From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
As the opposing parties would not agree, the peace meeting....in confusion.
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option to complete the sentence is "broke up". "Broke up" means to disperse or end a meeting or gathering. In this sentence, the opposing parties were not able to agree, so the peace meeting ended in confusion. For example, if we say "The party broke up at midnight", we mean that the party ended or dispersed at midnight. Similarly, in the given sentence, the peace meeting was not successful and ended without any agreement, causing confusion. Therefore, "broke up" is the correct option to use.

After the sentence, a list of possible interpretations of all or part of the sentence is given. Choose the interpretation you consider appropriate for the sentence.
Despite the different economic measures taken by the government, the country is not yet out of the wood
Detalhes da Resposta
The appropriate interpretation for the sentence is that the country is not yet free from difficulties. The phrase "out of the woods" is an idiomatic expression that means being free from difficulties, danger or hardship. However, the sentence suggests that despite the different economic measures taken by the government, the country is still facing challenges or difficulties. Therefore, the correct option to choose is "not yet free from difficulties" because it explains the meaning of the idiom used in the sentence.

It is time we ... for the party.
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the sentence is "left." The sentence is in the past tense, which means the action has already happened. The word "left" is the past tense of "leave" and fits the context of the sentence. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the tense of the sentence. "Leave" is in the present tense, "have to leave" is in the present perfect tense, and "will leave" is in the future tense.
Pergunta 5 Relatório
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
The president's speech ... at 7pm yesterday
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the sentence is "was broadcast." The sentence is in the past tense, and the word "yesterday" in the sentence indicates that the action took place in the past. The verb tense that matches with the past tense is the past simple tense. Therefore, the most appropriate option that matches with the past simple tense is "was broadcast." Option A, "is broadcast," is in the present tense, which is not appropriate for a past event. Option B, "has been broadcast," is in the present perfect tense, which indicates that the action took place at an unspecified time before now. This tense is not appropriate because the sentence refers to a specific past time, which is yesterday. Option C, "were broadcast," is in the past simple tense, but the verb "were" is not appropriate because "the president's speech" is a singular subject, and "were" is for plural subjects. Therefore, "was broadcast" is the best option that completes the sentence. In conclusion, the correct sentence should be "The president's speech was broadcast at 7pm yesterday."
Pergunta 6 Relatório
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
He runs....
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option to complete the sentence is "rather too fast." "Rather" is an adverb used to indicate degree or extent, and "too" is also an adverb used to indicate excess or more than is desirable. In this context, the sentence is asking how fast he runs, and "rather too fast" suggests that he is running fast to an extent that is excessive or more than is desirable. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Rather much fast" is not grammatically correct and "quite rather fast" is redundant because "quite" and "rather" both indicate degree or extent. "Too rather fast" is also not grammatically correct and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the gap is "ensures." The sentence talks about a builder who is about to erect a building, and the word "then" indicates a sequence of events. The verb that best fits in the sentence should indicate an action that the builder takes to make sure that the bricks are of the recommended quality. The word "ensures" means making something certain to happen or guaranteeing it. Therefore, the best option that completes the gap is "ensures" because it implies that the builder takes the necessary steps to guarantee that the bricks are of the recommended quality. Option B, "assures," is not the best option because it means to tell someone that something is definitely true or is definitely going to happen, and it does not fit in the context of the sentence. Option C, "presumes," means to suppose something is true without evidence, which is not the right word to use in the sentence. Option D, "insures," means to protect something against loss or damage, which is not relevant to the sentence. Option E, "assumes," means to take for granted without verifying, which is not suitable in the context of the sentence. In conclusion, the correct sentence should be "He ensures that the bricks are of the recommended quality by checking them."

The correct option to complete the gap is "dug." The sentence mentions the process of building a structure and says that after deciding on the building materials, the foundation is then dug. This means that the ground is excavated or dug to create a space for the foundation to be laid. Therefore, "dug" is the best option to complete the sentence.
Pergunta 17 Relatório
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
Tayo was very obstinate; the more his mother insisted ... willingly would he do anything.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option is "the less." The sentence implies that Tayo was very stubborn and would only do things if he was not asked to do them. The phrase "the more" suggests that Tayo's obedience would increase as his mother insisted more, which contradicts the sentence's intended meaning. The phrase "as less" and "so less" do not make grammatical sense in this context. Therefore, "the less" is the best option as it means that the more Tayo's mother insisted, the less likely he was to do what she wanted.

The correct option is "much too difficult". This phrase means that the previous assignment was excessively difficult and beyond the expected level of difficulty. "Too much difficult" and "difficult too much" are incorrect constructions in English, as the adverb "too" should come before the adjective "difficult". "Much difficult too" is also incorrect because the adverb "too" cannot be placed at the end of the sentence.

The question requires us to choose the option that best completes the gap in the sentence. The gap reads "When you desire to erect a building, you must -88- a plan that is -89- both from the point of view of -90- and that of -91-." From the options provided, the best option that fits into the gap is "practicable." This is because a plan that is practicable means that it is feasible, realistic and workable. In other words, the plan can be executed successfully. Therefore, option D, "qualitative" is incorrect because a plan being of high quality does not necessarily mean that it is practicable.

