In the novel, Nwomiko was famous for her
Detalles de la respuesta
In Chukwuemeka Ike's The Potter's Wheel, Nwomiko was famous for her lack of spiritual powers. Throughout the novel, Nwomiko is portrayed as being somewhat of an outcast in her community because she does not possess the spiritual powers that many of the other villagers have. These powers are seen as a crucial part of village life, and those who possess them are highly respected and sought after. Nwomiko, however, does not have these powers and is therefore looked down upon by many of the other villagers. Despite this, Nwomiko is a strong and independent woman who refuses to be defined by her lack of spiritual powers. She is intelligent, resourceful, and determined, and she uses these qualities to overcome the many obstacles she faces throughout the novel. While she may not have the spiritual powers that others in her community have, Nwomiko is still able to make a significant impact on the lives of those around her through her strength of character and her unwavering determination.

In each of this question choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase underlined:
The plebs can be found in every society of the world.
Detalles de la respuesta
The opposite meaning of "plebs" is "elite". The word "plebs" is often used to refer to the common people or the lower class, whereas "elite" refers to the wealthy and powerful people in society. So, the statement "The plebs can be found in every society of the world" implies that the lower class exists in all societies, and the opposite meaning of this statement would be that the elite do not exist in every society of the world.

Detalles de la respuesta
The phrase "being ___ hand" is not a commonly used phrase, and it's difficult to determine the intended meaning without additional context. If the missing word was "out of hand," it could mean that the boy was out of control or behaving inappropriately. If the missing word was "on by hand," it doesn't make sense in this context as "on by" doesn't have a clear meaning. If the missing word was "up to hand," it also doesn't make sense in this context as "up to" doesn't have a clear meaning. If the missing word was "over at hand," it also doesn't make sense in this context as "over at" doesn't have a clear meaning. Overall, without more information, it's difficult to determine the most appropriate option to complete the sentence.

Umar: I have never visted the dentist Aliyu: _______.
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option to complete the conversation is "neither have I." When Umar says he has never visited the dentist, Aliyu responds with "neither have I." This means that Aliyu also has not visited the dentist, and it is a way to show that the two people have something in common. The other options do not make sense in this context. "Neither myself" is not a grammatically correct phrase, and "l myself haven't" is not the correct word order for this type of sentence. "l also never" does not provide enough information to complete the conversation, and it is not clear what Aliyu is trying to say. Therefore, "neither have I" is the best option to complete the conversation, and it makes sense in the context of two people sharing a common experience.

Do you mind _______another hour or two?
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that best completes the gap is "waiting". The full sentence would be: "Do you mind waiting another hour or two?" The word "mind" in this context means to be bothered or to have an objection to something. In this case, the speaker is asking if the listener would be bothered by waiting for another hour or two. The verb "waiting" is the correct form to use after "mind" because it functions as a gerund, which is a verb form that acts as a noun. In this sentence, "waiting" is the object of the verb "mind". Option "wait" is not correct because it is an infinitive form of the verb and doesn't fit grammatically with the sentence structure. Option "to wait" is also an infinitive form and doesn't fit as well as "waiting" in this sentence. Option "to have waited" is a past participle and doesn't fit the tense of the sentence.

Music plays a vital role in human society. Good music provides entertainment and emotional release, and it accompanies activities ranging from dances to religious ceremonies. Music is heard everywhere; in auditoriums, homes, elevators, schools, sports arenas and on the streets. Recorded performance is a sensational innovation elevation of the twentieth century. Thanks to modern technology like compact disc (CD) digital video disc (DVD) and the MP 3 player, music can now be heard in divers places. Such places include living rooms and cars, jogging paths can also function as new kinds of concert halls where we can hear what we want as often as we want.
Live performances provide a special excitement. In a live performance artistes put themselves on the line. To avoid embarrassment, the artiste must train before hand and ensure that technical difficulties are avoided and that the listeners are actively involved. What is performed, how it sounds to the excitement of such a moment and feelings are exchanged between stage and hall.
Our response to a musical performance or an artiste is subjective and rooted in deep feelings. Even professional critics can differ strongly in their evaluations of a performance. There is no one ''Truth'' about what we hear and feel. Does the performed project a concept, an overall idea, or an emotion? Do some sections of a piece, but not others, communicate something to you? Can you figure out why? It is up to us as listeners to evaluate performances of music so that we can fully enjoy it. People listen to music in many different ways. For instance, music can be a barely perceived background as in a film or a totally absorbing experience as in a concert.

It was very easy for the two political parties from a_______Government.
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that best completes the gap is "coalition." A coalition government is formed when two or more political parties come together to form a majority in a governing body. This is often done when no single party has been able to win a majority in an election on their own. In this context, it would make sense that it was "very easy" for the two political parties to form a coalition government, as they were able to work together to form a majority. "Collusion" refers to a secret agreement between two or more parties, usually for an illegal or dishonest purpose. This would not be an appropriate word to use in the given sentence. "Co-operative" refers to people or organizations working together for a common purpose. While a coalition government could be described as a type of co-operative effort, it is not the most fitting word choice for the sentence. "Colonial" refers to something related to a colony or colonies, which is not relevant to the given sentence.

