Frage 6 Bericht
Choose the option that best complete the gap. The unconscious man was _____ after receiving first aid.
Antwortdetails
The best option to complete the gap is "revived." To be "revived" means to be brought back to consciousness or life after being unconscious or seemingly dead. In this context, the person received first aid, which suggests that they were likely in a state of medical emergency, such as a heart attack or a severe injury. The first aid likely included measures to stabilize the person's vital signs, such as providing oxygen, administering medication, or performing CPR, which would help to restore their breathing and circulation. If the person's condition improved as a result of these interventions and they regained consciousness, they would be considered "revived." "Reawakened" is not as appropriate because it implies that the person was already awake at some point, but had fallen back into unconsciousness. "Reformed" is not appropriate in this context because it refers to changing or improving a person's behavior or character, rather than their physical state. "Restored" could be a possible option, but it is less specific than "revived" and could refer to the restoration of something other than consciousness, such as the person's physical health or overall well-being.
Frage 7 Bericht
Like all reptiles, snakes are cold blooded, or more correctly, ectothermic - they cannot produce their own body heat; instead, they rely on the sun to heat their bodies. Because they do not rely on energy from food to generate body heat, snakes can survive on an extremely meager diet. some wait for months between successive meals, and a few survive by eating a large meal just once or twice a year. When they do eat, snakes swallow their prey whole rather than biting off small piece. Many snakes have specialized jaws that enable them to swallow animals that are far larger than their own heads. Although uncommon, some snakes, such as the African rock python, have been observed eating animals as large as an antelope or a small cow.
With over two thousand five hundred species belonging to more than ten families, snakes are a large and successful groups. They owe much of this success to their versatility - snakes occupy habitat ranging from underground burrows to the top of the tree, to ocean depths as great as one hundred and fifty meters. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, and although they are most abundant in tropical areas, many survive in regions marked by extreme cold. The only places without snakes are parts of the polar regions and isolated islands, such as the Republic of Ireland and New-Zealand as opposed to places in Nigeria like Plateau and Gombe States in the Northern part where there is a large population of snakes.

The option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence is: "The amount available may be inadequate for projected expenditure."

Political change and social transformation in the form of revolutions have radically altered the course of human civilization and history. Today, the world is witnessing political and social changes arising from the desire of people all over the globe for greater freedom and a voice in the way they are governed and a better standard of living. Pan of these struggles and processes have become more pronounced in the Third World since the end of the East-West cold War in the late 1980's, and in the face of the challenges being posed by the ongoing process of globalization.
While political and social changes may appear to be distinct phenomena, they are analytically inseparable. Political and social changes refer to alteration or transformations in human behavior, norms and politico-social institutions. Such changes are often a collective response to the need to change, or as a tacit recognition of a shift in the prevalent power relations in the society. Therefore, the coming to power of a new set of rulers, or the establishment of new structure and processes of governance broadly typifies socio-political changes.
It is important to note that changes can either be positive or negative. In most cases, political and social changes are caused by certain factors or reasons. This push people to collectively organize themselves to struggle for a change in the existing power relations. Another reason is to capture political power in the hope of making life better for the generality of the people. If politics is defined as who gels what, when and how; It then implies that political change refers to an alteration in the form of power and the identity of the group or class which controls the wields states power.

The passage states that change can be positive or negative and that it is often a collective response to the need for change or a shift in power relations. It also says that political change refers to a change in the form of power and the identity of the group in control of the state's power. So, the true statement according to the passage is that change is inevitable. This means that change is bound to happen and is a natural part of the course of human history and society.
Frage 33 Bericht
Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. The dressmaker unpicked the seam of the shirt.
Antwortdetails
The option opposite in meaning to the underlined word "unpicked" is "sewed up". When you "unpick" a seam, it means you are removing the stitches that were previously sewn, and essentially taking the fabric apart. On the other hand, "sewing up" refers to the act of putting things back together by sewing or stitching them. So, if the dressmaker "unpicked" the seam of the shirt, it means that she was taking it apart, but if she "sewed up" the seam of the shirt, it would mean she was repairing it or putting it back together. In simpler terms, the sentence means that the dressmaker was removing the stitches of the shirt's seam.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled 18.Antwortdetails
The appropriate option for the gap labelled 18 is "a magazine". A magazine is a periodical publication that contains articles and stories of a particular subject or interest. Unlike newspapers that are published daily or weekly, magazines are published less frequently, such as weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. They often have a more in-depth coverage of topics and are typically aimed at a specific audience. Therefore, establishing a magazine is a good option for a publisher who wants to cover a specific subject matter in more detail and reach a specific target audience.

Frage 39 Bericht
Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. Musa is a gifted but erratic player.
Antwortdetails
The opposite of "erratic" is "regular". When we describe someone or something as "erratic", it means that their behavior or performance is unpredictable, irregular, or inconsistent. Therefore, if we want to choose the option that is opposite in meaning, we need to look for a word that conveys the opposite idea of unpredictability and irregularity, which is regularity. "Regular" means that someone or something happens or behaves in a predictable, consistent, and dependable way. So, if we say that Musa is a "gifted but regular player", it means that he is talented and performs well in a consistent and dependable way.
Frage 40 Bericht

Antwortdetails
The option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence is "The robber was surrounded by the people."

