Question 1 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
If I ... what actually happened, I would have punished him.
Answer Details
The correct answer is "had heard." This is because the sentence is in the past perfect tense, which indicates that the action happened in the past before another past action. In this case, the speaker did not hear what happened in the past, and as a result, did not punish the person who did something wrong.

Looking at the words provided, the most appropriate option is "time".

Therefore, the word "time" is the best option to fill in the blank.

The correct option is "as well". The sentence implies that the speaker had a certain expectation of the person's singing ability, but that expectation was not met.

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
Osaro told members of his club that the match would kick ... at 4.30pm.

The correct option is "off". "Kick off" is a phrasal verb commonly used in sports to indicate the start of a game or match. So, in this sentence, Osaro is telling the members of his club that the match would start at 4.30pm, which makes "kick off" the appropriate phrasal verb to use. Out of the options provided, only "off" fits with "kick off", so it is the correct choice.

Question 11 Report
After the sentence, a list of possible interpretations of all or part of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation you consider appropriate for the sentence.
The runners-up trophy which our school had won was cold comfort for all the efforts we made
Answer Details
The appropriate interpretation for the sentence is "a poor consolation." The sentence suggests that the runners-up trophy, which the school had won, did not bring the desired or expected level of comfort or satisfaction to the speaker and their team. This implies that they had worked hard and expected to win but only managed to come in second place. As a result, the trophy may seem like a poor consolation or inadequate reward for their efforts. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Befitting reward" suggests that the trophy was a fitting or appropriate reward for their efforts, which is not what the sentence implies. "Wet comfort" and "an affectionate consideration" do not make sense in the context of the sentence. "Well deserved" suggests that they deserved the runners-up trophy, which is not the issue the sentence is addressing.
Question 12 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
The president's speech ... at 7pm yesterday
Answer Details
The best option that completes the sentence is "was broadcast." The sentence is in the past tense, and the word "yesterday" in the sentence indicates that the action took place in the past. The verb tense that matches with the past tense is the past simple tense. Therefore, the most appropriate option that matches with the past simple tense is "was broadcast." Option A, "is broadcast," is in the present tense, which is not appropriate for a past event. Option B, "has been broadcast," is in the present perfect tense, which indicates that the action took place at an unspecified time before now. This tense is not appropriate because the sentence refers to a specific past time, which is yesterday. Option C, "were broadcast," is in the past simple tense, but the verb "were" is not appropriate because "the president's speech" is a singular subject, and "were" is for plural subjects. Therefore, "was broadcast" is the best option that completes the sentence. In conclusion, the correct sentence should be "The president's speech was broadcast at 7pm yesterday."

Answer Details
The option that best completes the sentence is "an imported pure leather bag". This is because the sentence requires the proper order of adjectives, which is "quality" followed by "type" followed by "descriptor". In this case, "imported" describes the type of bag, "pure" describes the quality of leather, and "leather" is the descriptor of the bag material.
Question 15 Report
After the sentence, a list of possible interpretations of all or part of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation you consider appropriate for the sentence.
She tried to throw dust in my eyes
Answer Details
The phrase "throw dust in my eyes" is an idiomatic expression which means to deceive or mislead someone by concealing the truth or by providing false information. Therefore, the interpretation that is appropriate for the sentence is "mislead me". The speaker is saying that someone tried to deceive them by providing false information or hiding the truth from them. They did not literally throw dust in the speaker's eyes but used this expression as a metaphor to describe the act of deception.

This is because the sentence talks about a foolish decision made by the eldest son, which resulted in the loss of his claim to an additional chieftain title. "Forfeit" means to give up something as a penalty for a mistake or wrongdoing, which fits the context of the sentence. Therefore, option D, "forfeit", is the correct answer.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 86 is "advent." The sentence reads, "such movements reach a -85- with the -86- of festivals." The phrase "such movements" refers to the frequent travelling of Nigerians mentioned earlier in the passage, and the missing word is describing the peak or climax of these movements. "Advent" means the arrival or coming of something important, which fits the context of the sentence as it describes the peak of travelling during festivals. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence as well. "Incident" refers to an unexpected event and does not make sense in the sentence. "Arriving" is a verb and does not fit grammatically in the sentence. "Addition" means something added to an existing thing, and it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. "Adventure" means an exciting or daring experience, which does not fit the context of the sentence as it is not describing the festivals themselves but rather the peak of travelling during festivals.