In the context of the passage, the question is asking what needs to be cleared before starting the construction of a building. The word "cleared" suggests that something needs to be removed or prepared before the building can be erected. The best option from the letters A - E that completes the gap is "site" (option C). This is because before starting the construction of a building, the site where the building is to be erected needs to be cleared. This involves removing any obstacles, debris, or vegetation from the area to create a level surface for the foundation of the building. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Floor" (option A) refers to the inside surface of a room or building and does not relate to the preparation of the site. "Ground" (option B) is too general and does not specifically refer to the site of the building. "Bush" (option D) refers to an area with dense vegetation, which is the opposite of what needs to be done before building a structure. "Cite" (option E) means to quote or refer to something, which does not relate to the preparation of the building site.

The preacher is telling those affected by the fire outbreak that although they have lost their property, they should not lose hope and should look for the positive aspect in the situation. The expression "every cloud has a silver lining" suggests that even in a dark or difficult situation, there is always some hope or something positive to look forward to.

The best option to complete the gap in question 86 is "advent." The sentence reads, "such movements reach a -85- with the -86- of festivals." The phrase "such movements" refers to the frequent travelling of Nigerians mentioned earlier in the passage, and the missing word is describing the peak or climax of these movements. "Advent" means the arrival or coming of something important, which fits the context of the sentence as it describes the peak of travelling during festivals. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence as well. "Incident" refers to an unexpected event and does not make sense in the sentence. "Arriving" is a verb and does not fit grammatically in the sentence. "Addition" means something added to an existing thing, and it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. "Adventure" means an exciting or daring experience, which does not fit the context of the sentence as it is not describing the festivals themselves but rather the peak of travelling during festivals.

Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the sentence is "out on." The sentence suggests that Musa was disappointed and decided to take some form of action against Maryam. The phrase "take it out on" means to treat someone badly or unfairly because you are upset, angry or disappointed about something else. Therefore, the phrase "take it out on" fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "With" suggests that Musa is angry or disappointed with Maryam, but it does not suggest any action that he will take. "At" and "in" do not convey the sense of action that Musa intends to take.

The runners-up trophy which our school had won was cold comfort for all the efforts we made

The appropriate interpretation for the sentence is "a poor consolation." The sentence suggests that the runners-up trophy, which the school had won, did not bring the desired or expected level of comfort or satisfaction to the speaker and their team. This implies that they had worked hard and expected to win but only managed to come in second place. As a result, the trophy may seem like a poor consolation or inadequate reward for their efforts. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Befitting reward" suggests that the trophy was a fitting or appropriate reward for their efforts, which is not what the sentence implies. "Wet comfort" and "an affectionate consideration" do not make sense in the context of the sentence.

The best option to complete the gap in question 97 is "commences." The sentence structure suggests a sequence of events that must occur when erecting a building.

The underlined expression "inevitable" means that something cannot be avoided or escaped, and therefore it is certain to happen. In the sentence, it refers to the fact that death is something that is certain to happen to every person. Therefore, the word from the options that is nearest in meaning to "inevitable" is "unavoidable" (option A), since it also means that something cannot be avoided.

"Ought not to have travelled" indicates that the person should not have traveled last week without permission.

The word "five-man" or "five-men" implies that there are five individuals in the panel. The use of the word "man" instead of "men" indicates that the panel is composed of five individuals, regardless of their gender. The use of the apostrophe in "five-men's" is grammatically incorrect as it suggests possession, which is not applicable in this sentence. Therefore, the sentence means that the students refused to appear before the group of five individuals who were set up to investigate their demands.

So, in this sentence, Osaro is telling the members of his club that the match would start at 4.30pm, which makes "kick off" the appropriate phrasal verb to use. Out of the options provided, only "off" fits with "kick off", so it is the correct choice.

The best option to complete the gap in question 95 is "used." The sentence structure suggests that the builder has already decided on the building materials to be used. Therefore, the next step would be to use the materials to erect the building, making option D, "erected," a possible choice. However, the sentence also suggests that the builder has made a decision on the materials to be used, which indicates that the choice of material has already been made. Therefore, "used" is the most appropriate option that fits in the gap, as it refers to the implementation of the already-decided building materials.

The word that best completes the gap in question 93 is "thoroughly". This is because the sentence is talking about clearing the site for building and it is important to do this thoroughly to ensure that there are no obstacles or debris left that could cause problems during construction. The other options, such as "barely" and "rarely", do not make sense in the context of clearing a building site. "Commonly" and "crudely" are also not appropriate choices as they do not fit the meaning of the sentence.

The correct option is "standard." In construction, the quality of building materials used is very important. The word "recommended" implies that there are certain standards for building materials that are set by professionals in the field. Therefore, the best option to complete the sentence is "standard," as it indicates that the bricks used must meet the recommended quality or standard set by professional builders. The other options do not fit as well in this context - "rigidity" and "solidity" suggest how sturdy or strong the bricks are, but not whether they meet a standard. "Flexibility" and "medium" are not relevant to the quality of the bricks.

