This year, the annual school -78- was to a workshop in a nearby village. Although it was well before mid-day, the blacksmith was already sweating from the -79- from the small -80-. He had an assistant who was energetically pumping the -81- that was fanning the charcoal into bright red -82-. There was no difference between the red hot coal and the metal. With large -83- the smith lifted the hot iron from the fire and placed it on the -84-. Quickly picking up a -85-, he began to beat it into the shape he wanted. As he did this, -86- flew from the hot iron in all directions. After he had achieved the shape he wanted, he threw it into a wooden -87- filled with water, where other blackened the objects lay.
Man’s destruction of his -88- began to show a very long time ago as areas of forests were cleared for use as farmland. Recently, however serious attempts have been made to control the -89- to land and protect the -90- of plants and animals from dying out. National -91- and -92- reserves were established. Man’s effort to care for species that are endangered sometimes result s in overpopulation because the -93- which would naturally keep animal population in -94- are absent. As a result of over-grazing, hundreds may die of -95- . another problem is -96-; their presence in large numbers can -97- the animals and disturb their very habitat that is being preserved. Children need to learn about these things. Perhaps cultivating -98- in schools or keeping -99- at home will kindle their desire to preserve life. It is irresponsible to live in a -100- where one cares only about oneself.
In question numbered 92 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details

This is because the passage is discussing efforts to protect endangered species from dying out, and the establishment of national reserves for this purpose. These reserves are specifically intended to protect the habitat and populations of wild animals, which are referred to as "game". Therefore, "game" is the most suitable option to fill the gap.

In question numbered 91 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap numbered 91 is "parks". This is because the passage discusses the efforts made by humans to protect plants and animals from dying out, and the establishment of national reserves to care for species that are endangered.

Answer Details
In question number 89, the best option to fill the gap is "damage".

Question 5 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
After the riot, the streets were blocked with charred vehicles.
Answer Details
The correct answer is D, "burnt." In the sentence, the word "charred" is used to describe the condition of the vehicles. "Charred" means burned or partially burned, so the correct answer is "burnt." The vehicles were damaged by fire and the remains were left on the street, blocking the way. To explain it more simply, when something is charred, it means that it has been burned or partially burned. So, the vehicles were burned and left on the streets, which blocked the way.

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 family..............dinner when we knocked at the door.
Answer Details
The sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the action occurred before now. Therefore, the best option is "was having," as it indicates an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. The correct sentence should read, "The family was having dinner when we knocked at the door."
Question 8 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
The corpse has been taken to the ...................
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "mortuary". A mortuary is a building or room where dead bodies are kept before burial or cremation. It is also sometimes referred to as a morgue. Therefore, the phrase "taken to the mortuary" means that the corpse has been taken to the place where it will be kept until it is buried or cremated. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. A dispensary is a place where medical prescriptions are filled or medicines are sold, and is not related to the handling of dead bodies. A theatre is a place where performances take place, such as plays or movies, and is also not related to the handling of dead bodies. A ward is a section of a hospital where patients are housed, and is not related to the handling of dead bodies either.

In question numbered 99 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 99 is "pets". This is because the sentence suggests that cultivating something in schools or at home will kindle children's desire to preserve life. Keeping pets at home is a common way to teach children about caring for another living being, so it makes sense as the most suitable option to fill the gap. The other options, birds, parrots, and swans, are too specific and do not fit the context of the sentence.
Question 13 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The fat old woman looked comical in those trousers.
Answer Details
The word 'comical' means funny or amusing in an absurd way. Therefore, the option that is nearest in meaning to 'comical' in this context is 'ridiculous', which means deserving or inviting mockery or derision.
Question 14 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:
The ...............toys have all been stolen.
Answer Details
The correct option is "children's". Explanation: The sentence refers to toys that belong to children, so it requires the possessive form of the word "children". The apostrophe ('s) indicates that the toys belong to one or more children. Therefore, the correct sentence is "The children's toys have all been stolen." Option A, "children", is a plural noun that refers to one or more young human beings. However, it is not possessive, so it is not the correct option. Option B, "childrens", is an incorrect spelling of the word "children" and does not exist in standard English. Option C, "childrens'", includes an unnecessary "s" after "children", which is already plural, so it is not the correct option.

After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.

