Pergunta 1 Relatório
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that rhymes with the given word.
night
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that rhymes with "night" is "bite." Rhyming words have the same vowel sound in the final syllable and the same ending sound in the consonants. In this case, "night" and "bite" have the same long "i" sound in the final syllable and the same "t" ending sound. Therefore, "bite" is the correct option. To help remember the rhyming sound, you can think of phrases like "take a bite at night" or "a mosquito bite at night."
Pergunta 2 Relatório
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
The sick man was ____ emaciated that i could hardly recognize him.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word "so" is the best option to complete the sentence. "So" is an adverb that means to such an extent or degree. In this sentence, "so emaciated" means the sick man was extremely thin and weak. It emphasizes how severe his condition was, and this is what the sentence is trying to convey. Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "The sick man was so emaciated that I could hardly recognize him."

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
He would rather resign _____ part in such a dishonest deal.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option is "than take". In the sentence, the speaker is saying that he would prefer to resign from taking part in a dishonest deal rather than actually taking part in it. The phrase "would rather" indicates a preference for one option over another. The word "than" is used to introduce the preferred option, which is "resign". The verb "take" in the other options is not in the correct form to match with the subject "he". The correct form would be "takes", but that still wouldn't be appropriate in the context of the sentence. So, the best option that completes the sentence is "than take".

Each time he opens his mouth, he _____ something foolish.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option to complete the sentence is "says." In this sentence, we need a verb that matches the present tense of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is "he," which is singular and third-person, and the tense is present. The only option that matches both the tense and subject-verb agreement is "says." "Saying" is the present participle form of the verb and could be used in a different sentence structure, but it doesn't fit in this sentence as the main verb. "Said" is the past tense of the verb and doesn't match the present tense of the sentence. "Say" is the base form of the verb and doesn't match the third-person singular subject "he."

Frank was _____ in the riot because his books were found at the scene.
Detalhes da Resposta
The best word that completes the sentence is "implicated". To be implicated in something means to be involved in it, usually in a negative way. In this case, Frank's books were found at the scene of a riot, which suggests that he was somehow involved in the riot. The word "caught" could also make sense in this context, but it doesn't imply that Frank was necessarily involved in the riot, just that he was found at the scene. The words "balmed" and "grafted" have no relation to the sentence and do not fit the context.

Two boys in the art class were doing self-potraits by looking at ____ in the mirror.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option to complete the sentence is "themselves." The sentence is talking about two boys who were doing self-portraits, which means they were drawing or painting pictures of themselves. Therefore, they were looking at themselves in the mirror, not at each other, one another, or oneself. The word "themselves" is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, which in this case is "two boys." It is the only option that correctly reflects the fact that the boys were doing self-portraits and looking at themselves in the mirror. "Each other" and "one another" both refer to multiple people looking at each other, which is not what the sentence is describing. "Oneself" would be used if each boy was drawing a picture of himself but not looking in the mirror.

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that has the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient" is "sachet". The "t" sound in "patient" is an unvoiced alveolar stop consonant. The "ch" sound in "sachet" is also an unvoiced alveopalatal affricate consonant, which means that both sounds are produced by blocking the airflow at a specific place in the mouth and then releasing it suddenly. Therefore, "sachet" has the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient". The other options, "measure", "seizure", and "patent", do not have the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient".

Option D, "shielding," is the most suitable word to fill the gap numbered 74 in the passage. The context of the sentence suggests that the farmer is protecting the crops from pests, which indicates the need for a word that means to provide a barrier or protection. "Defending" and "covering" could both work in this context, but "shielding" more accurately conveys the idea of protecting the crops from harm. "Screening" does not fit the context as it implies the use of a mesh or net to prevent insects from entering, which is not specified in the passage.

