Q8 15

Question 8: He is known for being ___, not ___ — he thinks carefully before making any decision and never acts without reason.

Question 8 options
Rational (based on clear thinking) vs. impulsive (acting without thinking) is the correct contrast. The sentence describes careful thought, so rational fits. Sociable/shy describes social behaviour, not decision-making. Generous/mean describes giving, not thinking style.
Q9 15

Question 9 options
  • and trustworthy
  • in all situations.
  • for being honest
  • She is known

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is: 'She is known for being honest and trustworthy in all situations.' This is a natural sentence structure: subject + verb + adjective phrase + prepositional phrase.

Question 10 options
Persistent means continuing firmly despite difficulties, which matches staying on course after setbacks. Careless means not paying attention. Indifferent means not caring. Naive means lacking experience or judgment.

Question 11: Which word would be most appropriate in a formal job reference letter to describe a candidate who handles disagreements calmly and professionally?

Question 11 options
Diplomatic is the formal, professional word for someone who handles conflict with tact and skill. Laid-back is informal. Chill is very informal/slang. Easy-going is informal and does not specifically suggest professional conflict resolution.
Q12 15

Question 12: Which form correctly completes this sentence? 'Her ___ approach to the problem impressed everyone on the team.'

Question 12 options
Analytical is the adjective form meaning relating to careful, logical analysis. Analyse is a verb, analysis is a noun, and analytically is an adverb — none can modify a noun like 'approach'.
Q13 15

Question 13: The word GREGARIOUS is used to describe someone who is shy and prefers to be alone rather than in social situations.

False. Gregarious means fond of company and enjoying being with other people — it is the opposite of shy or solitary.

Question 14 options
