Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "The restaurant owner offered Olu a drink on the house" is that the drink was free of charge. The phrase "on the house" is an idiom that means something is being provided free of charge, usually by the owner of the establishment. In this context, the restaurant owner offered Olu a drink without charging him for it. Therefore, Olu did not have to pay for the drink he was served in the restaurant.

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 careless manager has caused his bank to .....millions of naira
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "lose". Explanation: The sentence talks about an action that has already happened in the past, and the consequences of that action. The word "has caused" indicates that the manager has done something that resulted in a negative outcome. The phrase "to lose millions of naira" means that the bank has suffered a financial loss, which is the result of the manager's carelessness. Out of the four options provided, only "lose" is the correct form of the verb to indicate the past tense, which agrees with the sentence structure.

Answer Details

The sentence is saying that the professor's explanation of a particular point was easy to understand, so the best option to complete the sentence is: "The professor's explanation of that point was quite clear." Option A, "lengthy," means taking a long time or being excessively long, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "complicated," means consisting of many interconnecting parts or being difficult to understand, which is the opposite of what the sentence is trying to convey.

Answer Details

Question 16 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "aggressor." The sentence is contrasting the behavior of two people in a fight. The word "Etin" has always started the fights before, but this time, "Adamu" is clearly the aggressor. The term "aggressor" means someone who starts a conflict or is the first to attack. It fits the context of the sentence because it contrasts with Etin's usual behavior of starting fights. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Until now Etim has always started the fights, but this time Adamu is clearly the aggressor." Option A, "oppressor," means someone who uses power and control to harm or mistreat others, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "fighter," is a general term that could refer to either person, but it does not convey the meaning of one person being the first to start the fight. Option D, "underdog," means the person or team that is expected to lose in a conflict or competition. It also does not fit the context of the sentence.

Answer Details
Based on the context of the passage, the best option to fill the gap in question 100 is "collateral." This is because the passage is discussing opening a bank account and obtaining a loan, which often requires collateral to be put up as security for the loan. Collateral refers to assets or property that a borrower pledges to a lender to secure a loan. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "was." The sentence is talking about two people, Obi and Jumoke, who did not attend a meeting. The subject of the sentence is "neither," which is a singular word, so we need to use a singular verb to match. The correct sentence is: "Neither Obi nor Jumoke was present at the meeting." Option B, "were," is a plural verb form, which does not match the singular subject "neither." Option C, "have been," is a present perfect verb form, which is not appropriate for this sentence because the sentence is referring to a past event. Option D, "are," is a present tense verb form, which is not appropriate for this sentence because the sentence is referring to a past event.

This is because the sentence talks about the brother wanting to obtain something from the bank, which suggests that he needed to borrow money. The other options (credit, debit, balance) do not fit the context of the sentence as well as "loan" does.

Answer Details

Answer Details
The sentence talks about ending a discussion on good terms despite being a certain way towards each other at the beginning.

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.
The day that Musa's uncle died was the.....day of his life
Answer Details
The correct answer is "saddest." This is because "sad" is a one-syllable adjective, and when forming the superlative degree of one-syllable adjectives, the suffix "-est" is added to the end of the adjective. Adding "more" or "most" is not necessary and is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, "saddest" is the correct word to use to describe the day of Musa's uncle's death as the most sorrowful day of his life.

Question 34 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.
You should take what he tells you with a pinch of salt. This means that you should
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "You should take what he tells you with a pinch of salt" is to "doubt what he says." The phrase "take it with a pinch of salt" is an idiom that means to view something with skepticism or to doubt its veracity. In other words, the sentence is telling you not to believe everything that the person is saying without some level of doubt or skepticism. Option A, "reject everything he says because he is a liar," is not necessarily the correct interpretation since the sentence does not explicitly state that the person is a liar. Option B, "pay close attention to him," is not the most appropriate interpretation because the sentence is actually suggesting the opposite, which is to doubt what the person is saying. Option D, "question him closely," is also not the most appropriate interpretation because the sentence is not explicitly telling you to question the person, but rather to doubt what they say.
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.

In this case, the patron of the club is being referred to as having visited and the effect of the visit on the players' morale is being described. Therefore, "boosted" which means to increase or improve something, is the most suitable option.

Answer Details
The sentence "The newly acquired air-bus plane is a white elephant" means that the plane is very costly but worthless. A white elephant is a term used to describe an expensive possession that is more of a burden than a benefit. In this case, it means that the air-bus plane is very expensive to acquire, maintain and operate but it's not worth it as it doesn't bring any significant value or benefit.

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.
With his reading glasses on, he cloud see the words...............
Answer Details
The correct option is "much more clearly". This is because "clearly" is the adverb modifying the verb "see" which means the adverb needs to be in the correct form which is "clearly". The adverb "much" modifies "clearly" to indicate the degree or extent of clarity. The comparative form of "clear" is "clearer", so "much more clearer" is incorrect grammar.
Question 44 Report

The factory workers refused to take the matter of their sacked colleagues lying...........
Question 45 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
I will tell you the secret if you promise not to .......it
Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "divulge." This is because the sentence is expressing a condition that must be met before the speaker will reveal the secret. "Divulge" means to reveal or make known something that is meant to be kept secret, so the speaker is asking the listener not to reveal the secret if it is told to them. The other options, "show," "scatter," and "relay," do not convey the idea of keeping a secret and are not appropriate in the context of the sentence.
Question 46 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below each passage, four options are given in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passage.

