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.
One of the muggers who snatched the hangbag _____ been arrested by the police.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "has." The sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. The word "has" is the helping verb used in the present perfect tense. In this sentence, the subject is "One of the muggers," which is singular. Therefore, we need a singular form of the helping verb "have." The only option that provides a singular form of the helping verb "have" is "has." So the sentence should read, "One of the muggers who snatched the hangbag has been arrested by the police."

Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "is she?" When we use a question tag to ask for confirmation, we typically use the same auxiliary verb as the one in the sentence. In this case, the sentence uses the auxiliary verb "is" in the negative form "is not," so the appropriate question tag would be "is she?" This question tag asks for confirmation about the subject's suitability for the job.

Question 13 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
Frank was _____ in the riot because his books were found at the scene.
Answer Details
The best word that completes the sentence is "implicated". To be implicated in something means to be involved in it, usually in a negative way. In this case, Frank's books were found at the scene of a riot, which suggests that he was somehow involved in the riot. The word "caught" could also make sense in this context, but it doesn't imply that Frank was necessarily involved in the riot, just that he was found at the scene. The words "balmed" and "grafted" have no relation to the sentence and do not fit the context.

The sentence before the blank talks about the challenges of farming, including battling the land until "______ are carved out." This suggests that the missing word should refer to some sort of raised or elevated landform that is created through farming. Out of the four options given, "ridges" is the most suitable word to fill the blank. Ridges are long, narrow elevations of land that are often created by plowing and planting crops in a particular way. In farming, planting crops on ridges can help with drainage and prevent erosion.

loan
Answer Details
The word that rhymes with "loan" is "bone". When two words rhyme, it means they have the same sound at the end of the word. In this case, both "loan" and "bone" end with the same sound "oan" which makes them rhyme. "Storm" and "from" have different ending sounds, so they do not rhyme with "loan". "Long" also has a different ending sound, even though it shares two letters with "loan".

Two boys in the art class were doing self-potraits by looking at ____ in the mirror.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "themselves." The sentence is talking about two boys who were doing self-portraits, which means they were drawing or painting pictures of themselves. Therefore, they were looking at themselves in the mirror, not at each other, one another, or oneself. The word "themselves" is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, which in this case is "two boys." It is the only option that correctly reflects the fact that the boys were doing self-portraits and looking at themselves in the mirror. "Each other" and "one another" both refer to multiple people looking at each other, which is not what the sentence is describing. "Oneself" would be used if each boy was drawing a picture of himself but not looking in the mirror.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "some dirt." The sentence "The place was quite neat except for some dirt on the floor" means that everything in the place looked clean and tidy except for a small amount of dirt on the floor. The phrase "some dirt" refers to a quantity of dirt that is not specified, but is enough to be noticeable. The other options do not fit in this context - "dirty" is an adjective, "a dirt" and "dirtiness" are not used in this type of sentence. Therefore, "some dirt" is the correct answer.

Issa is very much interested in education while his sister in ________
Answer Details
The underlined word "interested" suggests that Issa has a positive attitude towards education. To find a word that is the opposite in meaning to "interested" and can fill the gap in the sentence, we need to look for a word that describes his sister's attitude towards education. Out of the given options, the word "indifferent" is the most nearly opposite in meaning to "interested". If someone is indifferent, they are not interested or concerned about something. Therefore, the correct answer is: Issa is very much interested in education while his sister is indifferent. Alternatively, we could say: Issa is very enthusiastic about education while his sister is apathetic. Enthusiastic means having a keen interest or intense liking for something, while apathetic means showing no interest or concern.

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.
Each time he opens his mouth, he _____ something foolish.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "says." In this sentence, we need a verb that matches the present tense of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is "he," which is singular and third-person, and the tense is present. The only option that matches both the tense and subject-verb agreement is "says." "Saying" is the present participle form of the verb and could be used in a different sentence structure, but it doesn't fit in this sentence as the main verb. "Said" is the past tense of the verb and doesn't match the present tense of the sentence. "Say" is the base form of the verb and doesn't match the third-person singular subject "he."
Question 42 Report

Therefore, the correct answer is "bore."

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 suddenly came ____ a lot of money.
Answer Details
The correct word to complete the sentence is "into". "When someone 'comes into' something, it means that they have acquired or received it suddenly or unexpectedly. In this sentence, the phrase 'a lot of money' is the thing that the person has acquired suddenly. Therefore, the correct option is 'into', which is the preposition used to show the direction of movement when something is acquired or received." Example: "He came into a large inheritance after his grandfather passed away."

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that rhymes with the given word.

In this case, "night" and "bite" have the same long "i" sound in the final syllable and the same "t" ending sound. Therefore, "bite" is the correct option. To help remember the rhyming sound, you can think of phrases like "take a bite at night" or "a mosquito bite at night."

The word should fit in the context of the sentence, which talks about a farmer's life and how farming ensures that a farmer will never go hungry. Out of the four options given, the word that best fits this context is "served." This is because the word "served" means to provide food or drink for someone, which is appropriate for the context of the sentence. The other options, "provided," "supplied," and "taken," do not fit the context as well and do not make sense in the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "served."

The word "feeds" accurately captures the idea that farming is vital for feeding the population and ensuring food security. The other options, such as "tends," "nourishes," and "develops," do not convey the same meaning and are not as appropriate in this context.

Question 60 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.
He would rather resign _____ part in such a dishonest deal.
Answer Details
The correct option is "than take". In the sentence, the speaker is saying that he would prefer to resign from taking part in a dishonest deal rather than actually taking part in it. The phrase "would rather" indicates a preference for one option over another. The word "than" is used to introduce the preferred option, which is "resign". The verb "take" in the other options is not in the correct form to match with the subject "he". The correct form would be "takes", but that still wouldn't be appropriate in the context of the sentence. So, the best option that completes the sentence is "than take".