Answer Details
Question 16 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:
The plane took off...................
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "five minutes ago". "When the plane took off" refers to a specific time in the past, so the correct choice should indicate an action that happened in the past. "Five minutes ago" is a phrase commonly used to indicate that an action occurred five minutes prior to the present moment, which fits perfectly with the context of the sentence. Option A "since five minutes" does not make sense grammatically because "since" is used to indicate a starting point and requires a specific action to follow it. Option C "in the past five minutes" also implies a recent past, but it doesn't indicate a specific starting point for the action, making it less fitting than "five minutes ago." Option D "by five minutes" does not work because "by" indicates a deadline or time limit, not a point in the past.
Question 17 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:

After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.

Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "The proprietor and his accountant have had a running battle over the last financial report" is that they have had a series of arguments on the report. This means that the proprietor and his accountant have been having ongoing disagreements or disputes regarding the content of the financial report. It suggests that there may be differences in opinion on how to present or interpret the financial data, or there may be discrepancies or errors in the report that need to be addressed. The phrase "running battle" implies that the arguments have been ongoing and persistent rather than a one-time event.
Question 20 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:
The new road was completed on schedule..............the difficulties involved.
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "despite". This is because "despite" is used to show that something happened or is true, even though there are difficulties or problems. In this case, it means that the new road was completed on time, even though there were difficulties involved. "Although" also shows contrast, but it is usually used to introduce a clause that contrasts with the main idea. "Besides" means "in addition to" and "however" is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with the previous statement.
Question 21 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The thief's jail terms are to run concurrently.

It is irresponsible to live in a -100- where one cares only about oneself.
In question numbered 100 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The missing word in question 100 is related to living and caring only about oneself. Therefore, the best option to complete the gap would be "world." Living in a world where one cares only about oneself is irresponsible because it ignores the well-being and needs of others and the environment. Option B, "world," best fits this context. Option A, "situation," is too broad and vague. Option C, "state," is also too general and doesn't convey the same meaning as "world." Option D, "place," doesn't accurately capture the global scale of the issue being discussed.
Question 23 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
The new car is very attractive but I doubt its.............
Answer Details
The sentence expresses doubt about something related to the new car. The word "attractive" suggests that the doubt is related to something that may not be visible or immediately apparent. The most likely option that expresses doubt in relation to the new car is "durability" (option C), as this refers to the ability of the car to withstand wear and tear over time. This would be a concern that might not be apparent at first glance but would be important in the long run. Therefore, the correct option is "durability."

In question numbered 80 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap numbered 80 in the passage is "furnace". This is because the blacksmith is sweating due to the heat from the small furnace, and the assistant is pumping the air into the furnace to keep the charcoal burning hot. A furnace is a device used for heating, and in this case, it is used to heat the iron to make it malleable so that the blacksmith can shape it. The other options, such as "generator," "oven," and "incinerator" do not fit the context of the passage and do not make sense in relation to the blacksmith's work.
Question 26 Report
After each of the following sentences, a list of possible interpretations of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation that you consider most appropriate for each sentence.

Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "Had it been possible to leave the country then, I would have done so" is "I would have liked to leave the country but I wasn't able to". The sentence describes a hypothetical situation in the past, where the speaker would have done something if a certain condition had been met. In this case, the condition was that it was possible to leave the country, but it wasn't. Therefore, the speaker did not leave the country.

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:
By Christmas, I..................for one year.
Answer Details

The other options are in different tenses and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 31 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:
Olu passed his examination .............he was a determined student
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "because". This is because the word "because" is used to indicate a reason or explanation for something. In the sentence, "Olu passed his examination because he was a determined student", the reason for Olu's success in the examination is explained by his determination.
Question 32 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:
No child................have drawn that picture.
Answer Details
The correct option is "could". The sentence is in the past tense, and it is expressing doubt about whether or not a child was able to draw a certain picture. The word "could" is the past tense of "can," and it means "was able to" or "had the ability to." Therefore, "No child could have drawn that picture" means that it is unlikely that any child had the ability to draw that particular picture. Option A, "can," is incorrect because it is present tense and does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "will," is also incorrect because it refers to the future tense, which is not relevant in this sentence. Option D, "may," implies possibility or permission, and it doesn't fit the context of expressing doubt or uncertainty about the ability of a child to draw a particular picture. Therefore, option C, "could," is the best option as it fits the context of the sentence and expresses the intended meaning.
Question 33 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

This year, the annual school -78- was to a workshop in a nearby village. Although it was well before mid-day, the blacksmith was already sweating from the -79- from the small -80-. He had an assistant who was energetically pumping the -81- that was fanning the charcoal into bright red -82-. There was no difference between the red hot coal and the metal.