Answer Details
Based on the sentence "Having decided -94- the building materials to be -95- the foundation is then -96-," we can deduce that the missing word is a preposition that indicates the relationship between the decision about the building materials and the next step, which is laying the foundation. The most appropriate option to complete the gap is "on," as in "Having decided on the building materials to be used, the foundation is then laid."
Question 25 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.

"By" would imply a deadline for discussion, "with" implies simultaneous discussion, and "over" implies discussion across different time periods.

The sentence is expressing a hypothetical scenario in the past where the presence of the leader would have made things better.
Question 27 Report
From the lettered A to E below the sentence, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined expression as it is used in the sentence.
She tried to settle the quarrel but the man remained obstinate to listen to her.
Answer Details
The word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined expression "obstinate" as it is used in the sentence is "stubborn". "Obstinate" means that someone is stubbornly refusing to change their opinion or course of action, and "stubborn" means that someone is determined to do what they want and is unwilling to change their mind. These two words are very similar in meaning, with "stubborn" being more commonly used in everyday language. Therefore, option C, "stubborn", is the correct answer.
Question 28 Report
In Nigeria, the idea of taking a vacation cannot be said to have -72-. This is not -73- that Nigerians are not -74- of travelling. The people travel so -75- that the frequency of the travelling could provide useful -76- for a -77- census.

Answer Details
The correct option is "standard." In construction, the quality of building materials used is very important. The word "recommended" implies that there are certain standards for building materials that are set by professionals in the field. Therefore, the best option to complete the sentence is "standard," as it indicates that the bricks used must meet the recommended quality or standard set by professional builders. The other options do not fit as well in this context - "rigidity" and "solidity" suggest how sturdy or strong the bricks are, but not whether they meet a standard. "Flexibility" and "medium" are not relevant to the quality of the bricks.
Question 29 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
The Minister say he is accountable ... the president, and nobody else.
Answer Details
The option that best completes the sentence is "to." The sentence suggests that the Minister is accountable to the President and no one else. The word "accountable" means that the Minister is responsible or answerable for his actions or decisions. In this case, the Minister is accountable to the President, which means he has to explain and justify his actions to the President. Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "to" because it indicates the direction of accountability, which is from the Minister to the President.
Question 30 Report
In Nigeria, the idea of taking a vacation cannot be said to have -72-. This is not -73- that Nigerians are not -74- of travelling.

Answer Details
The sentence states that the fact that Nigerians travel frequently does not mean they do not like to travel. The word that best fits in the blank in question 73 is "suggest". The phrase "This is not suggesting that Nigerians are not fond of travelling" means that Nigerians are fond of travelling, despite the fact that taking a vacation is not a common practice in Nigeria. Therefore, the correct option is "suggest", which means to propose or imply something without explicitly stating it.
Question 31 Report
After the sentence, a list of possible interpretations of all or part of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation you consider appropriate for the sentence.
Despite the different economic measures taken by the government, the country is not yet out of the wood
Answer Details
The appropriate interpretation for the sentence is that the country is not yet free from difficulties. The phrase "out of the woods" is an idiomatic expression that means being free from difficulties, danger or hardship. However, the sentence suggests that despite the different economic measures taken by the government, the country is still facing challenges or difficulties. Therefore, the correct option to choose is "not yet free from difficulties" because it explains the meaning of the idiom used in the sentence.
Question 32 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
Tayo was very obstinate; the more his mother insisted ... willingly would he do anything.
Answer Details
The correct option is "the less." The sentence implies that Tayo was very stubborn and would only do things if he was not asked to do them. The phrase "the more" suggests that Tayo's obedience would increase as his mother insisted more, which contradicts the sentence's intended meaning. The phrase "as less" and "so less" do not make grammatical sense in this context. Therefore, "the less" is the best option as it means that the more Tayo's mother insisted, the less likely he was to do what she wanted.
Question 33 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
It was apparent that we were being ... by the heat as soon as the air conditioner was switched off

When someone is "stifled," it means they are feeling suffocated or uncomfortable due to the lack of air. Therefore, the people were feeling stifled due to the heat when the air conditioner was switched off.

