouths.

Answer Details
In question 83, the best option to complete the gap is "feature." The sentence is talking about what makes birds instantly recognizable, and the word "feature" fits perfectly in this context. A feature is a distinctive attribute or aspect of something that makes it recognizable or identifiable. Therefore, it is the most suitable word to describe what makes birds easily recognizable. The other options do not fit as well in this context. "Possession" is not appropriate because it implies ownership rather than a distinctive characteristic. "Mark" and "sign" could work, but they are not as specific or appropriate as "feature" in this context.

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.

"Have" is the correct auxiliary verb to use here in forming a present perfect tense question.

The word "shouldn't" is used to indicate that going home might be the better option, and to ask whether the other person agrees or not. The other options ("can't," "won't," "mustn't") do not fit the context of the question being asked.

The verb "adjourn" is often used to indicate the end of a meeting, with the implication that the meeting will reconvene at a later time. Option B, "dismissed," doesn't fit the context of the sentence because it suggests that the meeting was abruptly ended, without any formal decision being made. Option C, "postponed," implies that the meeting was not completed and will continue at a later time, which is inconsistent with the sentence. Option D, "dissolved," suggests that the meeting was ended in a permanent or final way, which is also inconsistent with the sentence. Therefore, option A, "adjourned," is the most appropriate choice, indicating that the meeting was formally ended, with the intention of reconvening at a later time.

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 does not remember.............to anyone at the part.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "talking." The verb "remember" is followed by the infinitive form of the verb, which is "to talk." However, the sentence is in the negative form, and the word "not" comes after "remember." Therefore, the correct form of the verb is the present participle, which is "talking." To illustrate: - "To be talking" is the present continuous form of the verb and is not correct in this sentence. - "Talking" is the correct present participle form of the verb. - "To have talking" is not a grammatically correct form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "talking."
