The context of the passage suggests that the missing word refers to the area where the pilot is located, and the word "cockpit" is commonly used to describe this area in an aircraft. In addition, the subsequent actions of the pilot, such as pushing a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and calling the control to report the misshape, all suggest that he is operating from the cockpit of the plane. Therefore, "cockpit" is the most appropriate option for the gap.

At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane ....4.... north-east
Detalhes da Resposta
The sentence is describing what the pilot did in response to a mechanical issue with the aircraft. The phrase "activate automatic turning" suggests that the pilot used a button on the control panel to activate a feature that would cause the aircraft to turn automatically. The word "north-east" indicates the direction in which the aircraft turned. The word "veered" means to change direction suddenly, so it is the most appropriate option for the given context. Therefore, the correct option is "veered." The completed sentence would read: "At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane veered north-east."

The best word to complete the sentence would be "didn't come out without challenges" is "However".

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.

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.

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.

There are still [virtous] women in our society today
Detalhes da Resposta
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.

He was both a writer and a politician, but he was better ........ a singer
Detalhes da Resposta
The sentence is comparing the skills of the person as a writer, politician, and singer. The phrase "better as" means that the person was more skilled or talented in one area than the other areas being compared. The word "singer" is the only option that matches with the verb "better". Therefore, the correct option is "better as a singer." The completed sentence would read: "He was both a writer and a politician, but he was better as a singer."

The Ugandan AIDS Commission set up by President Museveni ..8...... the spread of the disease.
Detalhes da Resposta
The most appropriate option for this group is "monitors". The sentence states that the Ugandan AIDS Commission was set up by President Museveni to deal with the spread of the disease. The word "monitors" means to keep a close watch over something, which is exactly what the Ugandan AIDS Commission was created to do. The Commission's main role is to monitor the spread of HIV and AIDS in Uganda and to implement measures to prevent it from spreading further. The other options, "limits", "anticipates", and "increases", do not make sense in this context. The Ugandan AIDS Commission was not set up to limit or increase the spread of the disease, nor was it created to anticipate the spread of the disease.
