My boss did not tell me about the meeting; ___________ this, he got angry that I did not turn up for it.
  • a)
    similar to
  • b)
    however
  • c)
    even if
  • d)
    instead of
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jassim Al Omani answered
Understanding the Correct Answer: "However"
In the given sentence, the use of "however" effectively contrasts two ideas: the lack of communication from the boss and the subsequent anger directed at you for not attending the meeting.
Contextual Breakdown
- Situation: The boss did not inform you about the meeting.
- Reaction: The boss became angry because you were absent.
Why "However" Fits Best
- Contrast: "However" introduces a contradiction between the expectation of attendance (given the meeting was scheduled) and the reality (you were not informed).
- Logical Flow: The phrase creates a logical transition that highlights the irony of the situation—your absence was not due to negligence but a lack of information.
Why Other Options Don't Work
- Similar to: This phrase does not convey the contrast necessary in the sentence.
- Even if: This suggests a conditional situation that does not apply here, as the absence of information is the root cause, not a hypothetical scenario.
- Instead of: This implies a replacement or alternative, which does not fit the context of miscommunication and resultant anger.
Conclusion
The word "however" serves as a critical transition that emphasizes the unexpected nature of the boss's anger given the circumstances. It highlights the disconnect between expectation and reality, making it the correct choice for this sentence.

The ___________ of the party was a success, thanks to everyone's efforts.    
  • a)
    organizing    
  • b)
    organizer    
  • c)
    organize    
  • d)
    organized
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Maha Jassem Al Abbas answered
Understanding the Correct Answer
The correct answer, "organized," fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning effectively.
Contextual Analysis
- The sentence structure indicates that a noun is needed after "the."
- The focus is on the event (the party) and how it was prepared or structured.
Options Breakdown
- a) organizing: This is a gerund (noun form of a verb) that implies the process of making arrangements. It does not fit as it would require a different structure (e.g., "the organizing of the party").
- b) organizer: This refers to a person who organizes events. While relevant, it does not fit the context of describing the event itself.
- c) organize: This is the base form of the verb and does not work in this sentence as it lacks the necessary grammatical structure.
- d) organized: This is the past participle of the verb "organize." It describes the state of the party, indicating that it was successfully arranged or planned.
Conclusion
Using "organized" makes the sentence grammatically correct and effectively communicates that the efforts of everyone led to a successful event. The choice reflects a completed action that aligns perfectly with the context. Thus, option 'D' is the best answer.

Today, I am active, I am _______.
  • a)
    against all odds
  • b)
    behind the eight balls
  • c)
    going to turn a new leaf
  • d)
    full of beans
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Jawaher Al Dhaheri answered
Understanding the Correct Answer: "Full of Beans"
The phrase "full of beans" is an idiomatic expression meaning someone is lively, energetic, and enthusiastic. When someone says, "Today, I am active, I am full of beans," they are expressing a high level of energy and a positive outlook.
Why "Full of Beans"?
- Connotation of Energy: The phrase conveys a sense of vigor and enthusiasm, suggesting that the person is in a cheerful and active state.
- Positive Outlook: It indicates a readiness to engage in activities and face challenges with enthusiasm.
- Common Usage: This phrase is widely used in informal contexts, making it relatable and easy to understand.
Why Not the Other Options?
- Against All Odds: This phrase implies overcoming significant challenges, which does not necessarily correlate with a state of being active or energetic.
- Behind the Eight Ball: This expression means being in a difficult situation or at a disadvantage, which contrasts sharply with a state of activity and positivity.
- Going to Turn a New Leaf: While this indicates a change for the better, it does not specifically denote energy or activity in the present moment, as "full of beans" does.
Conclusion
In summary, "full of beans" aptly describes an active and energetic disposition, making it the correct choice in the given context. It captures the essence of being lively, which aligns perfectly with the statement.

Arien Instructors answered

  • The other options (advisable, advise, and advises) are either adjectives or verbs, which do not fit the context of the sentence.
So, the correct answer is Advice.

