Solution
The governor filed an _______ against the ruling of the tribunal.
A
injunction
B
objection
C
application
D
appeal
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
An "appeal" is a formal request to a higher court or authority for a review and possible reversal of a decision made by a lower court or tribunal. In the context of the sentence, the governor is dissatisfied with the ruling of the tribunal and is taking legal action by filing an appeal. An appeal is a common legal term used when someone challenges a decision and seeks a reconsideration from a higher judicial body. The other options, such as "injunction," "objection," and "application," do not specifically convey the idea of seeking a review of a tribunal ruling.

The smaller boys had always drawn back in fear when the bully raised a fist, but this time they did not ________
A
advance
B
agree
C
retaliate
D
recoil
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The sentence contrasts a past habit with a new action. Previously, the boys always “drew back in fear” when threatened (i.e., they recoiled). But this time, they did not do that; instead, they stood their ground or fought back. The most appropriate word that fits this contrast is “retaliate”, which means to fight back or respond to an attack.

Solution
The economy of the country has remained _______ despite the crisis
A
strong
B
realistic
C
tough
D
firm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The best answer is A. strong because it best describes an economy that has weathered a crisis and remained in a positive, resilient state. The other options do not capture this meaning as effectively.
"Realistic" suggests the economy is grounded in facts, but does not necessarily indicate strength or resilience.
"Tough" implies the economy has faced difficulties, but does not convey that it has remained stable.
"Firm" suggests the economy has maintained a steady, unwavering state, which is similar to "strong" but not as concise and powerful a descriptor.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. strong.
