Question 1 Report
From the words or groups of words lettered A to D, chose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
We arrived when the hall ...arranged so we stood outside.
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "was being." This is because the sentence is in the past tense, and the action of arranging the hall was already in progress when "we" arrived. The phrase "was being" is in the past continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past. Option A, "has been," is in the present perfect tense and suggests that the hall is still being arranged, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "is being," is in the present continuous tense and suggests that the hall is currently being arranged, which again does not fit the past tense context of the sentence. Option D, "had been," is in the past perfect tense and suggests that the arranging of the hall was already completed before "we" arrived, which also does not fit the context of the sentence.

This masquerade appears once in a blue moon. This means that the masquerade appears
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "This masquerade appears once in a blue moon" is "on very rare occasions". The phrase "once in a blue moon" is an idiom used to describe something that happens very rarely or infrequently, and has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon or the frequency of the event. Therefore, the sentence means that the masquerade is a rare occurrence, happening only on very special occasions or with a long interval of time between appearances.

Answer Details

The opposite of "preventive" is "curative," which means relating to the treatment of an illness or disease. Therefore, the word opposite in meaning to the underlined word is "curative," and the correct option is (E) curative.

Answer Details
The missing word in the sentence is related to the payments made by firms to insurance companies. The sentence says "Most firms will seek -89- against fire, fraud and other -90- happenings for which they pay annual -91- to the insurance companies." The word that best fits in the gap is "premiums" (Option E). The term "premiums" refers to the amount of money that a policyholder pays to an insurance company to obtain insurance coverage. It is an annual payment that guarantees that the insurance company will cover the cost of any loss or damage that may occur during the policy period. Therefore, the use of the term "premiums" in the sentence is correct and makes sense in the context.

There were five boys.....
Answer Details
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "two of whom were beaten". This option is the most grammatically correct because it uses the phrase "of whom" to refer back to the boys, and specifies that two of them were beaten. The other options either use incorrect grammar or incorrect pronouns. "Which two were beaten" is incorrect because "which" is used to refer to things, not people. "Whom two were beaten" is also incorrect because "whom" is an object pronoun, and the boys are the subject of the sentence. "Of whom two of them were beaten" is redundant because "of them" is unnecessary after "whom".

Answer Details
The correct answer is "None." Explanation: The sentence states that "none of the five boys was able to show me the way to the zoo," meaning that all five boys were unable to help. "Neither" would be incorrect because it refers to a choice between two options, "any" would be incorrect because it suggests that at least one of the boys could show the way, and "some" would be incorrect because it suggests that only a few of the boys could show the way. Therefore, "none" is the most suitable option for the sentence.
Question 26 Report
From the word lettered A to E , choose the word that best completes the sentence.
The building ... because of weak structural foundation
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "collapsed". The sentence is asking about a possible reason for a building's failure, and the word "collapsed" fits the context perfectly. When a building collapses, it means that the entire structure falls down, often due to weak structural foundation or other serious structural problems. The other options (tumbled, succumbed, caved, and somersaulted) are less appropriate because they do not accurately convey the specific idea of a building falling down due to structural issues. Tumbling, succumbing, caving, and somersaulting all suggest movement or change, but not necessarily the kind of catastrophic failure that would occur if a building collapsed.

He was convicted....stealing some bags of cocoa.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "for". The preposition "for" is used to indicate the reason or cause of an action, and in this sentence, it explains why the person was convicted. The sentence means that the person was found guilty and punished for the crime of stealing some bags of cocoa. Option A ("with") could also be used to express that the person was found guilty of the crime, but it is usually used in cases where someone is caught in the act of committing a crime, for example, "He was caught with the stolen bags of cocoa." Option B ("in") could also be used to describe the location or circumstances of the crime, for example, "He was caught in the act of stealing the bags of cocoa." Option C ("of") is not a correct choice in this sentence because "of" is usually used to indicate possession, origin or material, and it doesn't fit with the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is "for" because it shows the reason or cause of the conviction.

"More" means that Tunde is qualified, but there may be others who are also qualified. "More than" would need to be followed by a comparison to another candidate, for example: "Tunde is more qualified than Ahmed."

It is pretty difficult to choose...those three boys
Answer Details
The sentence is asking for the best word to complete the sentence that follows. The sentence is asking for a word that shows the relationship between the speaker and the three boys. The options are "between," "over," "against," and "among." "Between" is used to describe a relationship involving two things. Since there are three boys, "between" is not the best option. "Over" is often used to indicate superiority or control. In this context, it is not clear who has control or superiority over the three boys, so "over" is not the best option. "Against" means "in opposition to" and is not the best option since it does not show any relationship between the speaker and the three boys. Therefore, "among" is the best option. It means "in the middle of" or "surrounded by" and is appropriate since the speaker is trying to choose from the group of three boys.
