weather
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that has the same consonant sound as the underlined letters in "weather" is "brother". The underlined letters in "weather" are "th", which represents a voiceless dental fricative consonant sound.

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that has the same consonant sound(s) as the one represented by the letters underlined in "ton" is "knock." The underlined consonant sound in "ton" is /n/. The word "knock" also contains the /n/ sound at the end of the word. The other options, "hymn," "pink," and "sing," do not have the same consonant sound as "ton."

The word "sing" has a /s/ sound at the beginning and a /g/ sound at the end, which are different from the /n/ sound in "ton."

The children .........in the pool after school.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct word to use in the blank in the sentence is "swam". The sentence describes an action that happened in the past, so we need to use the past tense of the verb "to swim". The past tense of "to swim" is "swam", so we say "The children swam in the pool after school." The word "swum" is also the past participle of "to swim", but it is not used in the simple past tense. It is used in perfect tenses, such as "The children have swum in the pool every day this week." The word "swimming" is a present participle and is used to describe an ongoing action. For example, "The children were swimming in the pool when it started raining." The word "swim" is the base form of the verb and is used for present tense or to indicate future tense. For example, "I swim every morning for exercise" or "The children will swim in the pool tomorrow".

Pergunta 13 Relatório
In spite of all their shortcomings, we cannot ... admire them.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct word to fill in the blank is "but". The sentence expresses that although the subject has some flaws or negative qualities, we still find them worthy of admiration or respect. The word "but" is used to indicate a contrast or opposition between the two parts of the sentence. It acknowledges the shortcomings of the subject, but goes on to suggest that there are other qualities that outweigh those negative aspects and deserve admiration. For example, we might say "She's not perfect, but we can't help but admire her hard work and dedication." Here, we recognize that the person has flaws, but we still find them admirable because of their other positive qualities.

Obi's behaviour is questionable
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is nearest in meaning to "questionable" in the sentence is "dubious".

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "rebuked" and that correctly fills the gap in the sentence is "commended." "Rebuke" means to express sharp disapproval or criticism of someone. Therefore, if the old man rebuked the thug and his children, it means he scolded or reprimanded them for something they did wrong. On the other hand, "commend" means to praise or express approval of someone. So, if the old man had commended the thug and his children, it would have meant he praised or approved of something they did right. Therefore, the correct answer is "commended," which is the option that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "rebuked." The other options, "embraced," "thanked," and "supported," are not antonyms of "rebuked" and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Identify the one with the different stress pattern
Detalhes da Resposta
The word with a different stress pattern is "purpose." In English, stress patterns or accents refer to the emphasis we give to certain syllables in a word when we speak. Most words in English have one or more syllables that are pronounced with more emphasis or force than others. The stress pattern for the first three words, "reduce," "prolong," and "remove," follows a common pattern in English. The stress is on the second syllable, with the first syllable pronounced less forcefully and the remaining syllables pronounced even less forcefully. However, the word "purpose" has a different stress pattern. The stress is on the first syllable, and the remaining syllables are pronounced less forcefully. Therefore, the word "purpose" has a different stress pattern compared to the other three words.

Although some students may be innocent, ______are guilty of this offence.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that correctly fills the blank in the sentence is "most." The sentence implies that there is a group of students who have committed an offence, but not all of them are guilty. The word "most" is used to refer to a majority or largest portion of a group. So, it means that while some students are innocent, the largest portion of the group of students is guilty of the offence. The other options, "much," "great deal," and "a good deal," do not convey the same meaning as "most" in this context. "Much" implies a large quantity, but not necessarily a majority. "Great deal" and "a good deal" refer to a large amount or degree, but not specifically to a majority of a group. Therefore, the correct answer is "most."

The word that best completes the sentence "His thoughtlessness is simply beyond _____" is "belief." The sentence implies that the person's thoughtlessness is so extreme that it is difficult to comprehend or explain.

In this case, the sentence suggests that it is hard to believe how thoughtless the person can be. The other options, such as "idea," "assurance," and "fate," do not fit well in the context of the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is "belief."