Your poor English may _______ your chances to get a job.
  • a)
    collapse
  • b)
    enlarge
  • c)
    weaken
  • d)
    enrich
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Majid Al Ali answered
Understanding the Context
In the sentence, "Your poor English may _______ your chances to get a job," the context revolves around the impact of language proficiency on job opportunities.
Analyzing the Options
- a) Collapse: This word means to fall down or break apart suddenly. While poor English might negatively affect job chances, "collapse" implies a more dramatic failure, which doesn’t fit well here.
- b) Enlarge: This means to make something larger or more extensive. Poor English would not increase your job chances; hence, this option is incorrect.
- c) Weaken: This means to make something less strong or effective. Poor English skills would indeed reduce or weaken your chances of securing a job, making this the most suitable choice.
- d) Enrich: This means to improve the quality or value of something. Poor English would not enhance job opportunities, thus this option is also incorrect.
Why 'Weaken' is Correct
- Direct Impact: Poor English skills can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and a lack of confidence during interviews.
- Professional Expectations: Many employers require a certain level of language proficiency. If a candidate cannot meet these expectations, it can severely limit their employability.
- Competitive Job Market: In a competitive environment, candidates with strong language skills are more likely to stand out, while those with poor skills may be overlooked.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is c) weaken, as it accurately reflects how poor English skills can diminish job prospects in a professional setting.

It is the duty of the police to _______ the law.
  • a)
    discuss
  • b)
    push
  • c)
    press
  • d)
    enforce
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Khaled Al Raisi answered
Understanding the Correct Answer: "Enforce"
The duty of the police is a crucial aspect of law enforcement and public safety. The correct answer to the question is "enforce." Here’s why:
The Role of Police
- The primary responsibility of police officers is to uphold and implement the law.
- They ensure that laws are followed by the general public, maintaining order and safety.
Why "Enforce" is the Correct Choice
- Definition of Enforce: To enforce means to compel observance of or obedience to a law, rule, or obligation.
- Legal Authority: Police have the authority to enforce laws, which includes arresting individuals who break the law, conducting investigations, and ensuring compliance with legal standards.
Other Options Explained
- Discuss: While discussions about laws can occur, it is not the police's primary function.
- Push: This term lacks specificity and does not accurately describe the police's role in relation to the law.
- Press: Similar to "push," this verb does not convey the authoritative action required in law enforcement.
The Importance of Law Enforcement
- Public Safety: Enforcing the law is vital for creating a safe environment for all citizens.
- Deterrence: Effective enforcement of laws helps deter criminal behavior and promotes respect for the legal system.
In summary, the police are tasked with the critical duty to "enforce" the law, ensuring that society operates within a framework of rules and regulations that protect individuals and communities.

The mother lost her _____ with her son when he found out that he had not attended hisschool for the whole week.
  • a)
    madness
  • b)
    support
  • c)
    anger
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Fawaz Al Ameri answered
The Context of the Sentence
In the given sentence, the mother is reacting to her son’s lack of attendance at school. This situation typically elicits strong emotions, particularly frustration or anger.
Understanding the Options
- Madness: This refers to a state of being mentally ill or extremely angry. It doesn’t fit the context of a mother losing something in relation to her son’s actions.
- Support: This implies emotional or practical assistance. While the mother may feel disappointed, the context suggests a more immediate emotional reaction rather than a loss of support.
- Anger: This is a strong feeling of displeasure. While the mother may feel angry about her son’s actions, the phrase "lost her anger" doesn’t fit naturally in English; it’s more common to say someone is angry rather than losing their anger.
- Temper: This refers to a person's state of mind regarding their anger. The phrase "lost her temper" is commonly used to indicate that someone has become very angry and perhaps is no longer able to control their emotions.
Conclusion
Given the emotional context of the situation, the correct answer is:
Option D: Temper
The mother "lost her temper" indicates she became very angry upon discovering her son’s truancy, which is a natural and relatable reaction. This phrase effectively captures the intensity of her emotional response in this scenario.

They told us a/an ________ story about ghosts
  • a)
    belief
  • b)
    believe
  • c)
    unbelievable
  • d)
    believable
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mubarak Al Khalifa answered
Unbelievable
Unbelievable is the correct answer because the sentence is referring to a story about ghosts that is not credible or hard to believe. Here is a breakdown of the options and why "unbelievable" is the most appropriate choice:

a) Belief: This option is incorrect because the sentence is not discussing a belief in ghosts, but rather a story about ghosts.

b) Believe: This option is incorrect as well because it is a verb and does not fit into the context of the sentence.

c) Unbelievable: This is the correct answer as it describes a story that is difficult or impossible to believe. It implies that the story is far-fetched or not credible.

d) Believable: This option is incorrect because the sentence is suggesting that the story about ghosts is not believable. If the story were believable, this option would be more suitable.
In conclusion, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank in the sentence "They told us a/an ________ story about ghosts" is "unbelievable" because it accurately conveys the idea that the story is not credible or hard to believe.

