For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in bold:
The film was shot in decrepit police station.
Detalles de la respuesta
The opposite in meaning to "decrepit" is "improved." Therefore, the sentence with the opposite meaning would be "The film was shot in an improved police station." To explain, "decrepit" means something that is in a state of disrepair or is very old and worn out, while "improved" means something that has been made better or enhanced. So if the film was shot in an improved police station, it suggests that the police station was in a better condition than a decrepit one.

For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in italics:
It is important not to let mistakes blight your life
Detalles de la respuesta
The opposite in meaning to the word "blight" in the given sentence is "improve." When we say that mistakes can blight our lives, it means that our lives can be spoiled or negatively affected by these mistakes. Therefore, the opposite of "blight" would be something that has a positive impact, and that is "improve." So, the correct option is "improve." Hence, the sentence "It is important not to let mistakes blight your life" means that we should not allow our mistakes to ruin or damage our lives, but instead, we should focus on learning from them to improve ourselves.

For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in bold:
The idea makes me cringe.
Detalles de la respuesta
The opposite in meaning to the word "cringe" is "resolute". Explanation: When someone cringes, it means that they feel embarrassed, uncomfortable or ashamed. It's often accompanied by a physical reaction such as flinching or recoiling. Therefore, the opposite of "cringe" would be a feeling of determination, firmness, or resolve, which is the meaning of "resolute."

For these questions, choose the option that best complete the gap(s):
He decided to wait for the bus because he had_______.
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that best completes the sentence is "a lot of luggage". Explanation: The sentence talks about the reason why someone decided to wait for the bus. The word "luggage" refers to the bags or suitcases that someone is carrying. The phrase "too many" implies an excessive amount of luggage, which may not make sense in this context. "Many" and "plenty" both refer to a large number, but they do not fit grammatically with "luggage" since it is an uncountable noun. Therefore, the most appropriate phrase to complete the sentence is "a lot of luggage," which means that the person is carrying a significant amount of baggage.

For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in bold:
It is Iudicrous to suggest that she was a government agent.

The opposite in meaning to "ludicrous" is "sensible". When something is ludicrous, it means it is ridiculous, absurd or unbelievable. So, in this case, the statement "It is ludicrous to suggest that she was a government agent" means that the suggestion is ridiculous or absurd. Therefore, the opposite of ludicrous is sensible, which means logical, reasonable, or practical. If the statement were "It is sensible to suggest that she was a government agent," it would mean that the suggestion is reasonable or practical.

For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in italics:
The nation is in a period of economic flux
Detalles de la respuesta
The option opposite in meaning to "flux" is "stability". When something is described as being in a state of flux, it means that it is constantly changing and in a state of instability or uncertainty. In the context of the economy, a period of flux would mean that there is a lot of change and uncertainty in the market, such as shifts in consumer demand, changes in government policy, or fluctuations in the stock market. Therefore, the opposite of flux, which means stability, would indicate a period of consistency and predictability in the economy. This could mean that there are fewer major shifts or changes occurring, or that the market is experiencing a period of sustained growth or stability.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [...11...] above.Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [...11...] is "spectators". In the context of boxing, spectators are the people who come to watch the sport and observe the boxers fighting in the ring. Some people argue that boxing appeals to the lowest instincts in these spectators who enjoy watching the violence and bloodshed that can occur during a match. Option A, "agitators", does not accurately describe the role of those who come to watch boxing. Agitators are individuals who actively try to stir up trouble or provoke a reaction, and this term does not accurately reflect the behavior of most boxing spectators. Option B, "witnesses", is also not the best choice for this gap, as it does not capture the idea that the spectators are actively participating in the event by watching and reacting to the violence that occurs in the ring. Option C, "congregations", is not the best choice either, as it implies a religious or spiritual gathering rather than a sporting event. Therefore, the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [...11...] is "spectators", as it accurately describes the individuals who come to watch boxing matches and may enjoy the violent aspects of the sport.

During a boxing match, the boxers aim to punch their opponent's head and body with force to score points or knock their opponent out. The repetitive blows to the head can cause brain damage, which is a severe and often permanent injury that affects the boxer's cognitive and physical abilities. Therefore, the word "damage" best fits the context and meaning of the sentence.

_______ rich has its own problem.

The correct option is "Being rich has its own problem". This means that having a lot of money and wealth comes with its own set of difficulties and challenges. It suggests that being wealthy is not always a perfect or easy situation to be in, and that there are unique challenges that come with having a lot of money. For example, wealthy people may struggle with maintaining their relationships or finding true friends, as others may be envious or insincere. They may also face pressure to maintain their wealth and status, or to make difficult decisions about how to use their resources. Overall, the phrase "Being rich has its own problem" emphasizes that wealth is not a solution to all of life's challenges, and that even the wealthiest individuals face their own set of difficulties.

Students refused to sympathize with Efua when drinks spilled on her because
Detalles de la respuesta
It is likely that the students refused to sympathize with Efua because they felt she was arrogant. Arrogance refers to having an excessive sense of self-importance and a lack of consideration for others. If the students perceived Efua as arrogant, they may have felt that she did not deserve their sympathy or kindness, and therefore chose not to offer it. However, it is important to note that this is just one possibility and there could be other reasons for the students' behavior.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
Curiosity is as clear and definite as any of our urges. We wonder what is in a sealed telegram or in a letter which someone else is absorbed or what is being said in the telephone booth or in low conversation. This inquisitiveness is vastly stimulated by jealousy. Suspicion or any hint that we ourselves are directly or indirectly involved in. But there appears to be a fair amount of personal interest in other people's affairs even when they do not concern us except as a mystery to be unravelled or a tale to be told. The reports of a divorce suit will have news 'value' for many weeks, They constitute a story like a novel, a play or a moving picture. This is not an example of pure curiosity. However, since we readily identify ourselves with others' their joys and despair then become our own concern.

Curiosity is often stimulated by jealousy, suspicion, or personal involvement, but it can also be a way to identify with other people's experiences and emotions. Therefore, the correct option is (B) inborn.