Man’s destruction of his -88- began to show a very long time ago as areas of forests were cleared for use as farmland. Recently, however serious attempts have been made to control the -89- to land and protect the -90- of plants and animals from dying out. National -91- and -92- reserves were established. Man’s effort to care for species that are endangered sometimes result s in overpopulation because the -93- which would naturally keep animal population in -94- are absent.

Children need to learn about these things. Perhaps cultivating -98- in schools or keeping -99- at home will kindle their desire to preserve life. It is irresponsible to live in a -100- where one cares only about oneself.
In question numbered 79 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
In the context of the sentence, the blacksmith is sweating, which indicates that there is a lot of heat in the environment. Therefore, the best option to complete the gap is "heat" (option A).
Question 35 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:
Ali dropped the pot accidentally and it..............
Answer Details
The correct option is "broke". The sentence is in the past tense, and the word "dropped" is already in the past tense. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use should be in the past tense as well. "Broke" is the only option in the past tense. The other options are in the present tense or past perfect tense, which are not suitable for the sentence.
Question 36 Report

In question numbered 82 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap in question 82 is "embers" (option C). This is because the previous sentence mentions that the blacksmith is fanning the charcoal into bright red, indicating that the coal has become hot and is glowing. Embers are small pieces of glowing coal or wood that remain after a fire has died down, so it is the most suitable word to describe the state of the charcoal in this context. Option A "ashes" is incorrect because ashes are the remains of burned material and are not capable of fanning a fire. Option B "faggots" is incorrect because it refers to a bundle of sticks used for fuel, which is not mentioned in the passage. Option D "lights" is incorrect because it does not make sense in the context of the passage.
Question 39 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:
As they-.....................the thieves broke into the house
Answer Details
The correct answer is "were sleeping." The sentence is in the past tense and describes an action that occurred in the past. The phrase "as they" suggests that the action being described is happening at the same time as something else. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use in this sentence is the past continuous tense, which is "were sleeping." This suggests that while the occupants of the house were sleeping, the thieves broke in.
Question 40 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the below each passage, four options are offered in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passages.

In question numbered 86 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The most appropriate option for the gap is "sparks". The sentence describes how the blacksmith beats the hot iron into shape using a hammer and how sparks fly from the hot iron in all directions. Therefore, "sparks" is the best word to fill the gap.
Question 41 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:

Answer Details
Question 42 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:

Answer Details
The most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "any." The speaker is asking whether or not there is some amount of chalk present in the classroom.
Question 43 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:
The children's toys have all been stolen.
The correct answer is children's. Children is the plural of child. The same applies to women's; people's; men's. You would never write, “The childs' toy”, as “child” is singular, so the apostrophe would come before the s, “the child's toy”.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "children's." The apostrophe is used to indicate possession or belonging, and in this sentence, it shows that the toys belong to the children. Since "children" is already plural, we add the apostrophe and "s" after it to indicate possession. Writing "childrens" or "childerns'" is incorrect because they are misspelled or do not follow the rules of English possessives.
Question 44 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:
The professors said that Ade was...............
Answer Details
The correct option is "a student of great potential." This option uses correct English word order to express the intended meaning. Option A, "a great student of potential," suggests that Ade is already a great student but has the potential to improve. This contradicts the sentence's context, which is that Ade has not yet fully realized their potential. Option C, "a great potential student," is also grammatically incorrect. It implies that Ade has the potential to become a great student, rather than being a great student with potential. Option D, "of potential a great student," uses an awkward sentence structure that makes it difficult to understand the intended meaning. It also goes against the conventional English word order, which places adjectives before nouns. Therefore, option B, "a student of great potential," is the correct choice as it expresses that Ade has a lot of potential to become a great student.
Question 45 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the below each passage, four options are offered in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passages.

