Detalles de la respuesta
The word "predicament" is closest in meaning to the word "dilemma." A predicament is a difficult or complicated situation, often involving a choice between two or more options. A dilemma is a similar situation, but with the added sense that it is a difficult decision that must be made. "Sadness" refers to a feeling of unhappiness, "deadlock" refers to a situation in which progress is impossible because of disagreement or conflicting interests, and "happiness" refers to a feeling of pleasure or contentment.

May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month. The days are long and humid. The river shrinks and black crows gorge on bright mangoes in still, dust green trees. Red bananas ripen. Jackfruits burst. Dissolute blue bottles hum vacuously in the fruity air. Then they stun themselves against clear windowpanes and die, fatly baffled in the sun. The nights are clear but suffused with sloth and sullen expectations.
But by early June the southwest monsoon breaks and there are three months of wind and water with short spells of sharp, glittering sunshine that thrilled children snatch to play with. The countryside turns an immodest green. Boundaries blur as tapioca fences take root and bloom. Brick walls turn mossgreen. Pepper vines snake up electric poles. Wild creepers burst through laterite banks and spilt across the flooded roads. Boats ply in the bazaars. And small fish appear in the puddles that fill the PWD potholes on the highways. It was raining when Rahel came

Slanting silver ropes slammed into loose earth, ploughing it up like gunfire. The old house on the hill wore its steep, gabled roof pulled over its ears like a low hat. The walls, streaked with moss, had grown soft and bulged a little with dampness that seeped up from the ground. The wild, overgrown garden was full of the whisper and scurry of small lives.In the undergrowth, a rat snake rubbed itself against a glistening stone. Hopeful yellow bullfrogs cruised the scummy pond for mates. A drenched mongoose flashed across the leaf-strewn driveway. The house itself looked empty. The doors and windows were locked. The front verandah bare. Unfurnished.
But the sky blue Plymouth with chrome tail fins was still parked outside, and inside, Baby Kochamma was still alive. She was Rahel's baby grand aunt, her grandfather's younger sister. Her name was really Navomi, Navomi Ipe, but everybody called her Baby. She became Baby Kochamma when she was old enough to be an aunt. Rahel hadn't come to see her, though.
Neither niece nor baby grandaunt laboured under any illusions on that account. Rahel had come to see her brother, Estha. They were two-egg twins. "Dizygotic' doctors called them. Born from separate but simultaneously fertilized eggs. Estha Esthappen-was the older by 18 minutes.
What rubbed itself against a glistening stone?
Detalles de la respuesta

They are usually not aggressive towards humans and are known for their ability to climb trees and swim. In this passage, the rat snake is found in the undergrowth of the overgrown garden, where it rubs itself against a glistening stone.

Choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.
mother
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the underlined letters in "mother" is "breathe." In the word "mother," the underlined letters are "th," which represents a voiced dental fricative sound. The word "breathe" also contains the same consonant sound represented by "th" in "mother." In "breathe," the "th" is also voiced and dental, producing a similar sound. The other options, "think," "teacher," and "watched," do not contain the same consonant sound as "mother." "Think" contains an unvoiced dental fricative "th" sound, while "teacher" and "watched" contain a "ch" sound, which is a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate sound. Understanding consonant sounds is essential for clear communication and correct pronunciation in English. It's important to learn and practice the correct pronunciation of each sound to be easily understood by native speakers.

Fill in the gap with the option that best completes the sentence.
If James fails his examination, his teachers, his parents, his friends, or I ______ to be blame.
Detalles de la respuesta
The word "am" should be used to complete the sentence. This is because the sentence starts with "I" which is the first person singular pronoun, and the verb that follows it should also be in the first person singular form. "Am" is the first person singular form of "be". So the sentence should read "If James fails his examination, his teachers, his parents, his friends, or I am to be blamed." This sentence is in the present tense, indicating a possibility or a potential situation.

