You have a business idea you want to experiment with and you need some money. Write a letter to your uncle telling him about the business idea and asking for financial assistance to make it a reality.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
P1, Apollo Avenue,
Bidhannagar,
Delhi.
Dear Uncle,
I hope this letter of mine find you in good health. My parents and I all are fine. I am writing this letter actually because I need a little help from you.
As you know I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and have my own start up. So I have a business idea where I want to start a small venture in which I can sell fashionable garments and apparels online at reasonable rates. Though there are a lot of sites in this line, but my idea is unique as I want the makers of the products to sell them directly online and earn money rather than selling it through some middle man. For this I need a bit of financial support from you and I would be highly indebted to you if you could lend me an amount of two lacs rupees which I will definitely repay with interest once my endeavour kicks profits.
I really worked hard and want to make this dream of mine into reality and you are the only one who can help me do it. You always had faith in me and this time too I won’t let you down. Please think over it and help me out.
Yours affectionately,
Rohan.

Solution
Write an article suitable for publication in a national newspaper on the menace of secret cults in our schools and colleges.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
This study was undertaken to establish the reasons why students in higher educational institutions in Delta State of Nigeria join secret cults on the campuses, the effects of the incidence, and the strategies to employ to eradicate it from the institutions. It was a descriptive survey in design, and using a systematic, proportionate random sample of 665 students, 220 lecturers and 115 school administrators in the state-owned University, three Colleges of Education and three Polytechnics, who duly completed a closed-ended and open-ended 31-item questionnaire, the study confirmed the supposition that students join secret cults in the institutions to terrorize lecturers to pass their courses at all cost, and to provide security services to new initiates and shield them from oppressive students and the perceived hostility of wicked lecturers. A number of effects of the secret cults in the institutions were also established, some of these being cultism leading to certificates not being backed up with true academic struggle, and this leading to reduction in manpower quality; by design, cultists seriously abusing hard drugs like cocaine and alcohol, and in that state of mind, committing heinous crimes; identified and expelled cultists possibly becoming school drop-outs, robbers, prostitutes, drug-peddlers and maladjusted people in life; and cultists spearheading riots at the slightest opportunity and in the process looting and causing damage to school property. It was then concluded that the solution to the menace of secret cults in the institutions rests with evolving a broad based approach which should involve all stakeholders–students, lecturers, institutions’ authorities and government.

Write a letter to the Editor of a national newspaper discussing the positive impact of the computer on education.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Grammar & Contextual Explanation

Ogun State.
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Positive Impact of Computers on Education
I write to highlight the transformative role computers have played in revolutionising education. The advent of computers has brought about significant advancements, bridging gaps in access, enhancing the quality of learning and fostering a more inclusive educational environment.
Computers have made access to information faster and easier. With the internet, students can explore vast online resources, from research papers to video tutorials, enabling self-paced learning. Platforms such as Google Scholar and Khan Academy have become invaluable tools for both students and educators, levelling the playing field for learners irrespective of their geographic location.
Furthermore, the incorporation of computers into classrooms has improved teaching methods. Teachers can now use multimedia presentations, virtual simulations, and interactive tools to make lessons more engaging and easier to comprehend. This approach caters to different learning styles, ensuring that auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic learners can all benefit.
Computers have also been instrumental in promoting remote learning. With platforms like Zoom, Google Classroom, and Coursera, education is no longer confined to physical classrooms. This has proven particularly useful during emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring learning continuity despite disruptions.
Additionally, computers aid in administrative efficiency, reducing the workload of teachers and school management. Automated grading systems, digital attendance records, and online parent-teacher communication have streamlined educational processes, allowing educators to focus more on teaching and mentorship.
However, it is crucial to acknowledge the challenges posed by the digital divide. Many students in rural and underprivileged areas still lack access to computers and the internet. Addressing this disparity should be a priority for policymakers to ensure equitable access to the benefits of computers in education.
In conclusion, computers have undoubtedly revolutionised education, making it more accessible, interactive, and efficient. It is my hope that stakeholders continue to invest in digital infrastructure and training to ensure these benefits reach every learner.
Yours faithfully,

Though my mother was convinced about the success of the business, her manager remained___________
A
Sceptical
B
serious
C
confused
D
concerned
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"Convinced" means having a strong belief or certainty about something. Sceptical means having doubts or not being easily convinced. This is the opposite of "convinced". It fits logically: if the mother was convinced, but the manager was sceptical, there’s a contrast.