In question numbered 90 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap in question number 90 is "species". Explanation: The sentence talks about protecting the "____ of plants and animals from dying out". Since "species" is the term used to describe a group of organisms with similar characteristics that can interbreed, it is the most appropriate word to fill the gap in this context.
Question 46 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The prosecutor argued his case vehemently but the defence lawyer responded................
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "vehemently" is "feebly." The correct option that will correctly fill the gap is letter B, "feebly." This is because the word "vehemently" means forcefully, strongly, or passionately, while "feebly" means weakly or without strength. Therefore, if the prosecutor argued his case vehemently, the defense lawyer responded weakly or feebly.
Question 47 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
The................of the asylum sang a song for the President.
Answer Details
The correct word to complete the sentence is "inmates." An "asylum" is a place where people with mental illnesses are housed and treated. The word "inmate" refers to a person who lives in an institution, such as a prison, hospital, or asylum. Therefore, the most appropriate word to use in this context would be "inmates," as they are the individuals who reside in the asylum. Option B, "occupants," could also be a possible answer, but it is a more general term that could refer to anyone who occupies a building or space, whereas "inmates" specifically refers to those who are residing in an institution. Option C, "residents," and Option D, "tenants," are not the best choices because they both imply that the individuals living in the asylum are there voluntarily and have some sort of legal or financial agreement with the institution, which is not necessarily the case for those in an asylum.
Question 48 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
The government has imposed an..................on the importation of used vehicles.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "embargo." An embargo is a government order that restricts trade with a particular country or restricts the importation or exportation of a particular product. In this context, the government has imposed a restriction on the importation of used vehicles, which means that an embargo has been put in place. Therefore, "embargo" is the best word to complete the sentence. Option A, "order," is a general term that can refer to any type of instruction or command, and it does not specifically indicate a restriction on trade. Option B, "edict," is a formal decree issued by a ruler or authority, and it does not specifically indicate a restriction on trade. Option D, "act," is a broad term that can refer to any type of law or legislation passed by a government, and it does not specifically indicate a restriction on trade.
Question 49 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:
Your friend and mentor,.................his speech.
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "has finished." "Has finished" is in the present perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action that started in the past and has just been completed or has relevance to the present moment. In the context of the sentence, the speaker is referring to their friend and mentor's speech, which was likely just delivered or is still ongoing. Therefore, "has finished" would be the appropriate verb tense to indicate that the speech has been completed. Option B, "is to be finishing," is incorrect because it is in the present continuous tense and suggests that the speech is still ongoing. Option C, "have finished," is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense but uses the plural verb "have," which does not agree with the singular subject "your friend and mentor." Option D, "was finished," is in the past tense and suggests that the speech has already been completed in the past, which is not the case given the context of the sentence.
Question 50 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
There isn't enough rice, so its importation is permitted whereas the importation of cement is.............
Answer Details
The underlined word in the sentence is "permitted" which means allowed or authorized. We are looking for a word that is opposite in meaning to "permitted" and also fills the gap in the sentence correctly. The correct answer is "prohibited" which means not allowed or forbidden. The sentence then reads "There isn't enough rice, so its importation is permitted whereas the importation of cement is prohibited" meaning that importing cement is not allowed.
Question 51 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 was dismissed because he ............. the cheque.
Answer Details
The best option that completes the sentence is "should not have issued". This means that the person issued the cheque but it was not the right thing to do, and as a result, he was dismissed.
Question 52 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:
This plan is an alternative...........the last one
Answer Details
The correct answer is "to". The sentence is stating that the plan being referred to is a substitute or another option in place of the last plan that was discussed or considered. The word "alternative" means another possibility or option, and "to" is the preposition that is commonly used to show a connection between one alternative and another.
Question 53 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The official who disclosed the information he was supposed to ..............was sacked
Answer Details
The word "disclosed" means to make information known or reveal it. Therefore, the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "disclosed" is "conceal", which means to hide or keep something secret. The correct word to fill the gap is "conceal" because the official was supposed to keep the information secret, but instead, he made it known, which resulted in him being sacked.
Question 54 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The clever lawyer exposed the facts that were obscure in the case, making the judge see beyond the.............
Answer Details
The underlined word in the sentence is "obscure," which means not clear or difficult to understand. To choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning, we need to look for a word that means clear or easy to understand. Among the options, "obvious" is the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "obscure." Therefore, the correct answer is "obvious." The sentence would then read, "The clever lawyer exposed the facts that were obscure in the case, making the judge see beyond the obvious."
Question 55 Report
In each of the following sentences, there is one word underlined and one gap. From the list of words lettered A - D, choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentences.
The principal of that school was demoted for his incompetence while several others were commended for their .............
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "incompetence" and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "efficiency". This is because the sentence implies that the principal was demoted for his lack of ability, while several others were praised for their competence. "Efficiency" is the word that best conveys the idea of competence and effectiveness in performing a task, and is therefore the most appropriate choice.
Question 56 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The doctor told his patient about all the things that could impair his health.
Answer Details
The word "impair" means to weaken or harm something. In the given sentence, the doctor is warning the patient about all the things that can harm his health. Therefore, the word that is nearest in meaning to "impair" is "damage" as it also means to cause harm or injury.
Question 57 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:
The rapper's popularity is beginning to wane
Answer Details
The best word to complete the sentence is "decline." "Wane" means to decrease in strength or intensity, so the sentence is asking if the rapper's popularity is decreasing. "Disappear" means to vanish completely, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. "Change" and "disperse" both imply a shift or scattering, but don't necessarily indicate a decrease in popularity. "Decline," on the other hand, specifically means to become smaller, weaker, or less important, which fits the context of the sentence.
Question 58 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The teacher sent the boy out of the class for his impertinence
Answer Details
The word "impertinence" means disrespect or rudeness towards someone in a position of authority. Among the options given, the word that is nearest in meaning to "impertinence" is "rudeness" (option C). Therefore, the teacher sent the boy out of the class for his rudeness.
Question 59 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the below each passage, four options are offered in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passages.
This year, the annual school -78- was to a workshop in a nearby village. Although it was well before mid-day, the blacksmith was already sweating from the -79- from the small -80-. He had an assistant who was energetically pumping the -81- that was fanning the charcoal into bright red -82-. There was no difference between the red hot coal and the metal. With large -83- the smith lifted the hot iron from the fire and placed it on the -84-. Quickly picking up a -85-, he began to beat it into the shape he wanted. As he did this, -86- flew from the hot iron in all directions. After he had achieved the shape he wanted, he threw it into a wooden -87- filled with water, where other blackened the objects lay.

