The government has a special programme for........
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "the poor" (Option A). In English, "poor" is an adjective that describes people who do not have enough money or resources to meet their basic needs. When used as a noun, it refers to people who belong to this category. Therefore, the article "the" should be used before "poor" to make it a noun and refer to a specific group of people who are experiencing poverty. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because "poors" is not a valid word in English.
Question 12 Report
From the words or group of words labelled A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
........university is..........institution of higher learning
Answer Details
The correct answer is "A...an". In the sentence, we have a vowel sound "u" at the beginning of the first word "university", so we need to use the article "an" before it. Since the next word "institution" starts with a consonant sound, we need to use the article "a" before it. Therefore, the correct sentence is "A university is an institution of higher learning."

The sentence means that the minister made statements that might make the citizens more anxious instead of calming them down. If the minister had made statements that would reduce anxiety, then the word "diminish" would be appropriate.

The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence is "completely defeated."

It is often used to describe animals that are scared or defeated in a fight, as they may literally tuck their tails between their legs and run away. In this case, the phrase is being used figuratively to describe the boys, suggesting that they were thoroughly defeated or embarrassed. Therefore, the sentence does not indicate that the boys left as great winners, utterly confused or after destroying so much, but rather that they left completely defeated.

Question 68 Report
From the words or group of words labelled A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
He is always asking for more......?
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "isn't he." Explanation: The sentence is describing a person who is always asking for more, and it is ending with a question mark to imply that the speaker expects the listener to agree or confirm their observation. To express this expectation, we need to use a tag question that is in the negative form. "Isn't he" is a negative tag question that can be used to express this expectation, and it also fits the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "He is always asking for more, isn't he?" meaning that the speaker expects the listener to agree with their observation about the person's behavior.

Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "He said he was a master of electronics, but I knew he was talking through his hat" is that I knew he was claiming what he knew nothing about. This means that the speaker did not believe the person who claimed to be a master of electronics and thought that he was simply talking without any real knowledge or expertise on the subject. The phrase "talking through his hat" is an idiom that means to talk nonsense or make false claims. Therefore, the speaker believed that the person was not telling the truth and was making false claims.

Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap in question 87 is "duster." This is because the sentence mentions "slightly moist" which indicates that the surface needs to be wiped or dusted off. The other options like sweeper, mop, cleaner, etc., do not fit the context of the sentence as they are used for cleaning floors and other surfaces, whereas a duster is used to remove dust and dirt from surfaces like tables, chairs, and stools.