The correct answer is "me." The sentence implies that the speaker is trustworthy and is not a liar, so the choice "me" makes sense because it completes the sentence by contrasting the speaker with the person being referred to as a liar. "All of the above" and "none of the above" are not appropriate options, as they are not relevant to the sentence. Option " i" is just a space and does not make sense in this context.

I have always found that it is helpful to have a few wise and trusted people to ________ you can turn for information and advice.
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that best completes the sentence is "whom". The sentence is describing the importance of having trusted individuals to turn to for information and advice. The word "whom" is used to refer to the people being turned to in this context. "Whom" is a pronoun used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. In this case, the verb is "turn to," and the people being turned to are the object of that verb. Therefore, "whom" is the most appropriate pronoun to use to refer to those individuals. Example: "I have always found that it is helpful to have a few wise and trusted people whom you can turn to for information and advice."

Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Christopher Marlowe, the son of Marlowe who is described as the clerk of St Mary's in the city of Canterbury, was born in 1564. He received his early education at The King's School in that city. He took the degrees of B.A. and M.A. in 1583 and 1587 respectively from Cambridge University. He started writing poems and became a renowned dramatist in the Admiral's Company.
Marlowe is known as one of the university wits, a group of dramatists along with Robert Greene, Thomas Nash, and George Peele. Marlowe is considered the greatest precursor to Shakespeare. When Marlowe came upon the English stage, the nature of drama was undeveloped. The verses in the dramas were lifeless. But Marlowe gave English drama an appropriate meter, diction, and method. It is really a matter of speculation what kind of greatness he would have achieved if his life had not been terminated (C++) in a duel after a brawl in a tavern (inn).
The literary life of Marlowe had a short span, from 1587 to 1593. During this period, he wrote five plays which were all tragedies as he had no comic vein. His tragedies like Dr Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Edward Il are rated as some of the best works of the Elizabethan age. He also wrote an unfinished poem Hero and Leander and translated some parts of Ovid's (a Roman Poet) elegies.
Marlowe's subjects are mostly heroic which appeals to the imagination of the play-goers. His heroes epitomize the spirit of the Renaissance. Each of them embodies a passion and tries to achieve lies in his development of the blank verse. He put it at any cost. But Marlowe's chief contribution aside from the old rhyming lines then employed in the plays and used blank verse. Thus, the language of drama was brought closer to real life and drama was made ready for Shakespeare (1564-1616) to improve upon it. It is rightly said, "No Marlowe, no Shakespeare".

Detalles de la respuesta
When your bank account is "in the red", it means that you have spent more money than you have in your account. This is also sometimes referred to as being "overdrawn". Essentially, you have a negative balance in your account and owe the bank money. It's like writing a check or making a purchase with a debit card without enough money in your account to cover it, so the bank allows you to temporarily go into a negative balance. You will usually incur fees for having an overdrawn account, so it's important to keep track of your spending and make sure you have enough money in your account to cover your transactions.

The option that best completes the sentence is "he." The sentence is in the form of a subject-verb-object sentence, where the subject is the person or thing doing the action, the verb is the action being done, and the object is the person or thing receiving the action. In this sentence, the action is "killed the goat," and the object is "the goat." The missing word is the subject of the sentence, and it refers to the person who performed the action of killing the goat. The pronoun "he" is the subject pronoun used for males, and it fits the context of the sentence. To contrast, "his" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership, "him" is an object pronoun used as the receiver of an action, and "us" is a pronoun used to refer to a group of people including the speaker. None of these options fits the context of the sentence as well as "he."

The underlined word "parsimonious" means being very careful with money or resources and reluctant to spend them. An individual who is parsimonious is often seen as someone who is unwilling to spend money even when it is necessary or beneficial.

Generosity means being willing to give or share more than is expected or necessary, often demonstrating a liberal or ample disposition towards the distribution of resources. A generous individual is one who is willing to spend money when necessary and share resources with others. Therefore, option D, "generous," is the correct answer.
