A B C D E

The sentence given in option A is

grammatically incorrect because the
correct form of the structure is If + had
+ past participle, would + have + past
participle. The correct version of the
sentence should have been If I had known
about the party, I would have gone.
A B C D E

The expression Due to in option D is

incorrectly used in place of through,
because of, or owing to, in adverbial
phrases: He lost the first game, due to
carelessness. In correct use related as
predicate or as modifier to a particular
noun: This invention is due to Edison,
losses due to preventable fires.

The meaning of the sentence requires

a word like create where the hypothesis
are not only tested but also created by
students.

The sentence I know more beautiful

women than Julia Roberts is ambiguous
because it can come to mean two different
things. It is not clear whether the speaker
knows more beautiful women than Julia
Roberts does or whether the speaker
knows other women who are more
beautiful than Julia Roberts.

The sentence given in option can come

to convey two different meanings. It is not
clear whether Dr. Newton hid the letter from
Sharon or whether Dr. Newton hid the letter
that was sent by Sharon. The remaining
options all have one set meanings.

The sentence requires a word which

creates a contrast since the first sentence
has a negative meaning whereas the
second sentence has a positive meaning
and is emphasized with the word still.
This situation is created with the word
however in option D.

The suffix used in option E has been used

to create an Adjective whereas the suffixes
used in the rest of the options have been
used to create verbs.

The sentence includes a meaning where

the speaker decides not to go to work and
to go on a holiday. The usage for not going
to work is taking the day off, which is
provided in option A.

The sentence in option A is an example

to an unnecessary shift in pronoun. The
correct version should have been we could
have banned. The sentence in option B is
an example to lack of agreement between
pronoun and antecedent. The sentence
in option C is an example to a missing
possessive apostrophe. The sentence in
option D is an example to a missing comma
in a compound sentence. The sentence in

The sentence In each of them, political

leaders opted to move past the violence
and injustices of the past and to focus
on the tasks of social and political
reconstruction clearly states that there
was violence before the amnesties. The
remaining options all have a positive
meaning whereas option D has a negative
meaning, which is consistent with the
passage.

There needs to be a statement or an

argument for Peter to say quite the
opposite. This is provided in option E.
Moreover, the term facts are consistent in
both the options and in the dialogue.

The paragraph starts by defining interest.

The sentence after the gap is talking about
compound interest indicating that the
paragraph is not only defining interest, but
also introducing the types of interest. If the
sentence after the gap is about compound
interest, then it is meaningful to assume
that the previous sentence is about another
type of interest, which is given in option C
as simple interest. Option A talks about
two main groups, but these two groups are
not given in the following sentences, which
is not suitable to paragraph formation.
Option B has the term capital, which is
not supported anywhere in the paragraph.
Option D introduces two ideas with
either/or, but this isnt supported in the
following sentences. Option E introduces
various theories, but the remaining of the
paragraph doesnt talk about any theories.

Steves final sentence has the word also

is provided in option B with the phrase its
not simply that.

If the other tenors have also started doing

Italian pop songs, this would indicate that
the fans are approving of this, otherwise,
they would not have chosen to do so.

The paragraph is about the ranks among

people in the Egyptian society. Each of
the sentences talks about the situation
of the people from different ranks in
the society. This situation is provided in
option D. Option A talks about investment
and the pyramids which is inconsistent
with the paragraph. Option B talks about
pyramids but the paragraph has nothing
to do with pyramids. Option C talks about
government and administrators which is
not consistent with the paragraph. Option
E talks about gender differences, which
doesnt re-appear anywhere else.

in option C. None of the remaining
sentences provide an opposition to the
given sentence.

The given sentence gives the name of

Catherine the Great of Russia who is
a character of the past. Because the
character is not alive any longer, and
because the act of suffering happened at
one stage and then ended, the sentence
calls for a past simple in the second gap.
This is provided in option B.

the sense that Hamlet didnt fail (exacts

The given text is the explanation of the

Grammar Translation Method which
was mainly used in order to teach and
read literary texts. The direct method
of teaching, which is sometimes called
the natural method, and is often (but not
exclusively) used in teaching foreign
languages, refrains from using the learners
native language and uses only the target
language. The audio-lingual method or
the Army Method is based on behaviorist
theory, which professes that certain traits
of living things could be trained through a
system of reinforcementcorrect use of a
trait would receive positive feedback while
incorrect use of that trait would receive
negative feedback. The Silent Way makes
extensive use of silence as a teaching
technique. Community language learning
(CLL) is an approach in which students
work together to develop what aspects
of a language they would like to learn.
The teacher acts as a counsellor and a
paraphraser, while the learner acts as a
collaborator, although sometimes this role
can be changed.

43.

All the options other than option C refer

to the same sort of teaching in which the
information is transferred from the teacher
to the student. Discovery model is the
opposite where the information is there
for the student to explore and discover for
themselves.

All the options other than C are the positive

things in a class. Option C is negative
because intervening and ending a fluency
activity just for the lesson plan is a lost
opportunity. If the students are speaking,
the teacher should let the activity continue.