In the following passage, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below the passage, four options are given in columns lettered A to D. Choose word that is the most suitable to fill 79 in the passage.
Detalhes da Resposta
The most suitable option to fill the missing word 79 in the passage is "healthy". In the passage, the author describes the physical demands of farming, which include battling the land, fighting weeds and pests, and preparing crops for long months. These physical rigours demand that the farmer is constantly kept healthy, and his muscles remain well shaped. The clean air surrounding the farmer ensures that his eyes remain sharp, his breath is pure, and his immunity level is always high. Therefore, the word "healthy" best fits in the context of the passage. The other options, such as "huge," "alert," and "stout," do not fit well in the context of the passage, and they do not accurately describe the physical demands of farming or the benefits of being a farmer.

_______ I would love to be at your party, I really can't
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the sentence appropriately is "As much as" The sentence means that the speaker would like to attend the party but is unable to for some reason. The correct phrase to use in this context is "As much as," which is an idiomatic expression that means "although" or "even though." It is used to introduce a contrast or concession, as in this sentence, where the speaker is expressing a desire to attend the party, but there is a reason why they cannot go. Option A, "In as much as," is not appropriate because it means "because" or "since," which does not fit the context of the sentence. Option C, "Much as," is also not appropriate because it is missing the word "as," which is necessary to form the correct phrase. Option D, "As much," is not appropriate because it does not convey the contrast or concession that the speaker is expressing in the sentence. In summary, the correct option that completes the sentence is "As much as."

Detalhes da Resposta
The correct phrase to complete the sentence is "neither me nor him." This phrase correctly uses the conjunction "neither" to connect two items, in this case "me" and "him." The phrase "neither I nor he" is also grammatically correct, but it sounds more formal and less conversational. The phrase "either I nor him" is incorrect because "either" is used to present alternatives, while "neither" is used to negate both alternatives. The phrase "neither me or him" is also incorrect because it uses "or" instead of "nor."

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is most suitable to fill the blank at number 76 is "vagaries" (Option D). The sentence talks about the uncertainties of weather and soil that can easily defeat someone who is faint-hearted. The word "vagaries" means unexpected and unpredictable changes or fluctuations, especially in the context of the weather. Thus, it is the most appropriate word to describe the unpredictability and variability of weather and soil conditions that farmers have to deal with. The other options do not fit in the context. "Ways" and "fancies" do not convey the intended meaning, while "adjustments" does not fit well with the sentence structure.

Detalhes da Resposta
The underlined vowel sound in "maize" is pronounced as /eɪ/. The word that has the same vowel sound as "maize" is "tray" because it also has the /eɪ/ vowel sound. To be more specific, the vowel sound in "maize" is a diphthong, which means it is a combination of two vowel sounds: /e/ and /ɪ/. However, in English, the letter "a" followed by the letter "i" often produces the /eɪ/ sound, as it does in "maize" and "tray." The other options, "step," "what," and "whip," have different vowel sounds. "Step" has the /ɛ/ sound, "what" has the /ɒ/ sound, and "whip" has the /ɪ/ sound.

A farmer needs a place to store the harvested crops to protect them from moisture and pests, and barns are ideal for this purpose. Therefore, option A, "barns," is the correct answer. The other options, such as huts, pits, and shelters, do not fit the context as they do not provide the necessary protection for harvested crops.

Detalhes da Resposta
The most suitable word to fill the gap 80 in the passage is "bountiful". The word "bountiful" means plentiful or abundant. In this context, the passage is talking about the benefits of farming and how good harvests can ensure that a farmer is not poor. The word "generous" could also make sense in this context, but it doesn't convey the same sense of abundance as "bountiful". The words "overflowing" and "great" also convey a sense of abundance, but they are not as commonly used to describe a good harvest as "bountiful". Therefore, the correct answer is "bountiful".

