From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The boy must have _________the disease from the school.
Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "contracted." "Contracted" is the correct word to use when we talk about getting a disease. It means to become infected with a disease or illness. So when we say "the boy must have contracted the disease from the school," we mean that he likely got the disease from someone or something at the school. The other options do not fit as well in the context of the sentence. "Received" implies that the boy got the disease intentionally or as a gift, which is not the case here. "Taken" is not typically used to describe getting a disease, but rather means to have something with you or to have moved something from one place to another. "Carried" can refer to spreading a disease, but not to getting it in the first place.

Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option is "sceptical." The sentence suggests that the speaker's mother is optimistic about the success of the business, but her manager is not convinced. The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "convinced" is "sceptical," which means having doubts or reservations about something.

The other options, such as "serious," "confused," and "concerned," are not opposite in meaning to "convinced" and do not fit the context of the sentence.

The best option to complete the sentence is "little." The word "little" means "not much" or "hardly at all," which is appropriate in the context of the sentence. To avoid trouble, it is best to say very little on the case, meaning that it is better to say as little as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Detalles de la respuesta
The correct word that best completes the sentence is "instigated." To "instigate" means to encourage or provoke someone to do something, usually something negative or harmful. In this sentence, the investigations revealed that the senior students encouraged or provoked the juniors to throw stones at the Principal's car. Therefore, "instigated" is the appropriate word to use here. The other options do not fit in the sentence context as well. "Infuriated" means to make someone extremely angry, which does not make sense in this sentence. "Integrated" means to combine or bring together, which is not relevant to the situation described in the sentence.

The word that best completes the sentence is "wouldn't she". This phrase is a conditional sentence, where the first part "if she had known" states a hypothetical situation, and the second part "wouldn't she have come" states the result of that situation. The word "wouldn't" is a contraction of "would not", and it expresses a negative possibility. So, the sentence as a whole means "If she had known the information, she wouldn't have gone to the place." In summary, the word "wouldn't she" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence because it conveys the idea of a negative possibility in a hypothetical situation.

The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /a:/ is "heart."

The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "When the show was about to begin, we were still at sixes and sevens" is that we were confused. The phrase "at sixes and sevens" is an idiomatic expression that means to be in a state of confusion or disorder. In this context, it suggests that the speaker and others were not ready for the show despite its impending start. Therefore, the sentence implies that the speaker and their companions were confused, disorganized, or unprepared, which is why they were still "at sixes and sevens" when the show was about to start.

Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "somebody else's." The sentence is advising the listener to not interfere with other people's affairs, and the phrase "mind your own business" implies that they should focus on their own concerns. The word "else" indicates that the listener should not be concerned with someone or something in addition to their own affairs. The correct phrasing for possession in English is to use an apostrophe-s ('s) after the possessor. Therefore, the correct option is "somebody else's," which shows that the listener should not interfere with something that belongs to someone else. Option A, "somebody's else," is not grammatically correct, and the word order is incorrect. Option C, "somebody's else's," is also not grammatically correct and repeats the possessive marker apostrophe-s ('s) twice. Option D, "somebody else," does not convey the possessive relationship and does not fit with the sentence's meaning, which is to avoid meddling in other people's affairs.

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "gullible" and fits in the sentence is "discerning." "Gullible" means easily fooled or deceived, so "discerning" would mean having good judgement and the ability to see through deception. This fits in the sentence because the sentence says that those who are not gullible are the ones who don't fall prey to tricksters, and having good judgement would make someone less likely to be tricked.

Detalles de la respuesta
The sentence "The culprits _______ when we entered the courtroom" suggests that the action of interrogation was happening at the time when the speaker entered the courtroom. Out of the options provided, the only choice that correctly conveys this idea is "were being interrogated." This phrase is in the past continuous tense, which indicates an ongoing action in the past. The option "are being interrogated" suggests that the action is happening currently, which does not match the past tense of the sentence. The option "will be interrogated" suggests that the action will happen in the future, which also does not match the past tense of the sentence. Finally, the option "would be interrogated" is in the conditional mood, which suggests that the action is dependent on a hypothetical situation that is not presented in the sentence. Therefore, it is not a suitable choice to complete the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "were being interrogated."

