Mr Santos Laliga is a [dipsomaniac]
Awọn alaye Idahun
The word that has an opposite meaning to "dipsomaniac" is "teetotaler." Explanation: - A "dipsomaniac" is someone who has an uncontrollable urge to drink alcohol excessively. - On the other hand, a "teetotaler" is someone who abstains from drinking alcohol altogether. - The two words have opposite meanings because one describes someone who drinks excessively and uncontrollably, while the other describes someone who avoids alcohol completely.

The correct option is "Estimates". This means that the World Health Organization is providing an educated guess or approximation of the number of Ugandans who are HIV positive, which is 1.8 million people. The use of the word "estimates" indicates that this number may not be exact, but it is the best estimate based on available data and analysis.

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."

Awọn alaye Idahun
The option that is nearest in meaning to the word "derogatory" in the sentence "Okibe was rusticated for his derogatory remark about the principal" is "unsavoury." Explanation: - The word "derogatory" means showing a critical or disrespectful attitude towards someone or something. - The word "unsavoury" means unpleasant or unpalatable, often in a moral or ethical sense. - In the context of the sentence, "unsavoury" suggests that Okibe's remark about the principal was offensive, distasteful, or morally unacceptable. - It implies that the remark was disrespectful and inappropriate, which led to Okibe's punishment. Therefore, "unsavoury" is the correct answer as it best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

Read the Passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The term Mass Communication occurs when information is disseminated to a relatively large number of people in different places. it should be seen as the same thing with talking face to face with someone else. With mass communication, there is no answer, smile, laugh or lock of surprise. the people who receive the message are as far away from the source of the message as far away as you are from the announcers on the radio or from the newscasters on television, or from the writer of a column in the local newspaper.
There are three identifiable means of errors in mass communication. There is one done through the printed words, books, magazine and newspapers. The other is primarily radio, but also records and tape recordings. Also, it can be done through a combination of sound and pictures as in television, films and the more recently popular video tape.
Together, they are referred to as the mass media.
All media can be used to inform and entertain. However, there are coverts roles played. It may be to educate as in school broadcast. Again, the aim may be to persuade as when the media are used by advertisers or for political broadcasts. The media are often in strong position to influence public opinion because they select the topics to be presented and can stress the importance of one issue over the other.
The mass media have, in recent times, come under acerbic criticism. Many presenters have become not only conscientized but also immensely concerned about the possible effects that science of violence and bad behavior may have on their children. More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.
One of the following is NOT true in the passage

More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like a flower for which is named, with body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades; blue, pink, green and red. Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

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. "But" would also introduce a contrast, but it would suggest a less strong opposition than "however".

Awọn alaye Idahun
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.

The term Mass Communication occurs when information is disseminated to a relatively large number of people in different places. it should be seen as the same thing with talking face to face with someone else.