From the lettered A to E below the sentence, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined expression as it is used in the sentence.
The decision taken by the panel is irrevocable

"Irrevocable" means that something cannot be changed or undone, and "irreversible" means that something cannot be reversed or undone. These two words are very similar in meaning, with "irreversible" being more commonly used in everyday language. Therefore, option A, "irreversible", is the correct answer.

The word "left" is the past tense of "leave" and fits the context of the sentence. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the tense of the sentence. "Leave" is in the present tense, "have to leave" is in the present perfect tense, and "will leave" is in the future tense.
Question 37 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.

Question 38 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
You were punished because you ...last week without permission.
Answer Details
The correct option is "ought not to have travelled". This is because the sentence is talking about a past action that was not allowed, and the speaker is explaining why the punishment was given. "Ought not to have travelled" indicates that the person should not have traveled last week without permission. The other options are not correct because they either indicate future actions (must not have traveled, will not have traveled) or present actions (ought not to travel), which do not fit the context of the sentence.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 95 is "used." The sentence structure suggests that the builder has already decided on the building materials to be used. Therefore, the next step would be to use the materials to erect the building, making option D, "erected," a possible choice. However, the sentence also suggests that the builder has made a decision on the materials to be used, which indicates that the choice of material has already been made. Therefore, "used" is the most appropriate option that fits in the gap, as it refers to the implementation of the already-decided building materials.

Answer Details
The appropriate interpretation for the given sentence is "her result was as expected." The sentence states that Susan was the last in the examination, but her result wasn't too different from what had been expected. This means that despite being the last, Susan's result was not a disappointment, but rather it was in line with what had been anticipated. For example, if Susan had been consistently performing well in her studies, and had prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she had done well despite being the last. Conversely, if Susan had been performing poorly in her studies and had not prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she did not perform well but that her poor performance was not a surprise.

Answer Details
The question requires us to choose the option that best completes the gap in the sentence. The gap reads "When you desire to erect a building, you must -88- a plan that is -89- both from the point of view of -90- and that of -91-." From the options provided, the best option that fits into the gap is "practicable." This is because a plan that is practicable means that it is feasible, realistic and workable. In other words, the plan can be executed successfully. Therefore, option D, "qualitative" is incorrect because a plan being of high quality does not necessarily mean that it is practicable.

Answer Details
In the context of the passage, the question is asking what needs to be cleared before starting the construction of a building. The word "cleared" suggests that something needs to be removed or prepared before the building can be erected. The best option from the letters A - E that completes the gap is "site" (option C). This is because before starting the construction of a building, the site where the building is to be erected needs to be cleared. This involves removing any obstacles, debris, or vegetation from the area to create a level surface for the foundation of the building. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Floor" (option A) refers to the inside surface of a room or building and does not relate to the preparation of the site. "Ground" (option B) is too general and does not specifically refer to the site of the building. "Bush" (option D) refers to an area with dense vegetation, which is the opposite of what needs to be done before building a structure. "Cite" (option E) means to quote or refer to something, which does not relate to the preparation of the building site.

The correct option to complete the sentence is "five-man panel." In the context of the sentence, the word "panel" refers to a group of people gathered to investigate or discuss a particular issue.

The use of the word "man" instead of "men" indicates that the panel is composed of five individuals, regardless of their gender. The use of the apostrophe in "five-men's" is grammatically incorrect as it suggests possession, which is not applicable in this sentence. Therefore, the sentence means that the students refused to appear before the group of five individuals who were set up to investigate their demands.
