Answer Details
The sentence describes the mother as having expertise in multiple areas, so the word that best completes the sentence should indicate this. "Versatile" means capable of adapting to many different functions or activities, and is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence. "Skilled" and "clever" could also be appropriate, but "versatile" encompasses the idea of having a range of skills and abilities. "Pushful" is not a valid English word, and "hard-working" is not directly related to the idea of having multiple skills. Therefore, the correct answer is: - versatile.

Question 15 Report
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

"Fired" means to dismiss someone from their job, which is not relevant to the situation. "Retried" means to be tried again in court, which does not fit the context of a defeated army. "Executed" means to be put to death, which is not what typically happens to a defeated general. "Disgraced" means to have lost respect or honor, which could be applicable to the situation, but does not directly answer the question of what the General did with his army.

Answer Details
The missing word is related to the formal set-up of schools. The option that best fits is "organized" as it means well-structured and well-planned, which reflects the nature of the school system.

In this context, the labour leaders are threatening a show-down with the government if the subsidy is removed, which means that they are ready for a serious confrontation or struggle to defend their interests.
Question 21 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
.........in his right senses will give shelter to a known thief.
Answer Details
The correct word to complete the sentence is "nobody". This sentence is asking who would give shelter to a known thief. "Somebody" and "someone" both refer to an unspecified person, so it's not specific enough to answer the question. "Everybody" means every person, so it would be unlikely that every person would give shelter to a known thief. "Nobody" means no person, which makes sense in this context because it would be expected that no rational person would give shelter to a known thief.

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The earthquake that struck Mexico........the city
Answer Details
The earthquake that struck Mexico ________ the city? The most appropriate word to complete this sentence is "devastated."

Therefore, it makes sense to use the word "devastated" to describe the impact of an earthquake on a city.

The other options, such as "activities" or "roles," are too general and do not specifically refer to the profession of teaching.

The sentence talks about how initiation ceremonies for young adults are part of the education process in many cultures. "Initiation" refers to the formal admission or acceptance into a group or society, often marked by a ritual or ceremony. Therefore, it is the most suitable word to fill the gap. The other options, such as "fattening," "courageous," "wild," and "secret," do not fit the context and meaning of the sentence.
Question 27 Report
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
He has stopped drinking.....?
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "hasn't he". The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which indicates an action that started in the past and has continued up until now. The phrase "stopped drinking" is in the present perfect tense. When forming a question in the present perfect tense, we use the auxiliary verb "have" or "has". In this case, "has" is used to indicate that the person has stopped drinking. To form a question, we place the auxiliary verb before the subject. The sentence is a negative question, which means that it requires a negative auxiliary. The only option that provides a negative auxiliary verb and is in the correct tense is "hasn't he". This option means "Has he not stopped drinking?"
Question 28 Report
Instruction: Choose the word opposite in meaning to the underlined words.

The sentence is a mixed conditional sentence. The word that best completes the sentence is "hadn't". This is because the sentence is talking about a hypothetical situation in the past (it didn't rain) and the result of that situation on a past action (not completing the work). Therefore, the correct structure of the sentence in the third conditional form would be "If it hadn't rained, I would have completed the work".

Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 93 is "protection" (option D). The previous sentence talks about how modern science has made available ways to prevent childhood diseases, and then the blank space mentions "the only guarantee" for protection from these diseases. Therefore, the missing word should refer to a way of avoiding or preventing the diseases, and "protection" fits this context perfectly. Option A ("freedom") is not appropriate in this context because it does not relate to the prevention of childhood diseases. Option B ("discharge") is also not appropriate because it implies a medical treatment after a disease has already occurred, rather than prevention. Option C ("cure") is not appropriate because it implies treating a disease that has already occurred, rather than preventing it. Finally, option E ("victory") does not fit the context and is too strong a word for the sentence.

Question 44 Report
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The notorious robber was finally....by the police after a three-month search
Answer Details
The sentence is referring to a notorious robber who has been on the run for three months. The police have been searching for the robber and have finally achieved a result. From the options provided, the best word to complete the sentence is "arrested." This is because when the police arrest someone, it means they have taken them into custody for committing a crime.

"Surrounded" suggests that the police had trapped the robber, while "overwhelmed" means that the robber had defeated the police. "Entangled" means that the robber had become involved in a difficult situation, which doesn't make sense in this context. "Located" means that the police had found the robber, but it doesn't necessarily mean they had caught them.

In this context, the lady is insisting that the splashing of water was not accidental, meaning that the taxi driver did it on purpose, and therefore, the opposite of accidental is deliberate.

Answer Details
The missing word in the sentence is related to food and household chores. The context suggests that the young girl is helping her mother in preparing the family's food. Therefore, the best option to complete the gap is "meal" as it refers to the food that is prepared and eaten by a person or a group. Option A (diet) is a possible option but doesn't fit the context as it refers to the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. Option B (meat) is too specific and doesn't fit the context. Option D (cooking) and Option E (dishes) are related to food preparation but do not complete the sentence meaningfully. Therefore, the correct answer is "meal."

In question 72, the best option to fill the gap is "attainment." The sentence is talking about how the older members of a community guide and educate the younger members towards the "desired goals of their group."

The sentence is referring to the process of educating young people to help them reach their goals, so "attainment" is the most appropriate word to use. The other options do not fit as well in the context of the sentence. "Evolution" and "preservation" do not relate to education, while "enforcement" and "creating" do not fit the context of the sentence.