Occasionally, universities award _____ degrees to outstanding personalities.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct word to complete the sentence is "honorary." The word "honorary" refers to something given as an honor or a recognition of achievement, without the usual requirements or obligations. In the context of the sentence, the word "honorary" fits well as universities do award degrees to outstanding personalities as a recognition of their accomplishments, even though they may not have fulfilled all the academic requirements for the degree. The other options, "ceremonial," "temporary," and "respectable," do not fit well in the sentence because they do not convey the same meaning as "honorary." "Ceremonial" suggests a formality or a ceremonial occasion, but it does not necessarily connote recognition or achievement. "Temporary" means something that is not permanent, and it does not relate to the context of awarding degrees. "Respectable" means something worthy of respect or approval, but it does not fit in the context of the sentence as it does not convey the idea of recognition or achievement through an honor. Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "honorary."

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that wil, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.
There was agitation for the .......... law on libel to be re-enacted.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "enacted" and can correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "repealed." Explanation: The sentence is describing a situation where there was agitation for a certain law on libel to be re-enacted. The word "enacted" means to make a law or regulation official. The word that is the opposite of "enacted" is "repealed," which means to cancel or revoke a law. Therefore, the sentence should read "There was agitation for the repealed law on libel to be re-enacted." The other options - "enforced," "rejected," and "cancelled" - are not appropriate antonyms of "enacted" in this context.

Pergunta 132 Relatório
One of my . ..... is a lecturer in the university.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct answer is "sisters". The sentence is referring to more than one sister. To make the noun "sister" plural, the letter "s" must be added to the end of the word. Since the sentence is indicating that only one of the sisters is a lecturer in the university, the apostrophe and the letter "s" must be added after "sisters" to show possession. Therefore, the complete sentence should read: "One of my sisters is a lecturer in the university."

Freedom of movement is a ........ right of every citizen.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that best completes the sentence is "fundamental." Explanation: Fundamental refers to something that is essential, basic, and of utmost importance.

brutality
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that has the correct stress is "bru-TAL-i-ty." Explanation: Stress refers to the emphasis placed on a syllable or part of a word when it is pronounced. In the word "brutality," the second syllable, "TAL," is stressed, so the correct option is "bru-TAL-i-ty." This means that when you say the word out loud, you should place more emphasis on the "TAL" syllable than on the others.

Cases of malaria have been on the increase in recent times in your country. Write a letter to the Minister of Health, discussing your observation and suggesting at least three ways of curbing the disease.
Dear Minister of Health,
I am writing to bring to your attention the concerning increase in cases of malaria in our country. As a concerned citizen, I have observed a steady rise in the number of reported cases, and I believe it is crucial for the government to take urgent measures to curb the spread of this disease.
To address this issue, I suggest implementing the following measures:
Increased public awareness campaigns: Many people are unaware of the best practices to prevent malaria, such as using insecticide-treated bed nets, avoiding stagnant water and taking anti-malaria medication. By increasing public awareness campaigns through various media channels, we can educate people about the disease and how to prevent it.
Improved access to healthcare: Many people in rural areas lack access to healthcare facilities and medication. This makes it difficult for them to get proper treatment and prevent the spread of the disease. By increasing access to healthcare facilities, medication, and training healthcare workers, we can help people get the treatment they need.
Environmental management: Mosquitoes that transmit malaria breed in stagnant water, so it is essential to manage the environment to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. This can be achieved through measures such as draining stagnant water, proper waste management, and ensuring proper drainage systems in communities.
I believe that implementing these measures will go a long way in curbing the spread of malaria in our country. As a concerned citizen, I am willing to offer any assistance that may be required to help make these measures successful.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Write a story that ends with the statement: Better late than never.
Samantha always dreamt of becoming a successful artist, but she never had the courage to pursue her passion. She always believed that it was too late for her to start, especially after she got married and had children.
One day, Samantha's daughter came home from school with a drawing she made in her art class. Samantha was amazed at her daughter's talent and realized that she had been holding herself back all these years. She decided to enroll in an art class and started practicing every day.
It wasn't easy at first, but Samantha kept practicing and improving her skills. Eventually, she got the confidence to showcase her work to the world. She submitted her artwork to a local art exhibit and was thrilled when it got selected.
On the day of the exhibit, Samantha felt nervous but excited to show her work to the public. As people started to arrive, Samantha's confidence grew, and she felt proud of herself for pursuing her passion. Everyone who saw her artwork was impressed, and some even asked if they could buy her pieces.
Samantha realized that she had been missing out on so much by not pursuing her passion earlier, but she was grateful that she finally took the leap. She learned that it's never too late to start pursuing your dreams, and sometimes it's better to start late than never at all.
So she smiled, looked around, and thought to herself, "Better late than never."
