In "Sweet Sixteen," the novel places emphasis on the relevance of bridging the communication gap between children and their parents. To explain this in simple terms, the novel highlights the importance of open and honest communication between parents and their children.

It is high time we ........ seeing her
Maelezo ya Majibu
"It is high time we stopped seeing her" would be the correct option. The phrase "it is high time" is an idiomatic expression that means that something should have happened already, and there is a sense of urgency for it to occur. The correct verb form to use after this phrase is the past simple form, which is "stopped" in this case. So, "It is high time we stopped seeing her" means that it is overdue for us to stop seeing her, and we need to do it now. The other options, "stop", "will stop", and "stops" are not grammatically correct after the phrase "it is high time" because they do not use the past simple form.

At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane ....4.... north-east
Maelezo ya Majibu
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 Ugandan AIDS Commission set up by President Museveni ..8...... the spread of the disease.
Maelezo ya Majibu
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.
