Question 64 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.
Every one of the students _______ to be excited about the excursion.
Answer Details
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.

The sentence implies that Binetou is very curious, while her sister is not. We are asked to choose a word that is the opposite of "inquisitiveness" and can fit into the blank space. 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."

Question 66 Report
After the following sentence, a list of possible interpretations is given. Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence.

Answer Details
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.

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.

Out of the given options, only one word or group of words fits this description: - could not hear This option is in the past tense and conveys the meaning of the student being unable to hear the teacher.

If Musa had woken up earlier, he ______ breakfast.

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 72 in the passage.
Answer Details
The missing word in number 72 of the passage is "risks". This is because the sentence refers to the willingness of an entrepreneur to take something, and in this case, it is a risk. Starting a new business involves a lot of uncertainty, and an entrepreneur must be willing to take risks to succeed. The word "debts" does not fit here because it does not refer to the willingness of an entrepreneur to take something. "Pitfalls" and "problems" also do not fit because they do not convey the idea of willingness.

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 beans have not been properly ________
Answer Details
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."