Whenever his signature was irregular, his cheque was not -98- Once. he wanted to obtain a -99- and the bank insisted on -100-
Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question number 91 is "explosion". The context of the passage suggests that the human population is increasing very rapidly, and this needs to be addressed to avoid the looming consequence of population explosion. "Population explosion" refers to a sudden and rapid increase in the population of a particular species, in this case, humans. This rapid increase can lead to various problems such as depletion of resources, environmental degradation, and social issues. Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "explosion".
Question 47 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 robbers who snatched the car........been arrested by the police.
Answer Details
The correct option is "has". The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which indicates that an action was completed in the past and has a connection to the present. The subject "one of the robbers" is singular, so we need a singular verb form. The word "has" is the present perfect form of the verb "have," and it agrees with the subject "one of the robbers." Therefore, the correct sentence is: "One of the robbers who snatched the car has been arrested by the police."
Question 48 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The boys were about to trade blows, but I managed to hold one of them back while my friend..............the other
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "restrained". "Restrained" means to prevent someone from doing something, usually by using physical strength. In the sentence, the speaker was able to hold one of the boys back, while the speaker's friend was able to prevent the other boy from fighting by restraining him. The other options, "subdued", "coaxed", and "captured", do not accurately reflect the action of preventing someone from fighting.
Question 49 Report
From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word.
The children were warned not to be unduly inquisitive
Answer Details
The word "inquisitive" in this context means "curious," so the word that is nearest in meaning is option D: "curious."

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 two girls have not been speaking.............since their quarrel
Answer Details
The most appropriate option is "to each other." This is because the sentence talks about two girls who are not speaking, and the correct way to express that is to say they are not speaking to each other, meaning that they are not communicating with each other.
Question 51 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.
When the Choir Master introduced Jane as a brilliant singer, everyone knew that he was speaking with his tongue in his cheek. This means that he
Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation of the sentence "When the Choir Master introduced Jane as a brilliant singer, everyone knew that he was speaking with his tongue in his cheek" is that the Choir Master did not intend to be taken seriously. This means that the Choir Master was not serious when he introduced Jane as a brilliant singer. He was most likely being sarcastic or ironic and did not mean what he said literally. The phrase "speaking with his tongue in his cheek" is an idiom that means someone is not being sincere or is joking. Therefore, the people present understood that the Choir Master was not being genuine in his introduction of Jane.
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.
The man advised his children not to give.....to the temptations of the city
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "in." When we say that someone "gives in" to temptation, it means that they yield or succumb to it. In this context, the man is advising his children not to succumb to the temptations of the city, so the correct choice is "in." Option A, "off," is not the correct answer, as it does not convey the idea of yielding or succumbing to something. Option B, "up," is also not suitable in this context, as it does not convey the meaning of giving in or yielding. Option D, "out," is also not the right choice, as it does not make sense in this context. Therefore, option C, "in," is the best answer because it conveys the idea of giving in to something, which is what the man is warning his children against.
Question 53 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.
Ebiere turned...........all the advances made by the men
Answer Details
The option that best completes the sentence is "down". To turn someone down means to reject or refuse their offer, request or advances. Therefore, Ebiere refused or rejected all the advances made by the men.
Question 54 Report
In the following passages the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below each passage, four options are given in columns lettered A to D. choose the word that is the most suitable to fill the numbered gap in the passage.

Whenever his signature was irregular, his cheque was not -98- Once. he wanted to obtain a -99- and the bank insisted on -100-
Answer Details
In the context of the passage, the best option to fill the gap at number 80 is "methods." This is because the sentence is discussing how it was difficult to make a living from agriculture without modern farming methods. The word "methods" refers to the techniques and procedures used in farming, which have been developed over time to improve crop yields and make farming more efficient. The other options, such as "procedures," "steps," and "ways," do not convey the same meaning in this context and are not as appropriate.

Answer Details
The best option for the gap in question 81 is "failure". The sentence mentions that a single year of crop failure could lead to famine and death. The word "failure" here means that the crops did not grow or produce a yield as expected, leading to a lack of food and potential starvation. Option A, "collapse", does not accurately describe the situation as it implies a sudden and catastrophic event, which may not be the case here. Option B, "withdrawal", is not appropriate as it does not fit the context of the sentence. Option C, "disease", is incorrect as it is not related to the growth of crops.
Question 56 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 best option to fill the gap numbered 79 is "the soil." The context of the sentence suggests that the missing word refers to something related to farming, and the options provided are "ground," "soil," "world," and "earth." Option A, "ground," is not the best choice as it is a general term and does not specifically refer to the farming context. Option C, "world," and option D, "earth," are also not suitable because they are too broad and do not specifically refer to the farming context. Option B, "soil," is the best answer because it is the most appropriate term to use in the context of farming. The soil is where crops are planted and grown, so it makes sense that this would be the word used to fill the gap. Therefore, the correct option is B, "soil."
Question 78 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 most nearly opposite word to "demolish" is "preserve" or "keep." Since we are looking for a word that can correctly fill the gap, "preserve" or "keep" cannot be used because they do not fit the context of the sentence. Therefore, the best option would be "remove" as it means to take away or get rid of something, which is the action required to make space for the new hotel building.
