Question 51

Not speaking to anyone ________, but shouldn't we clean the house?
Show explanation Expand Question
The prepositional phrase 'in particular' means 'specifically' or 'especially'. In this context, it is used to clarify that the speaker's suggestion is not targeted at any specific person in the room but is a general proposal for everyone. The other options are reflexive pronouns that require an antecedent (a specific person mentioned earlier) which does not exist in this sentence's structure.

Question 52

She ________ a blue velvet dress to the party last night.
Show explanation Expand Question
The verb 'wear' is irregular. Its past simple form is 'wore' and its past participle is 'worn'. Since the sentence refers to a completed action at a specific time in the past ('last night'), the past simple form 'wore' is the only correct choice. 'Worn' would require an auxiliary like 'had', and 'weared' is an incorrect attempt at regularising an irregular verb.

Question 53

Chichi ________ fly to Kano tomorrow.
Show explanation Expand Question
To express a future plan or intention in English, we often use the 'be going to' structure. Since 'Chichi' is a third-person singular subject, the auxiliary 'is' must be used. 'Is going to' followed by the base verb 'fly' correctly indicates a scheduled or intended action for 'tomorrow'. The other options lack either the auxiliary verb or the correct infinitive structure.

Question 54

Your cough is terrible! You ________ quit smoking.
Show explanation Expand Question
The modal verb 'should' is used to give advice or make recommendations. Given the context that the person has a 'terrible cough', the speaker is offering strong health advice. 'Would' is used for conditionals, 'may' is for permission or possibility, and 'mustn't' indicates a prohibition, making 'should' the most appropriate choice for suggesting a beneficial course of action.

Question 55

I think the joke ________ very funny, because you're laughing a lot.
Show explanation Expand Question
In this sentence, the speaker is making a logical deduction about a past event based on current evidence (the laughing). The modal construction 'must have been' is used to express a high degree of certainty about a past state. 'Should be' refers to an expectation of the present or future, and 'should has been' is grammatically incorrect because 'should' must be followed by the base form 'have'.

Question 56

Don't forget ________ those letters.
Show explanation Expand Question
The verb 'forget' takes an infinitive (to post) when it refers to a task that needs to be performed in the future. In this case, the speaker is reminding the listener to carry out the action of posting letters. If the gerund 'posting' were used, it would refer to a past memory (e.g., 'I will never forget posting those letters'), which does not fit the context of a reminder.

Question 57

He arrived ________ Kano airport on Friday morning.
Show explanation Expand Question
In English, the preposition 'at' is used to denote a specific point or location, especially for functional buildings and transport hubs like airports, stations, or offices. While 'in' can be used for large areas like cities or countries, 'at' is the correct choice for a designated arrival point such as an airport. Prepositions like 'upon', 'under', or 'above' do not convey the correct spatial relationship for an arrival.

Question 58

Michael ________ in Ekiti since 1999.
Show explanation Expand Question
The word 'since' indicates a duration of time that began in the past and continues up to the present. In English grammar, this requires the present perfect tense. The present perfect is formed using 'has' or 'have' plus the past participle of the verb. For the singular subject 'Michael', we use 'has lived'. Other options like 'is living' or 'lives' describe current states but do not correctly link the past starting point to the present.

Question 59

As I didn't have time to do my hair myself, I ________ at the hairdresser's.
Show explanation Expand Question
This sentence requires a causative construction to show that someone else performed a service for the speaker. The structure is 'have + object + past participle'. In this case, 'had' (past tense) + 'it' (the hair) + 'done' (past participle of do) correctly expresses that the hairdresser provided the service. 'Had done it' would imply the speaker did it themselves in the past perfect, which contradicts the first half of the sentence.

Question 60

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the asterisked word or phrase.
Though David's condition is serious, his life is not in immediate danger.
Show explanation Expand Question
In this context, 'danger' refers to the possibility of suffering harm or death. The word 'grave' is used to describe a situation that is serious, solemn, and critically threatening. While 'danger' is a noun and 'grave' is often used as an adjective, in the context of a medical condition, 'grave' is the most appropriate synonym among the choices provided to describe the severity of a situation. 'Nasty' refers to something unpleasant, and 'hypertensive' is a specific medical term for high blood pressure, which is too specific and narrow to replace the general term 'danger'.
