Mr. Bepo had been an inspiring pillar at Stardom for 24 years (which is over two decades). This can be found on page 56 of the novel.

Bepo jovially told his students that his big eyes will always catch whoever was cheating. He claimed he was "created to be a principal" and would tell students, "If you beat my height, you can't beat my eyes" during exams. This can be found on page 19 of the novel.

The statement was made by Chief Mrs. Solape Bayo, the chairman of the board of directors (and the MD's mother). She was expressing fear that the staff might use the large sum of money in their cooperative society to "rebel" and establish their own rival school. This can be found on page 26 of the novel.

In English grammar, certain phrases are known as correlative conjunctions. They are pairs of words that always go together. No sooner... than: This is the standard pair. Because "sooner" is a comparative adjective (ending in -er), it must be followed by "than," just like "faster than" or "taller than." Hardly/Scarcely... when: This is a different structure often confused with the one above. If the sentence had started with "Hardly had Tobi left...," then "when" would be the correct choice.

This is a common English proverb, and its wording is fixed. Proverbs usually follow a specific structure that doesn't change based on conversational context. The first part of the sentence uses the simple present tense (goes). The second part should also use the simple present tense (comes).

This tense is used for an action that started in the past and is still continuing into the present. The phrase "for about thirty minutes" indicates this. The structure for this tense is has/have + been + verb-ing.

The word "Each" is the actual subject of the sentence, not "answers". In English, "Each" is always treated as a singular pronoun. Even though "answers" is plural, the verb must agree with "Each."

The subject is "Each". Even though "reports" is plural, the verb must agree with the singular "Each". The sentence structure requires an auxiliary verb to pair with "been" to form the present perfect tense. Has is the singular form

Incidence refers to the rate or frequency of something happening (e.g., crime rates). Incident refers to a single, specific event. Because the sentence mentions being "on the increase," it is talking about the frequency/rate of the crime, so "incidence" is the correct choice.

Advise is the verb. It is the action of giving a recommendation. Advice, the noun, is the recommendation itself. Since the doctor is performing an action in the past, the correct past-tense verb is "advised."

"Laudable" is an adjective meaning "deserving praise and commendation".

When you use the phrases "It is time," "It is high time" or "It is about time" followed by a subject (in this case, "you"), you must use the Past Simple tense of the verb. Even though the sentence refers to the present or future, we use the past tense to indicate that the action is overdue or should have happened already. This is known as the unreal past or the subjunctive mood.

The standard hierarchy for adjectives in English is often remembered by the acronym OSASCOMP: Order Category Examples from the Question 1 Opinion Shiny 2 Size (Not present) 3 Age New 4 Shape (Not present) 5 Color Red 6 Origin (Not present) 7 Material (Not present) 8 Purpose Lunch (describing the type of pack) Putting them together gives you: "shiny new red lunch pack."

The word "better" is a comparative adjective. When we want to emphasise or strengthen a comparative, we use specific intensifiers. "Far" is a standard intensifier used with comparative forms (e.g., far better, far taller, far more expensive). "Much" is another common choice (much better).

In this sentence, the context implies a deadline for a future action. "The teacher asked the students to submit..." indicates an instruction for something that needs to happen after the request was made. "Before the end of next week" is a standard way to set a future deadline.