In 1951, the Government decided to start a Pottery Training Centre where new and more advantaged technical methods, especially glazing, could be taught. The centre was intended to serve the whole of the defunct Northern Region, and there were several reasons for choosing Abuja . The first was the excellence of the traditional pottery made in the Emirate. Secondly, firewood is plentiful; this is a most important consideration, because in the making of glazed pottery, more firewood than clay is required. Thirdly, there are good clays, and good local sources for the raw materials needed for the glazes. Fourthly, water, which is another important raw material, is plentiful. Finally, Abuja is in a central position for the whole region and is a town where learners from many different parts can find a congenial temporary home, and where the Emir and his Council are actively interested in the project.
Nearly all the making is done by a process called throwing;, so called because the lumps of clay are thrown the potter onto a wheel-head. They are weigh out so that each pot will be roughly the same size; for example, for making pint-sized jugs, the lumps of clay will be one and a half kilogrammes. The potter sits on the saddle of the wheel and spins it by pushing a pedal with his left foot. He has a bowl of water, a loofah, a bamboo knife, a pointed stick or porcupine quill, a wooden-smoothing tool which potters call a rib, and a piece of wire-like object that is used for wedging. He makes the wheel-heal slightly damp, and throws the lumps into the middle. The first work is to force the lump to the centre, then he presses his thumb into the middle of the lump, using water to keep it slippery. When the bottom is of the right thickness, he begins to draw up the walls until they are of the right height. Then he shapes the belly and shoulder of the pot. He trims off any waste clay. In this way, a small and medium-sized pot can be made quickly and accurately.

One reason for choosing Abuja as a pottery training centre was its proximity to raw materials. There were good clays and local sources for the raw materials needed for the glazes, and water was plentiful.

Abuja was also in a central position for the whole region and had a welcoming community.

The most appropriate answer in number 18 is "shockwaves." A shockwave is a type of wave that is created when a large amount of energy is released in a short amount of time. In the context of a hydrogen bomb explosion, the hot gases expand rapidly and compress the air around them, creating a shockwave. This shockwave is responsible for much of the destructive power of the weapon. A shockwave is not to be confused with "shock therapy," which refers to a medical treatment, or "shocktroops," which refers to a type of military unit, or "hockjocks," which is a term that doesn't have a widely known definition.

Secondly, firewood is plentiful; this is a most important consideration, because in the making of glazed pottery, more firewood than clay is required. Thirdly, there are good clays, and good local sources for the raw materials needed for the glazes. Fourthly, water, which is another important raw material, is plentiful. Finally, Abuja is in a central position for the whole region and is a town where learners from many different parts can find a congenial temporary home, and where the Emir and his Council are actively interested in the project.
Nearly all the making is done by a process called throwing;, so called because the lumps of clay are thrown the potter onto a wheel-head. They are weigh out so that each pot will be roughly the same size; for example, for making pint-sized jugs, the lumps of clay will be one and a half kilogrammes. The potter sits on the saddle of the wheel and spins it by pushing a pedal with his left foot. He has a bowl of water, a loofah, a bamboo knife, a pointed stick or porcupine quill, a wooden-smoothing tool which potters call a rib, and a piece of wire-like object that is used for wedging. He makes the wheel-heal slightly damp, and throws the lumps into the middle. The first work is to force the lump to the centre, then he presses his thumb into the middle of the lump, using water to keep it slippery. When the bottom is of the right thickness, he begins to draw up the walls until they are of the right height. Then he shapes the belly and shoulder of the pot. He trims off any waste clay. In this way, a small and medium-sized pot can be made quickly and accurately.

The sentence is in the past tense, "Usman would have won the race," which means that the missing phrase should also be in the past tense. "If he had run fast" is the correct form of the third conditional, which describes a hypothetical situation in the past that did not happen. In this case, the sentence suggests that Usman did not win the race, and the missing phrase is describing a condition that would have had to be met in order for him to win. "Only if he could run fast" is not the correct form of the third conditional, and it suggests a present ability that Usman may or may not have. "If he can run faster" is the incorrect verb tense for the sentence, as it is in the present tense and not the past tense. "Although he ran fast" suggests that Usman ran fast but still did not win the race, which is not consistent with the idea that he would have won if a certain condition had been met. This makes this option an inappropriate choice for completing the sentence.

Answer the following question, choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined:
The athlete is proud to be in the vanguard of sports development.
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word "vanguard" is "leading position." "Vanguard" means the forefront or leading position of a movement, field, or activity. In this context, the sentence is saying that the athlete is proud to be in the leading position of sports development, meaning that they are at the forefront of progress in the field of sports. "Destructive position," "emerging position," and "unforgettable position" are not correct because they do not convey the same meaning as "vanguard."