     has become
  • b)
    became
  • c)
    will become
  • d)
    was becoming
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Reema Majid Al Ali answered
The Correct Answer: Option B
The sentence reads: "The United Arab Emirates _________ an independent country on 2 December 1971." The correct choice is option 'B' - "became." Here's a detailed explanation of why this is the case:
Understanding Tense Usage
- Past Event: The phrase "on 2 December 1971" indicates a specific date in the past. When referring to events that occurred at a defined time in the past, the simple past tense is appropriate.
- Action Completed: "Became" indicates that the action of becoming an independent country was completed at that point in time. This aligns perfectly with the context of historical events.
Analysis of Other Options
- Option A: has become
- This tense suggests a connection to the present, implying that the state of being an independent country is still relevant today. However, it does not fit with the specific past date provided.
- Option C: will become
- This is in the future tense, indicating something that has yet to happen. It contradicts the historical context of the sentence.
- Option D: was becoming
- This tense suggests an ongoing process in the past, which is not suitable here since independence was formally achieved on a specific date.
Conclusion
- The use of "became" appropriately captures the historical moment when the United Arab Emirates officially became an independent country, making it the correct choice for this sentence.

I love maps, and I am not alone in feeling this way. Maps have been important to people throughout the history; humans have been using them in some form or another for more than 4000 years. The first known map is a clay tablet from the city of Babylon. Soon after that came the first paper maps, and they have been changing ever since. However, the biggest developments have happened in the last 100 years with satellite systems and, earlier in the century, aerial views.
First, here’s a question for you. Have you ever been lost? I mean really lost, when you don’t even know which way you’re facing, have no idea what is behind you, or any clue as to what is ahead? For the last few years, the reality is that it’s been getting more and more difficult to do this. Current technology now shows us everything we need to know about our trip and the final destination before we set out on our journey. It shows exact distances between locations and it shows alternative routes in case you have a change of plan.
Basically, you know where you’re heading. No longer will you get lost in an area, or be surprised by something you see in the road, like a traffic jam or an accident. Satellites have been there before you, tracking the route, providing pretty much all of the data we will ever need. And don’t forget … it’s not just the route and the traffic on the way that is being tracked. While we have been following the map on our phone, computer or satnav, the device has been tracking us too. Even if we are not sure where we are, someone, somewhere can find out.
Despite our modern maps and tracking systems, we still haven't mapped the whole world in detail. In fact, in the early 21st century, less than 15% of the world had local maps with enough detail for emergencies such as a natural disaster. Having no map can create problems in these situations. For example, millions of people needed help after a cyclone in Myanmar in 2008, but the rescue workers couldn't get to them because there were no detailed maps of roads or hospitals. However, since then, this situation, thankfully, has changed, and in the past few years, thanks to exciting new technology, local people have been making their own maps, detailing features of their local area.
One way that this has happened is through crowd-sourced maps, or maps created by ordinary people working together. Community members in more remote areas have worked together to build maps using technology such as Google Mapmaker and OpenStreet Map.
People with good knowledge of the local area can add roads, rivers, businesses, hospitals, routes and alternative routes to maps which were previously not good enough to help anyone from outside the region.

  • a)
    get lost
  • b)
    technology
  • c)
    what is behind you
  • d)
    reality
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arien Instructors answered
In paragraph 2, the sentence is: "For the last few years, the reality is that it’s been getting more and more difficult to do this."
To determine what "this" refers to, we need to look at the preceding context:
"First, here’s a question for you. Have you ever been lost? I mean really lost, when you don’t even know which way you’re facing, have no idea what is behind you, or any clue as to what is ahead?"
Based on this context, "this" refers to the experience of getting "really lost."
So, the correct answer is: get lost.

Explanation:

Did you
- The correct response in this context would be "Did you?" as it is a question that seeks confirmation or more information about the previous statement.
- This format is commonly used in English to engage in conversation and show interest in the other person's activities.

Thats great.
- This is a response expressing positive feelings towards the fact that the person had a sauna yesterday.
- It shows enthusiasm and interest in the other person's experience.
Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence would be "Did you? Thats great." as it follows the natural flow of conversation and encourages further discussion.