The correct answer is "has." The sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. The word "has" is the helping verb used in the present perfect tense. In this sentence, the subject is "One of the muggers," which is singular.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
Young people are usually faced with several challenges as they grow up These challenges have increased dramatically as a result of the present impressive advances in science. The Internet and the mobile phone, for instance, have indeed reduced the whole world to a global village and given birth to social media. Social media itself has made it possible for anyone to instantly keep abreast with happenings all around the world.
But many people are worried that a lot of youths use social media in various negative ways that tend to ultimately increase the challenges they face in life. First, Internet chatting and dating have become common among youths, They spend valuable time in internet cafes or glued to their smart phones with the hope that through Skype or Facebook "luck" would come their way. The time wasted in this way could have been spent on studying and helping their parents with household chores.
Another downside of social media is the easy access to pornography that it offers. Attracted like gnats to bright light at night, many youths spend hours watching pornography This has the inevitable effect of corrupting their minds. in the fantasy world that pornography plunges them into. they care little for anything else. In the end, the casualties are their studies and their morals.
Again, youths are often driven by the "get rich quick" syndrome as they observe successful and affluent members of the society all around them who flaunt their wealth by driving expensive cars and living ostentatious lifestyles. Because many youths are seized by the irresistible desire to become like these people overnight, they readily resort to any available means to succeed, including cyber crime. Since face-to-face contact is not involved, it is easy for these misguided youths to plan and executive all manner of scams on social media.
What can be done to rescue the youths from these influences? First, parents have a crucial role to play. Many youths have improper home training and most parents leave their children to learn life's lessons on their own. They allow them to find solutions to their problems with minimal guidance. The reality is that the sooner parents change their method of raising children, the better.
Teachers also have to play a crucial role. Teachers should realize that just as parents take over the responsibility of teaching when their children are at home, they in turn become the youth's parents at school. They should therefore ensure not only that the right skills are taught the youth, but also that the right attitudes are instilled in them.
The society at large should also realize that at their impressionable age, youths are simply influenced by what they observe happening around them, whether good or bad. So, instead of emphasizing materialism and flaunting of wealth, the society's responsibility towards the youths should be mainly to instil in them its norms, customs and values through proper role modelling. Then the world will become a better place for the youth, because they will be able to control their own destiny.
(a) In three sentences, one for each, summarize the negative influences of social media on youths.
(b) In three sentences, one for each, summarize what must be done to rescue the youths from these influences.

When I was in primary four. thirty-five years ago, schools closed for the day at 1:30pm. My two friends and I would then proceed for 'full' recreation as we either played football in hidden neighbourhoods or went downstream to swim till dusk. The reprimands and occasional spankings we got from our mothers could not deter us. Our youthful adventurous spirit would not be suppressed.. We were resolute in our desire to be free of what we thought were too many chores. As far as we were concerned, that should be the preserve of the female gender.
One day we went fishing in a stream on the outskirts of the village after we had had our fill of entertainment playing football. We each caught some fish but were not satisfied: we wanted crabs which we could sell on our way back home to augment the meagre money for recess' that each of us got when going off to school every day. We caught two big crabs from the first two holes we dug before going for a third. Convinced that we had dug deep enough. the eldest of us dipped his right hand into the hole that was about three-quarters filled with water, and soon reported excitedly that he had made a big catch As he dragged it to the surface, we screamed in sudden terror. The 'big catch' was the fleshly middle part of a shimmering black snake! No one waited for the other as we scrambled for safety, leaving our other catch behind the boy splashed frantically through the water. falling over twice before reaching us on the bank of the stream None of us ventured back, more for fear of the snake than the dusk that had suddenly descended on the village.
When I got home, I met Mother. my two siblings and some anxious relations at the doorstep. They were about setting out to comb the entire village since their previous search to my school, my mates' homes and the few playgrounds n the village had been futile. The concerned look on Mother's face told me I had stirred up a hornets' nest and should be prepared for the sting. My muddy legs and hands betrayed the lie I had hurriedly cooked up. I got the beating of my life, first from Mother and then Father who came into the house and upon being told what had happened, went straight for the thick rubber he had wound around his bicycle carrier for tying loads.