population
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct stress for the word "population" is po-pu-LA-tion, which means that the emphasis is on the third syllable. When you say the word out loud, you should hear a slightly louder and longer emphasis on the "LA" syllable. To understand stress in words, it is important to note that stress is the emphasis or prominence given to a particular syllable or part of a word when it is pronounced. Some words have a strong stress on the first syllable, while others have a strong stress on the second or third syllable. In the case of "population," the stress falls on the third syllable "LA."
Pregunta 78 Informe
In the following options lettered A to D, all the words except one have the same stress pattern. Identify the one with the different stress pattern.
Detalles de la respuesta
The word with a different stress pattern is "convalesce." Explanation: In English, the stress pattern of a word is the emphasis placed on one syllable over the others. For example, in the word "prevalent," the stress is on the second syllable (PREV-a-lent). Similarly, the stress in "circumstance" is on the first syllable (CIR-cum-stance), and in "relegate," it's on the second syllable (REL-e-gate). However, in "convalesce," the stress falls on the second-to-last syllable (con-va-LESCE). This means that it has a different stress pattern compared to the other words listed, which have the stress on the syllable before the last one. Example: I hope my grandma will convalesce quickly after her surgery.

Judgement should always be in favour of the innocent and not the_________
Detalles de la respuesta
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "innocent" and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "guilty". The word "innocent" means "not guilty of a crime or offense", so the word "guilty" means "having committed a crime or offense". The sentence is saying that judgment should always be in favor of the person who is not guilty, rather than in favor of the person who has committed a crime or offense.

choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
She hates________waiting.
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is "being kept." The sentence is in the present tense, and it describes a current feeling of hatred towards waiting. The phrase "being kept" is a present participle that functions as an adjective to modify the noun "waiting." This construction implies that the subject is currently experiencing the feeling of hatred while waiting. The other options do not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence or are in the wrong tense.

choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
You will surely help me with my work,_________?
Detalles de la respuesta
The best option to complete the sentence is "won't you." The sentence is a request for assistance, and the phrase "will you" indicates a willingness to help. However, since the speaker is confident that the listener will help, they use the negation "won't you" to express a positive expectation that the listener will assist them. Therefore, the sentence with the option "won't you" reads: "You will surely help me with my work, won't you?" and expresses the speaker's expectation for the listener to provide assistance.

As one of the outgoing prefects In your school, Write a speech you would deliver at the send-off ceremony for prefects, on the topic: The Challenges of Prefectship.
Dear fellow prefects, teachers, and students,
As we come to the end of our tenure as prefects, I want to take a moment to reflect on the challenges that come with the role of a prefect.
Firstly, being a prefect is not an easy task. We are expected to maintain discipline, serve as role models, and be a source of guidance and support for our fellow students. These responsibilities require a lot of hard work, dedication, and self-discipline.
Secondly, we often face difficult situations that test our leadership skills. We may have to deal with conflicts between students, manage stressful situations, and make tough decisions. These situations can be challenging, but they also provide us with valuable opportunities to learn and grow as leaders.
Lastly, being a prefect can sometimes feel like a thankless job. We may put in long hours and face criticism from our peers, but it is important to remember that our efforts are making a difference in the lives of our fellow students and in the school community as a whole.
Despite these challenges, being a prefect has been an incredibly rewarding experience. We have had the privilege of serving our school, developing our leadership skills, and making lasting friendships with our fellow prefects.
So, as we say goodbye to our roles as prefects, I want to thank all of my fellow prefects for their hard work and dedication. Together, we have made a difference in the lives of our fellow students and contributed to the success of our school.