Children need to learn about these things. Perhaps cultivating -98- in schools or keeping -99- at home will kindle their desire to preserve life. It is irresponsible to live in a -100- where one cares only about oneself.
In question numbered 81 above, choose the best option from letters A - D that best completes the gap.
Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap numbered 81 is "bellows." A blacksmith uses a tool called a "bellows" to blow air into the fire and keep it hot. The sentence mentions that the blacksmith's assistant was pumping air into the fire, and this action is done by a tool called "bellows." Therefore, the correct option is "bellows." Option A "valves" are devices that regulate the flow of fluids and gases, so it doesn't fit in this context. Option C "blowers" are machines that produce air flow, but in the context of blacksmithing, the correct tool for this action is a "bellows." Option D "bags" don't make sense in this context because there's no relation between bags and the blacksmith's tools or actions.

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:
When I arrived, I noticed that he.............the kitchen
Answer Details

While we expected it to be gradual, the process of transition to civilian rule came to an ........end.
Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "gradual" is "abrupt." The sentence indicates that the process of transition to civilian rule did not happen gradually as expected but rather ended suddenly, hence the use of the word "abrupt." The other options do not fit in the sentence context as they do not convey the intended opposite meaning of "gradual."
Question 65 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:
If it rains, the exhibition will be cancelled,.............?
Answer Details
The best option that completes the sentence is "won't it". This is because it is used to express the speaker's belief or assumption that the exhibition will be cancelled if it rains. The use of "will" in the first part of the sentence indicates that the condition (rain) will trigger the consequence (cancellation), and "won't it" is a tag question that seeks confirmation or agreement from the listener.
Question 66 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:
The last election resulted ..................a disaster for the Socialist Party
Answer Details

This year, the annual school -78- was to a workshop in a nearby village. Although it was well before mid-day, the blacksmith was already sweating from the -79- from the small -80-. He had an assistant who was energetically pumping the -81- that was fanning the charcoal into bright red -82-. There was no difference between the red hot coal and the metal. With large -83- the smith lifted the hot iron from the fire and placed it on the -84-. Quickly picking up a -85-, he began to beat it into the shape he wanted. As he did this, -86- flew from the hot iron in all directions. After he had achieved the shape he wanted, he threw it into a wooden -87- filled with water, where other blackened the objects lay.