Therefore, the correct option is the one that means that the robber was surrounded by the people.
Frage 41 Bericht
Choose the option that best complete the gap. The clock _____ 12 o'clock two hours ago.
Antwortdetails
The correct option to complete the sentence is "struck". The sentence implies that two hours have passed since the clock last struck 12 o'clock. Therefore, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "strike" to convey this meaning, which is "struck". So, the complete sentence would be: "The clock struck 12 o'clock two hours ago."
Frage 42 Bericht
Select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.Many workers are not happy because they live a hand-to-mouth life.
Antwortdetails
The sentence means that many workers are not happy because they are barely surviving, they have just enough money to meet their basic needs and do not have any savings or extra money for luxuries. Therefore, option C, "They are barely surviving," best explains the information conveyed in the sentence. The other options do not relate to the sentence or provide incorrect information.
Frage 43 Bericht
Choose the option that best complete the gap. The house and the senate will at noon next Wednesday, _________ to hear a special address by the president.
Antwortdetails
The best option to complete the gap is "convene." To convene means to bring people together for a particular purpose, such as a meeting or a session. In this case, the sentence is referring to the House and the Senate coming together for a special address by the president. Therefore, the correct word to use is "convene." The other options do not make sense in the context of the sentence. "Collude" means to conspire or plot together in a dishonest way, which is not applicable here. "Adjourn" and "rise" both mean to end a meeting or session, which is the opposite of what is being described in the sentence.
Frage 44 Bericht
Choose the option that best complete the gap. The woman refused to testify ______ her husband.
Antwortdetails
The sentence is discussing a woman who refused to testify. The word that completes the sentence should indicate who or what she is refusing to testify against. The word "against" means to oppose or provide evidence opposing someone or something, which makes the most sense in this context. Therefore, the correct option is "Against". The complete sentence is "The woman refused to testify against her husband," meaning she declined to provide evidence that would be damaging to her spouse.
Frage 45 Bericht
Choose the option that best complete the gap. My mother was _____ annoyed with me for coming late.
Antwortdetails
The option that best completes the gap is "very" - "My mother was very annoyed with me for coming late." "Very" is an adverb used to intensify an adjective or another adverb, and in this case, it intensifies the adjective "annoyed." Therefore, it emphasizes how strongly the mother felt about her child coming late. "Just" wouldn't make sense because it implies that the mother was only slightly annoyed. "Neither" is incorrect because it means "not one or the other," and there are only two options presented. "Hotly" also doesn't fit because it means "in an intense or angry way," which could work in some contexts, but doesn't quite fit the scenario presented.
Frage 46 Bericht
Select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.My boss asked me to take my eyes off the ball.
Antwortdetails
The best option is "I should stop paying attention to what is most important." This is because the expression "take your eyes off the ball" means to stop paying attention to what is most important or to lose focus. It is often used in a figurative sense and not necessarily related to football specifically.
Frage 47 Bericht
Choose the option that rhymes with the given word. Ever.
Antwortdetails
The word that rhymes with "Ever" is "Never". Rhyming words are words that have the same ending sound. In this case, the "ever" sound is made up of the letters "e", "v", and "er". "Never" has the same "ev" sound followed by a different ending sound, which is "er". Therefore, "Never" is the word that rhymes with "Ever". The other options, "Heavier" and "Favour" have different ending sounds, so they do not rhyme with "Ever". "Fever" has a similar ending sound, but it is not an exact match, as the "f" and "v" sounds are different.

The best option to complete the gap is "wanted to know how long the examination had been going on." The word "wanted" indicates that the invigilator had a desire to know something, which in this case is the duration of the examination. The use of "had been" indicates that the examination had started before the invigilator's inquiry, so it had already been ongoing for some time. Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The invigilator wanted to know how long the examination had been going on."

Frage 54 Bericht
Select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence. The police are looking for the woman who farmed her children out to her neighbours.
Antwortdetails
The option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence is: "The police may arrest the woman for allowing her neighbours to take care of her children." The sentence suggests that the woman has "farmed her children out to her neighbours," which means that she has given the responsibility of taking care of her children to her neighbours. This may imply that she has left her children with her neighbours for an extended period, or perhaps on a regular basis. The use of the phrase "farmed out" suggests that the neighbours are taking care of the children as if they were their own, which could lead to legal issues for the woman. Therefore, the police are looking for the woman, possibly to arrest her, because she may have broken the law by leaving her children with her neighbours without proper supervision or authorization. The sentence does not suggest that the children have caused any harm to the neighbours' crops or that they are a nuisance, so those options are not the best explanations of the information conveyed in the sentence.

Frage 56 Bericht
Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. One of the students bought a plagiarised copy of the book.

The opposite of this would be an "original" copy, which means the student bought the original, non-copied version of the book.

Choose the option that best complete the gap. The laughter _____ his face for a moment.

The word "animated" is often used to describe something that is brought to life or given energy, so it fits well in this context.

Frage 66 Bericht
Like all reptiles, snakes are cold blooded, or more correctly, ectothermic - they cannot produce their own body heat; instead, they rely on the sun to heat their bodies. Because they do not rely on energy from food to generate body heat, snakes can survive on an extremely meager diet. some wait for months between successive meals, and a few survive by eating a large meal just once or twice a year. When they do eat, snakes swallow their prey whole rather than biting off small piece. Many snakes have specialized jaws that enable them to swallow animals that are far larger than their own heads. Although uncommon, some snakes, such as the African rock python, have been observed eating animals as large as an antelope or a small cow.
With over two thousand five hundred species belonging to more than ten families, snakes are a large and successful groups. They owe much of this success to their versatility - snakes occupy habitat ranging from underground burrows to the top of the tree, to ocean depths as great as one hundred and fifty meters. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, and although they are most abundant in tropical areas, many survive in regions marked by extreme cold. The only places without snakes are parts of the polar regions and isolated islands, such as the Republic of Ireland and New-Zealand as opposed to places in Nigeria like Plateau and Gombe States in the Northern part where there is a large population of snakes.
