Within one year, that country has _________its currency five times.
Answer Details
The correct option is "devalued." The sentence implies that the country has experienced significant fluctuations in the value of its currency. To "devalue" a currency means to reduce its value in relation to other currencies. It is a common strategy used by governments to boost exports by making their goods cheaper on the international market. Therefore, the correct word that best fits the context of the sentence is "devalued." The other options do not fit the context, as "reduced" is too general, "revamped" is irrelevant, and "defaced" has a completely different meaning.

In the sentence, the Committee considered the explanation provided by the person in question, and based on their evaluation, they decided to let her go.

The gullible and not the_______usually fall prey to tricksters.
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "gullible" and fits in the sentence is "discerning." "Gullible" means easily fooled or deceived, so "discerning" would mean having good judgement and the ability to see through deception. This fits in the sentence because the sentence says that those who are not gullible are the ones who don't fall prey to tricksters, and having good judgement would make someone less likely to be tricked.

Layi is quite reliable but his sister is_________
Answer Details
The most appropriate word to fill the gap and also be the opposite of "reliable" is "untrustworthy." "Reliable" means dependable, trustworthy, or consistent. Therefore, the opposite of "reliable" is something that is not dependable or trustworthy. "Untrustworthy" fits this definition and is the correct choice. "Unswerving" means not changing or wavering, which is not the opposite of "reliable." "Deceptive" means intending to mislead or trick, which is not appropriate for the sentence. "Pretentious" means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, or culture than is actually possessed, which is also not the opposite of "reliable."
Question 22 Report

Answer Details
The correct answer is shareholders. A shareholder is a person or organization that owns one or more shares of stock in a company. When a company makes a profit, it may choose to distribute a portion of those earnings to its shareholders as dividends. Therefore, if a company has paid dividends, it means that it has given a portion of its profits to its shareholders. Buyers are individuals or organizations who purchase goods or services from a company. Wholesalers are intermediaries who purchase goods in bulk from manufacturers and sell them to retailers. Consumers are individuals or households who purchase and use goods and services for personal consumption. These groups are not typically paid dividends by a company.

Question 26 Report
choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
She hates________waiting.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "being kept." The sentence is in the present tense, and it describes a current feeling of hatred towards waiting. The phrase "being kept" is a present participle that functions as an adjective to modify the noun "waiting." This construction implies that the subject is currently experiencing the feeling of hatred while waiting. The other options do not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence or are in the wrong tense.
Question 27 Report
choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The whole place was in turmoil when we got there.
Answer Details
Question 28 Report
choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
My submission________by the Council at the moment.
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "is being considered." This is because the sentence is in the passive voice, which means the subject (My submission) is not performing the action. Instead, something is being done to it by someone else. The use of "is being" indicates that the action of considering is currently ongoing, which makes sense in the context of the sentence, where the Council is the entity doing the considering. The other options do not fit grammatically or logically with the sentence. "Considering" is a present participle that does not match the tense of the sentence, "considers" is in the wrong tense, and "is considered" is in the wrong voice.

Answer Details

This means that her driving is so bad that it could cause someone to become very anxious or stressed, to the point where they feel like pulling their own hair out. The phrase "tear one's hair out" is an idiom that means to be extremely frustrated or exasperated.
Question 31 Report
Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.
The Principal stood her ground even when the students revolted. This means that the Principal
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "The Principal stood her ground even when the students revolted" is that the Principal maintained her position. "Stood her ground" is a common idiom meaning to maintain one's position or opinion despite opposition or difficulty, and "even when the students revolted" suggests that the Principal did not back down in the face of the students' protest or rebellion. Therefore, the correct answer is maintained her position.

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "innocent" and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "guilty". The word "innocent" means "not guilty of a crime or offense", so the word "guilty" means "having committed a crime or offense". The sentence is saying that judgment should always be in favor of the person who is not guilty, rather than in favor of the person who has committed a crime or offense.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
Many members of political parties__________ to opposing parties just before elections.
Answer Details
The sentence describes a situation where members of a political party switch their loyalty to an opposing party before elections. The word that best fits the blank in the sentence is "defect." To defect means to abandon one's allegiance or duty to a group, organization or country for another. In this context, it means the political party members abandon their original party to join the opposing party. Therefore, the correct option is C, "defect."