Even though there was still snow on the ground, ____ flowers were blooming.
  • a)
    much
  • b)
    a little 
  • c)
    a lot
  • d)
    a few
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sameer Al Mazroui answered
Explanation:

Seasonal Changes:
- Even though there was still snow on the ground, it indicates that it is still winter.
- Winter is typically a season when most plants are dormant due to the cold temperatures.

Early Bloomers:
- However, there are certain types of flowers that bloom early in the spring, even when there is still snow on the ground.
- These flowers are adapted to cold weather and are able to thrive in such conditions.

Blooming Flowers:
- The statement mentions that "flowers were blooming," indicating that there were indeed a significant number of flowers in bloom.
- This suggests that a lot of flowers were able to overcome the winter conditions and start blooming early.

Conclusion:
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - "a lot," as it accurately describes the situation of many flowers blooming despite the presence of snow on the ground.

Snow is the precipitation of ice in the form of flakes, clusters, or crystal. Snow crystals are formed in the atmosphere at freezing temperatures when water vapor is condensed to ice without passing through a liquid state. These snow crystals often fall to the ground as individual units, but in warmer regions they clump together as they fall, creating snowflakes. Almost 50 percent of rain was snow that melted as it entered warmer temperatures on its way to earth.
The study of snow crystals has been going on for more than four centuries. Many people have been intrigued by snow, and in the process of observing its forms and studying its formation, they have created a collection of its images. The first sketch was made in 1550 by Oleos Magnus, archbishop of Uppsala, and in 1635, the first scientific records were made by French philosopher, Rene` Descartes. Two centuries later, English meteorologist James Glaser produced a drawing that is considered the most accurate image made before the development of photomicrography. The pioneer in this advanced technology was Wilson Alwyn Bentley, a farmer in Jericho, Vermont. He began his work in 1885, spending all of his free time outside in the cold taking pictures of snowflakes. By the time of his death 40 years later, he had made 6000 photos, half of which were later published.
From these studies and the resulting data, science has learned much about the snowflake. Snowflakes are transparent, like glass, and vary in size from .02 inches to 50 inches in diameter. Although an infinite number of snowflakes fall every year, no two have been found that are alike. However, all natural snowflakes are six-sided and consist of flat-plated ice crystals. These hexagonal clumps of ice create a winter wonderland in every part of the world each year.
Which of the following is equal to the number of published photographs mentioned in the passage?
  • a)
    600
  • b)
    3,000
  • c)
    6,000
  • d)
    12,000
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Passage
The passage provides a historical overview of snow crystal studies, highlighting key figures and their contributions to the field of meteorology and photography of snowflakes.
Key Points from the Passage
- Wilson Alwyn Bentley's Contribution:
- Bentley began photographing snowflakes in 1885.
- He dedicated 40 years to this work, resulting in a total of 6,000 photographs.
- Published Photographs:
- Of the 6,000 photos taken by Bentley, it is mentioned that half of them were later published.
- Therefore, the number of published photographs is calculated as follows:
- 6,000 (total photos) ÷ 2 = 3,000 (published photos).
Incorrect Answer Explanation
- The option 'B' states 3,000, which is indeed the correct interpretation based on the passage.
- The other options (600, 6,000, and 12,000) do not align with the information provided about the number of published photographs, as only 3,000 were published from the original 6,000 taken by Bentley.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'B' (3,000), as it accurately reflects the number of published photographs of snowflakes that Wilson Alwyn Bentley created from his extensive work in the field.

The singer was ________ nervous before the show.
  • a)
    observably
  • b)
    observable
  • c)
    observe
  • d)
    observation
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sheikha Khaled Al Raisi answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
The sentence provided is: "The singer was ________ nervous before the show." The blank requires an adverb to describe how nervous the singer was.
Options Analysis
- a) observably: This is an adverb derived from the adjective "observable," which means it can describe the manner in which the singer's nervousness can be perceived. Thus, it fits well in the sentence.
- b) observable: This is an adjective that describes something that can be seen or noticed. It does not fit grammatically since the sentence requires an adverb to modify the verb "was."
- c) observe: This is a verb, meaning to watch or notice. It does not work in this context as the sentence structure needs an adverb.
- d) observation: This is a noun referring to the act of observing. Again, it does not suit the grammatical requirement of the sentence.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option a) observably because it effectively modifies "nervous," indicating that the singer's nervousness was noticeable to others. In contrast, the other options do not meet the grammatical requirements of the sentence. Thus, the sentence reads: "The singer was observably nervous before the show," clearly conveying the intended meaning.
