Dear Students,

Today I provide you with the key and explanatory notes to Specimen Paper II which appeared in last week's column.

One reminder is that all the Speci- 10. B men Papers which appear in these weeks are modelled on previous years'. Be- cause minor or even major changes in the examination format are always pos-- sible, you have to make sure that you know the instructions for each paper after you've entered the examination hall or room.

KEY (WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES)

seas are...........,underpopulated". funder- = toolittle),

PASSAGE B

Other options are incorrect. Note that many dedicated men worked against, not for, the outbreak of nuclear incidents.

14. D'Actually this is the only way the writer considers possible.

28.

Here mark refers to the quality. each student should be aiming at. Usually the word possession snot: used with abstract nouns. When we are talking. about things that belong to a person, we use the noun be- longings, e.g. These are his per sonal belongings.

It should be an easy one.

salute

way

honour in a formal

(It does not mean “to make a salute" herc.) It doesn't make sense to use thank, ask or call.

It is a logical answer following

enter or

lately = recently

So, don't confuse lare with lately.

Surely a student is not ex. pected to kick or Strike at the door of the Teachers' Room:

Note this usage.

31 D Note that the preposition be

Line 8: "barren water”. (Bar- ren here means empty or with-

TA sentence with a negative idea in it needs a positive tag ques- tion.e.g.

None of the food. was eaten, was it?

Besides, semi-negative words such as few, hardly, little, rarely, scarcely, seldom are considered negatives, and take a positive tag question, eg. Few people went to the

party, did they? seldom go to a public library these days, do I?

D. take in = believe

The response to a compliment, ie. praise, is often Thank you or Thanks.

When someone. praises us for something we are wearing, the style of our hair, etc. we can respond by saying; besides Thank you/Thanks:

"I'm glad you like it.". When the compliment is re ferred to something we have done, a song we have sung, a speech we have given, etc. we can say in return:

"I'm glad you enjoyed liked

It is a stronger alternative of No./wwont

The given sentence can be para- phrased as: Although this essay. topic is the most popular choice, it traps those average: candidates.with a limited voca- bulary.

These days, the suffix-wisé is very popular. It is added to nouns, sometimes even adjec- tives, to form adverbs or adjec.. tives to mean in the manner/ respect of something, eg.. clockwise, lengthwise; ·