The best option to complete the gap in question 87 is "exorbitant." The sentence suggests that despite the high charges imposed by transport owners during festival times, Nigerians still troop out. Therefore, the word that best describes these charges would be "exorbitant," which means unreasonably high or excessive. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Unusual" does not describe the charges imposed but rather the frequency of Nigerians traveling during festival times. "Expensive" and "harsh" are not strong enough to describe the charges, and "excessive" does not convey the same level of negativity as "exorbitant."

Detalhes da Resposta
The appropriate interpretation for the given sentence is "her result was as expected." The sentence states that Susan was the last in the examination, but her result wasn't too different from what had been expected. This means that despite being the last, Susan's result was not a disappointment, but rather it was in line with what had been anticipated. For example, if Susan had been consistently performing well in her studies, and had prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she had done well despite being the last. Conversely, if Susan had been performing poorly in her studies and had not prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she did not perform well but that her poor performance was not a surprise. Therefore, the interpretation that her result was as expected is the most appropriate based on the given sentence.

Based on the sentence "Having decided -94- the building materials to be -95- the foundation is then -96-," we can deduce that the missing word is a preposition that indicates the relationship between the decision about the building materials and the next step, which is laying the foundation. The most appropriate option to complete the gap is "on," as in "Having decided on the building materials to be used, the foundation is then laid."

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
Most of the discussions in the newspapers today in Nigeria focus on the problem of corruption and its pervasive effects on our national life. It is a phenomenon which appears to have settled comfortably with us, more so that we now regard it, in a rather casual manner as a normal way of life. One may then wish to ask, what exactly is the complexion of corruption in Nigeria? Why is it so pervasive and how can it be minimized. if not completely eradicated?
Corruption takes many forms in the country. Contracts are not awarded on the objective criteria of professional competence and results of good feasibility studies. It is a matter of personal relationships, club affiliations or the expectation of some kick-backs. Loans are not given out by banks on the merit of what you need them for; it is the kick-backs from the loans that decide the manager's approval. Those who need jobs either have to bribe their way through to get the jobs or they do not get any.
Limited opportunities, the fast declining state of the economy. poor awareness of the rights the state allows. dire needs and a host of others have often been cited as factors responsible for the picture painted above.
Many suggestions have been offered for the alleviation of the problem Some of these suggestions are practical while others appear unrealistic especially in the context of the present orientation in the country. However, the view being held in this write-up is that the problem of corruption can only be tackled by the application of some practical solutions. Thus, we have to start with our leaders. It is being suggested here that our leaders must learn to lead by example. It is not enough for them to condemn corruption, they themselves must not be seen to be involved in any dirty practice. This calls for a great deal of honesty from them coupled with an appreciable degree of integrity and the readiness to help others without expecting to be cheaply rewarded.
Our educational system needs a serious overhaul to achieve some positive results. The teaching programmes must include subjects like Civics and Social Studies which normally expose students to their rights, the limits of such rights and the virtues of good neighbourliness Moral instruction in the schools should be tilted in favour of those imperatives that emphasize justice, fairness and selflessness. In addition, we need a radical reorientation with regard to our value system in the country. There should be less emphasis on the acquisition of material things. Those things that help to uplift the glory and name of the country need to be promoted.
(a) In two short sentences, give the writer's reasons for the wide-spread corruption in Nigeria.
(b) In one short sentence, explain the common pattern that corruption takes in the country.
(c) In three short sentences, summarize what the writer considers to be the practical solutions to the problem of corruption in the country.

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions on it.
It was a sunny day in the month of May. The sun took its rightful position very early, lending credence to the general feeling that Andrew's birthday ceremony was going to be greeted with the blessing of a pleasant climate. The sky looked so bright that Andrew insisted on having an open-air party. The habitual doubting Thomases had no dissenting opinions to express. Andrew had gone to a great length to ensure a hitch-free party; a party which would remain the talk of the town. Although it was not intended to be free for all, a lot had been done to stamp the occasion on the memories of many people long afterwards.
The bright sun continued to smile. Andrew's face beamed with pleasure with every passing moment. Very few of his conternporaries have so succeeded in reaching the top of the ladder. Andrew in particular had been an orphan of storm. His father's, death during his third year in the secondary school and that of his mother two years later were only two of this orphan's 'storms'. He suffered a physical misfortune when a stockfish machine severed his left middle finger. But Andrew did not despair.
The courage to fail is very cheap. Every fool can afford to fail But it raises one above the herd of cowards and never-do-wells to be up and struggling. The reward of forbearance in the end is resounding success. And so it was for Andrew. Ever since he finished his university education, it had been success galore. He had got a good i job in one of the country's insurance companies. His pay was good, his promotion had been steady and his prospects seemed bright. At forty, he had a good car and had already bought a house of his own. The world was at his feet!
