Question 2 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The government has been urged to provide more facilities for training..........
Answer Details
The correct answer is "the physically disabled and mentally retarded". This is because the word "training" implies that the sentence is referring to a group of people who require training in a particular area. The use of the definite article "the" before "physically disabled and mentally retarded" indicates that the sentence is referring to a specific group of people, rather than a general category of individuals. The plural form of "disabled" and "retarded" is also more appropriate in this context, as it acknowledges that there is a diverse range of people with different disabilities and levels of intellectual functioning who require training.

Answer Details
The word 'ratified' in the sentence means to confirm or approve. The question requires a word that is opposite in meaning to 'ratified' and can correctly fill the gap.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question number 99 is "intensive". In the context of the passage, the word "intensive" is commonly used to describe a high level of care or treatment. The phrase "those under intensive care" implies that the patient requires close and constant monitoring and medical attention. Therefore, option E is the correct choice.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The bicycle..........on the wet grass for several days
Answer Details
The correct option is "has been lying". This is because the sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is formed using the auxiliary verb "has/have" + "been" + present participle (-ing form) of the verb. The sentence describes an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "lie" is "lying", and the correct auxiliary verb is "has been".

The sentence "Considering that he earns a very fat salary, the engineer ought to have built a house by now" suggests that the engineer has not built a house yet, even though he earns a very good salary. Therefore, the interpretation that is most appropriate for this sentence is option B: "has not built a house though he earns a handsome salary." So, the correct answer is option B - has not built a house though he earns a handsome salary.
Question 14 Report
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

Answer Details
In question 80, the best option to complete the gap is "considerations". This is because the sentence is discussing the actions of governments and the reasons for their restrictions on international trade, which are not entirely swayed by economic factors alone. The word "considerations" fits here as it implies that there are other factors that come into play when governments make decisions about trade policies.

Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap numbered 93 is "stethoscope." In the context of the passage, the doctors are using various medical instruments to treat the injured man, and one of these instruments is used to listen to the sound of his heart and lungs.

"Manoeuvred" means to move skilfully or carefully, which fits the context of the sentence. The other options - "dispatched", "catapulted", and "proceeded" - do not convey the same meaning of skilfully navigating out of a difficult situation.

Answer Details
The underlined word is "rural," which describes something related to the countryside. To fill the gap in the sentence, we need a word that means the opposite of rural.

Answer Details
The missing word in the passage is related to keeping a patient under close monitoring. The most appropriate option to fill the gap would be 'observation'.

Option A, 'restriction', is not related to the context of the passage, as it implies limiting something, which is not applicable here. Option B, 'diagnosis', refers to identifying the nature or cause of a problem or disease, but it is not appropriate in this context as the patient has already been diagnosed and is receiving treatment. Option D, 'inspection', means to examine something closely, which is somewhat related to the context but does not fully capture the meaning. Option E, 'confinement', means to restrict someone to a particular place, which is not suitable in the context of the passage.

Answer Details
In the given passage, we are told about a visit to a hospital and the treatment given to a man who was injured in a road accident. In the blank space numbered 89, we are asked to choose the best option from the letters A to E that best completes the gap. Looking at the context, we can understand that the man who was brought to the hospital was injured in a road accident. Therefore, the word that would best complete the gap is the one that refers to the person who was injured. Among the options given, "victims" is the most appropriate word that refers to a person who has been injured, harmed or killed as a result of an accident, crime or any other event. Hence, the answer is option B: victims. The sentence would read: "At the Accident Department where accidents victims are treated, the doctors were battling to save the life of a man who had just been knocked down in a road accident."