Write a letter to the Editor of a national newspaper discussing the positive impact of the computer on education.
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my opinion on the positive impact of computers on education. With the rise of technology in recent years, computers have become an essential tool in modern-day education. They have brought about a great transformation in the way students learn and teachers teach.
Firstly, computers have made learning more interactive and engaging. With the help of multimedia tools such as videos, animations, and simulations, students can now visualize and understand complex concepts in a much better way than traditional teaching methods. This has greatly improved student performance and academic achievement.
Secondly, computers have made education more accessible and flexible. With the introduction of online learning platforms, students can now access learning materials from anywhere and at any time. This has made it easier for students who have other commitments to balance their schedules and continue their education.
Lastly, computers have also opened up new avenues for collaboration and communication. With the help of social media platforms and online forums, students can now interact with their peers and teachers beyond the confines of the classroom. This has fostered a sense of community and encouraged the sharing of ideas and knowledge.
In conclusion, computers have had a significant positive impact on education. They have made learning more interactive, accessible, and collaborative. It is therefore important that we continue to embrace and utilize this technology to improve the quality of education and prepare our students for the challenges of the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Write a story that ends With the statement: I wish I had listened to my parents.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Sarah. She was full of energy, excitement, and always eager to explore the world. However, Sarah often disregarded the advice of her parents and did things her own way.
One day, Sarah heard about a shortcut to reach her friend's house. It was a secluded path through the woods, but everyone said it was faster. Despite her parents warning her about the dangers of taking that path, Sarah took the shortcut anyway.
As she walked through the woods, Sarah started to feel uneasy. The path was dark and creepy, and she heard strange noises coming from the bushes. But she kept walking, thinking she was just being paranoid.
Suddenly, Sarah heard a loud growl. Before she could even react, a wild animal jumped out from behind a tree and attacked her. Sarah screamed for help, but no one was around. She managed to fight off the animal, but she was badly injured.
After what seemed like hours, Sarah finally made it back to civilization and was taken to the hospital. As she lay in her hospital bed, Sarah realized how foolish she had been. She should have listened to her parents and taken the safe route to her friend's house.
From that day on, Sarah never disregarded the advice of her parents again. She learned that sometimes, their wisdom and experience could save her from harm. Sarah realized that she should have listened to them all along. She wished she had listened to her parents.

Occasionally, he would work till late evening as a labourer on someone's farmland. Returning, he would bring home pepper, vegetables and firewood. Interestingly, he had a father, who spend more time working from cockcrow till dusk on large commercial farmlands.

Write an article suitable for publication in a national newspaper on the menace of secret cults in our schools and colleges.
Secret cults have become a major menace in schools and colleges across the country. The activities of these cults have caused untold hardship and sorrow to both students and their families. The situation has become so alarming that urgent measures need to be taken to address it.
These secret cults are known for their violent and criminal activities such as harassment, intimidation, and even murder. Students who refuse to join these cults often become targets of their wrath, and this has resulted in many cases of physical assault and even death.
Apart from the physical harm they inflict, these cults also have a negative impact on the academic performance of students. They engage in all sorts of illegal activities that distract students from their studies, leading to poor academic performance, and in some cases, dropping out of school.
The problem of secret cults in schools and colleges cannot be tackled by the authorities alone. Parents and guardians also have a critical role to play in eradicating this menace. They need to educate their children on the dangers of joining these cults and to discourage them from associating with individuals who are involved in cult activities.
Furthermore, the government needs to strengthen the legal framework to ensure that those who engage in cult activities face the full wrath of the law. Schools and colleges should also be equipped with the necessary security apparatus to ensure the safety of students.
In conclusion, the menace of secret cults in our schools and colleges is a serious threat to the future of our youth. It is our collective responsibility as a society to work together to put an end to this scourge. The time to act is now.

To curb the growing incidence of drug abuse among the youth, it is essential to address the root causes of the problem. Parents, schools, and communities need to work together to educate young people about the dangers of drug abuse and provide them with positive alternatives. Young people need to understand that there are other ways to cope with stress and problems that do not involve drugs.
Parents can play a critical role in preventing drug abuse among their children by being involved in their lives, talking to them about drug abuse, and setting clear expectations for behavior. Schools can also play a crucial role by providing drug education programs and support services for students who may be struggling with drug abuse.
In conclusion, drug abuse among the youth is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. By working together, parents, schools, and communities can help prevent drug abuse and provide young people with the support they need to make positive choices for their future. Let us all take responsibility for our young people's welfare, and ensure that drug abuse does not rob them of their health, happiness, and future.

Dear Uncle,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to share an exciting business idea that I have been working on and to ask for your financial assistance to help me make it a reality.
The business idea is to start a food truck that serves healthy and delicious meals to people on-the-go. The food truck would be equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen and would serve a variety of meals that cater to different dietary needs and preferences. I believe that there is a huge demand for healthy food options, especially among busy professionals who don't have the time to prepare meals at home.
To get this business off the ground, I need some financial assistance. I have already conducted market research, developed a business plan, and identified potential locations for the food truck. However, I need funds to purchase the truck, equipment, and supplies, as well as cover other initial costs such as permits and licenses.
I am confident that this business idea has great potential, and I believe that with your financial assistance, I can make it a success. I would be happy to provide you with more information about the business plan and answer any questions you may have.