The life of man appears long but, in reality, it is_________
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and correctly fills the gap in the sentence is "brief." Explanation: The sentence is talking about the length of human life. The word "long" is used to describe the life of man, but the speaker suggests that it is not actually long. The word "brief" means short in duration or time, which is the opposite of long. Therefore, "brief" is the best choice for the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "long" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence.

Answer Details
The correct option is "sceptical." The sentence suggests that the speaker's mother is optimistic about the success of the business, but her manager is not convinced. The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "convinced" is "sceptical," which means having doubts or reservations about something. Therefore, the correct word that best fits the context of the sentence and is opposite in meaning to "convinced" is "sceptical." The other options, such as "serious," "confused," and "concerned," are not opposite in meaning to "convinced" and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 42 Report
choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
The culprits_______when we entered the courtroom.
Answer Details
The sentence "The culprits _______ when we entered the courtroom" suggests that the action of interrogation was happening at the time when the speaker entered the courtroom. Out of the options provided, the only choice that correctly conveys this idea is "were being interrogated." This phrase is in the past continuous tense, which indicates an ongoing action in the past. The option "are being interrogated" suggests that the action is happening currently, which does not match the past tense of the sentence. The option "will be interrogated" suggests that the action will happen in the future, which also does not match the past tense of the sentence. Finally, the option "would be interrogated" is in the conditional mood, which suggests that the action is dependent on a hypothetical situation that is not presented in the sentence. Therefore, it is not a suitable choice to complete the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "were being interrogated."
Question 43 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
Investigations revealed that the senior students__________ the juniors to throw stones at the Principal's car.
Answer Details
The correct word that best completes the sentence is "instigated." To "instigate" means to encourage or provoke someone to do something, usually something negative or harmful. In this sentence, the investigations revealed that the senior students encouraged or provoked the juniors to throw stones at the Principal's car. Therefore, "instigated" is the appropriate word to use here. The other options do not fit in the sentence context as well. "Infuriated" means to make someone extremely angry, which does not make sense in this sentence. "Integrated" means to combine or bring together, which is not relevant to the situation described in the sentence. "Instituted" means to establish or put into place, which is also not applicable in this context.

Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "When the show was about to begin, we were still at sixes and sevens" is that we were confused. The phrase "at sixes and sevens" is an idiomatic expression that means to be in a state of confusion or disorder. In this context, it suggests that the speaker and others were not ready for the show despite its impending start. Therefore, the sentence implies that the speaker and their companions were confused, disorganized, or unprepared, which is why they were still "at sixes and sevens" when the show was about to start.
Question 47 Report

Question 48 Report

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "emigrated." "Emigrated" means to leave one's country or region to live in another, often in search of better opportunities. In this sentence, the young graduates are said to have "emigrated" to the West, meaning they have left their country to live in the West in search of better opportunities or "greener pastures." So, the word "emigrated" is the best choice to complete the sentence.
Question 49 Report
choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
If she had known, she wouldn't have come,________?
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "wouldn't she". This phrase is a conditional sentence, where the first part "if she had known" states a hypothetical situation, and the second part "wouldn't she have come" states the result of that situation. The word "wouldn't" is a contraction of "would not", and it expresses a negative possibility. So, the sentence as a whole means "If she had known the information, she wouldn't have gone to the place." In summary, the word "wouldn't she" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence because it conveys the idea of a negative possibility in a hypothetical situation.
Question 50 Report
Choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.

In the other words: - "Pack" contains the sound /æ/, which is a short vowel sound pronounced with the mouth slightly more closed than for /a:/. - "Player" contains the sound /eɪ/, which is a diphthong (a sound made up of two vowel sounds) that starts with the sound /e/ and ends with the sound /ɪ/. - "Alone" contains the sound /əʊ/, which is another diphthong that starts with the sound /ə/ (a schwa sound) and ends with the sound /ʊ/.

Answer Details
In the interest of peace, it is better to dialogue than to be confrontational.
