The correct option is "Estimates". This means that the World Health Organization is providing an educated guess or approximation of the number of Ugandans who are HIV positive, which is 1.8 million people. The use of the word "estimates" indicates that this number may not be exact, but it is the best estimate based on available data and analysis.

Bayanin Amsa
The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "intensive." The sentence suggests that Alice had been receiving proper treatment for her AIDS for three months, which implies that the treatment was more than just a basic or light form of care. "Intensive" means something that is thorough, concentrated, and focused on achieving a specific goal. In this context, it suggests that Alice was receiving a rigorous and demanding form of treatment for her AIDS, which ultimately helped her regain the will to live.

His many years of success in legal practise.... didn't come out without challenges
Bayanin Amsa
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "didn't come out without challenges, however". This is because the phrase "didn't come out without challenges" indicates that the person faced difficulties in their legal practice. The word "however" is used to show a contrast or contradiction to what came before, in this case, the success that the person achieved. Therefore, the complete sentence would read, "His many years of success in legal practice didn't come out without challenges, however."

There are still [virtous] women in our society today
Bayanin Amsa
The correct option is "upright." The sentence is describing women in our society today, and it states that there are still virtuous women. The word "virtuous" means having high moral standards or being righteous. It implies that these women possess good qualities such as honesty, integrity, and decency. , "devilish," has the opposite meaning of virtuous, and it implies that the women are wicked or evil. "clever," means having intelligence or quickness of mind, which is not directly related to morality. "intelligent," means having high mental capacity or being knowledgeable, which again is not directly related to morality. "upright," means honest, honorable, and morally correct, which is the closest in meaning to "virtuous." Therefore, "upright" is the correct option.
Tambaya 29 Rahoto
His many years of success in legal practise ........ didn't come out without challenges
Bayanin Amsa
The best word to complete the sentence would be "didn't come out without challenges" is "However". The word "however" is commonly used to introduce a contrast or a contradiction to the previous statement, which makes it an appropriate choice in this sentence. It indicates that despite the success achieved in legal practice over many years, there were still challenges that had to be faced. The other options could also fit in the sentence grammatically, but they wouldn't convey the intended meaning of a contradiction or contrast between the two parts of the sentence. For instance, "indeed" would be used to emphasize and confirm the truth of the statement made in the first part of the sentence. "But" would also introduce a contrast, but it would suggest a less strong opposition than "however". "In spite of all" would imply that there were challenges, but it wouldn't create the necessary contrast to the first part of the sentence.

READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.With its radiant color and plant-like shape, the sea anemone looks more like a flower than animal. More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like a flower for which is named, with body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades; blue, pink, green and red. Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

Bayanin Amsa
It can be inferred from the passage that sea anemones are attached to stationary surfaces. The passage states that sea anemones can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells, or wharf pilings.

There are three identifiable means of errors in mass communication. There is one done through the printed words, books, magazine and newspapers. The other is primarily radio, but also records and tape recordings. Also, it can be done through a combination of sound and pictures as in television, films and the more recently popular video tape.
Together, they are referred to as the mass media.
All media can be used to inform and entertain. However, there are coverts roles played. It may be to educate as in school broadcast. Again, the aim may be to persuade as when the media are used by advertisers or for political broadcasts. The media are often in strong position to influence public opinion because they select the topics to be presented and can stress the importance of one issue over the other.
The mass media have, in recent times, come under acerbic criticism. Many presenters have become not only conscientized but also immensely concerned about the possible effects that science of violence and bad behavior may have on their children. More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.

Bayanin Amsa
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "outskirts". This means that Alice and her family live on the edge of the city of Kampala, away from the central area or downtown. It suggests that they live in a less developed and less affluent part of the city, where there may be less access to basic services like healthcare and sanitation. The use of the word "shack" also implies that their living conditions are poor and inadequate.

Bayanin Amsa
Readers must see through the meanings of words and titles beyond their ordinarily usage where necessary. Aliya's drive home by Mr Bello is relevant not because of the drive but especially because Mr Bello used the opportunity of the informal atmosphere to educate his daughter about sexual maturity and the realities of life pictured by the hawking girls and their aspiration to be great in life.

Okibe was rusticated for his [derogatory] remark about the principal
Bayanin Amsa
The option that is nearest in meaning to the word "derogatory" in the sentence "Okibe was rusticated for his derogatory remark about the principal" is "unsavoury." Explanation: - The word "derogatory" means showing a critical or disrespectful attitude towards someone or something. - The word "unsavoury" means unpleasant or unpalatable, often in a moral or ethical sense. - In the context of the sentence, "unsavoury" suggests that Okibe's remark about the principal was offensive, distasteful, or morally unacceptable. - It implies that the remark was disrespectful and inappropriate, which led to Okibe's punishment. Therefore, "unsavoury" is the correct answer as it best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

Based on the context provided in the passage, the most appropriate word for the gap would be "hatch". A hatch is a small opening in the aircraft's structure that allows access to internal compartments or mechanical components. In this case, the emergency sheet was used to cover the improperly secured hatch, which suggests that the hatch was the problem area. The other options, such as door, entrance, and gate, do not fit the context of an improperly secured opening on an aircraft.
