General Education LET EXAM

ENGLISH 1. A. C. B. DAns: C – the answer is C because the bound morphemes “in”, “dis”,”un, and “il” connote negative meaning- for example when we say inadequate, we mean that it is not adequate 2. A. C. B. D. Ans: A- The answer is a, because all of the other given options connote “Wrapping up” a particular text, while doing an “ Assumption” means that we are trying to hypothesize. 3. A. C B. D. Ans: D- The answer is D because all the other options given are measures of temperature while “meter” is a measure of length or distance. 4. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – the answer is letter B because the article “ the” would connote that we are pertaining to “all” poor people, and because of that the pronoun to be used must also plural in form. 5. A. C B. D. Ans: D – the given statement below includes an idiom and so one must not take it literally. The idiom used in the sentence means to actively participate in a group endeavor, and so the answer is D. 6. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – this particular item concerns “tag questions”. The rule in using tag question is that when the first statement is negative, the next statement must be positive and vice-versa. Having stated this, the answer is B. 7. A. C. B. D. Ans: A – Using our context clues abilities and the archetypes of colors, we can easily state that the answer is letter A. the color “White” symbolizes purity, and if we are to connect it with the word “lie” we can by all means say that “White Lies” are lies without any intention to hurt other people. 8.

A. C. B. DAns: B – at first one might think that the answer is C ‘to write”, but upon examining deeply, we would have to consider B “writing” as another possible answer. “to write” and “ writing” are nominal (infinitive and gerund). Nominals are verbs that function as nouns. Infinitives often times appear after an object of the sentence. It would be awkward to say “Did your mentor ask you writing a new one?”, a better version of this sentence would be “Did your mentor ask you to write a new one?”. In the given sentence, the object was not given, so the best answer is a gerund, letter B.

9. A. C. B. D. Ans: D- the answer is letter D “cope” although most would answer A “cope up”. D is the best answer since that “cope with” means “to adapt”, while “cope up with” means “to try to follow one’s lead”. 10. A. C. B. answer is B “where” because we are pertaining to a place.

D. Ans:

B – The

11. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – The answer is D “too wet”. This is so because the phrase “so wet” must only used if it is followed by a clause – for example” The towels you gave me are so wet that I cannot dry the tables anymore. 12. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – The obvious answer is letter B, because among the options given it is the only word that ends with “ne”.

13. A. C. B. D. Ans: C- The apparent answer is C “stage fright” because all of the options given would not constitute to the given symptoms in the question. There are also some contexts clues present such as “speaker”, “stage” and “spiel”. 14. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – The answer is B “simile” the statement is comparing the snake to the night using the word “like”. Personification is when we give humanity attributes to inanimate objects. “Metaphor” is direct comparison-meaning comparing without the use of “like “or “as”. Apostrophe is addressing someone who is absent or deceased, inanimate or abstract concepts. 15. A. B. C. D. Ans: C – The Rubaiyat is written by Omar Khayam and translated into English by Edward Fitzgerald. It adheres to the carpe diem movement that states that we should eat now drink and be merry for tomorrow you’ll die (Seize the day). Having said this answer is letter C. 16. A. B. C. D. Ans: D – Using the key words “Green pastures” which means prosperity and “still waters” which means peace, we can clearly state that the answer is D. 17. A. B. C. D. Ans: D – The answer is D because the quotation given states that is not enough for us to be eager in learning, but we must also treat it with excitement and with much enthusiasm.

Situation

Recall “The Virgin”, May day Eve”, The Small Key” written by Kerima Polotan tuvera, nick Joaquin, and Paz Latorena, respectively then answer the questions below.

18. A. B. C. D. Ans: B – The answer is B. in the story, the mother of the main character was sick for a very long time and so Ms. Mijares was obliged to take care of her mother 19. A. B. C. D. Ans: A – The answer is A. in the story, Soledad, the main character, is very much intrigued by the small key that her husband never failed to treasure. So when Pedro left the key accidentally, Soledad took the opportunity and she opened the chest and found the old things of the first wife. Because of her jealous, she burnt all the things inside the chest. 20. A. C. B. D. Ans: The answer is A. Telescoping is when the author would narrate an event and then would fats forward to the next. Foreshadowing is giving clues about what is going to happen at the end of the story. Flashback is narrating past events, and Stream of consciousness is a technique that has no specific order. Situation

Recall “The Bolo” and “Without Seeing the Dawn” by L. Paras Sulit and Stevan Javanella respectively then answer the questions posted below.

21. A. B. C. D. Ans: A – The answer is A. in the short story “The Bolo” the main character treasures so much the bolo that was given to her husband because it is symbol of the husband’s true love towards the main character. 22. A. C. B. D. Ans: A – The answer is A. Stevean Javanella is one of the prolific writers---novelists, for that matter in the post war period. 23. A. B. C. D. Ans: A – option B is not the answer because it is loaded question and at the same time a tag question---meaning, there is already an underlying and expected answer option C is also not the answer because the question is not about clarification but concern. In addition option c is not the answer because the words used did not really show concern. 24. A. C. B. D. Ans: A – Clearly, option A is the answer since that the rest of the options started with “Yes” which means contradicts the statement “I don’t agree with the report...” 25.

A. C. B. D. Ans: B – The statement “I am used to the same tales” is a common idio-matic. But if ever this is the first time you heard this statement, you may use the phrase “used to “as a context clue. 26. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – Options C and D seems off tangent to the question, so we will just limit our choice to options A and b which are both common utterances in terms of revenge. Option B is not the answer because “An eye for an eye” connotes revenge, but in item number 26, it was said that the victim refused revenge. That is why option A is the best answer. 27. A. B. C. D. Ans: D – Among the options given , A and C ate most unlikely, so we will just limit it to options A and D. option B talks about the never ending cycle of emerging leaders, while option D mentioned things like “ history”, “matched”, and “leaders”—thus, making D the correct answer.

28. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – This question could also be under the Grammar section because this concerns consistency on tense. The answer is N “caught-up” because clearly, the sentences in the past tense and not in the past progressive (was Catching)—because the action is not a continuing action in the past, nor in the present tense( catch-up---because the other verbs in the statement are in the past tense, and definitely not in the present perfect tense (has caught)—because the action is no longer happening at present and at the same time it ended not in the very recent past. 29.

A. C. B. D. Ans: D – in this particular question, we can immediately illuminate options A and C. We just have to decide if which among B and D the correct answer B “flourished” could also be the answer, but if we would think carefully, we should consider the clause “when the scientific discoveries started”. We just have to remember that scientific discoveries would have to be one of the reasons for the “rebirth” and without those discoveries; the renaissance would not take place. Having said this, the word “flourished” is no longer appropriate. 30. A. C. B. D. Ans: A – Constructivist is the answer because this theory is about constructing new knowledge based on the prior knowledge or schema.

31. A. C. B. D. Ans: A- “Firstrate” has always been an utterance expressing excellence. But if ever this is something new to you and you don’t have any idea about this, then the best thing to do is try the elimination process. Take note that options B, C and D are in some ways related with each other, leaving option a “excellent” isolated. Therefore, it is safe to say that A is the best answer. 32.

A. C. B. D. Ans: B – The answer is B because the word “Pulchritude” means physical beauty and grace. But if ever you have no idea about the dictionary definition of this word, you can use your context clues abilities. The word “Venus” is the most helpful clue. As we all know Venus is the Roman goddess of beauty—this fact will help us in determining the right answer. 33. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – The answer is B because “herald” means to usher in or to proclaim. But if ever you have no idea about the dictionary definition of this word, just think about one famous Christmas song that goes like “hark the HERALD angel sing….” At times our prior knowledge about words is useful in trying to derive meaning from a given word. 34 A. C. B. D. Ans: B- the answer is B because the word “automate” means to install or to convert to automation equipment. Thus, “to operate through machines” is indeed the best answer. 35. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – the answer is D because “reticent” means reserved, “taciturn” (A) means habitually silent, “reserved” (B) means self-restrained. Options A, B and C are almost synonymous, while D “verbose” means wordy. It is also unlikely for a president to be reserved, since that being the head of an organization/state requires a lot of verbal skills. 36. A. C. B. D. Ans: B- “Hiatus” means gap, and clearly option B “lapse” is the nearest definition. But if you have no idea about the dictionary meaning of “hiatus”, you may use your context clues abilities. By just reading the statement you would have an idea that there is a gap of four years before the persona was able to return to her country. 37. A. C. b. D. Ans: B – by using the elimination method, we can easily know the best answer .Option A “uncomplicated” and option D “simple” are in some ways synonymous- and so it is but proper to eliminate them from our choices. Option C “worldly” should also be eliminated because a sophisticated thing doesn’t mean that it is worldly. 38. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – “Eureka” has always been an expression of an abrupt realization or discovery. But if ever you have no idea about this expression, you may use the word “Archimedes” as your clue. 39. A. c. B. D. Ans: C- The word “Excruciating” has always been an adjective to describe extreme pain. Having said this, option A (mild), B(slight), and D(endurable) are not appropriate to be used in the given statement about fractured bones. 40. A. C. C. D. Ans: C- At first reading, we can already eliminate options A and D. we just have to decide whether “compliant” or “complement” is the suitable answer. “Compliment” means an expression of admiration and praise, while “complement” means a things\ that would complete the whole. Clearly the answer is indeed option C-“complement” 41.

A. c. B. D. Ans: A – The word “Erratic” means not conforming to standards. It could also mean irregular thus making option A “Inconsistent” the best answer

42. A. C. B. D. Ans: B- this is a give-away question, but you must read it carefully. The answer is B- “ductile” because if a material is ductile, it can be hammered into thin layers without being broken into pieces. 43. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – “Ersatz” means substitute. Given thus definition, we can say that the closest word to “substitute” is option D-“artificial”. But if ever you don’t have any idea about the dictionary definition, you can easily answer this question by choosing the word that doesn’t go along with the other options. In thus particular item all of the options are quite synonymous except option D. 44. A. C. B. D. Ans: C– Without even knowing what the word “hubhub” means, since that most of the dictionaries don’t have this word on their list, we can use the classification method in determining the best answer. Among the choices, option C- “commotion” is the only one not synonymous to the other options given, making it the correct and best answer. 45. A. C. B. D. Ans: D– This question is again a give-away. Even without using the dictionary, we can easily answer this particular item by just looking at the set of options. Option D “honorable” is the answer because among the choices given, it is the only one that is positive. 46. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – The answer is D “hesitate” because the statement in this item is clearly stating that we should not think twice for time is running out. 47. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – The word “frivolous” means void of significance and reason. It could also mean trivial or unimportant. That is why option D “worthless” is the best answer. 48. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – the answer is “courteously” because among the choices given, this is the only attribute is expected from a government employee. 49. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – If we are to use the process of elimination, we can easily remove options C and D. options a (lanky) and B (Haggard) are the two possible answers. But if we are to think about it, lanky means shrunken-making it inappropriate, and making option B the best answer. 50. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – “Gullible” is the best answer because normally, fairy tales and mystery novels have plots that are too fancy to believe in –making readers believe in the impossible and at times in the “illogical”.

51. A. C. B. D. Ans: C– According to Webster, “Gloat” means to look with cruel or triumphant satisfaction. Unlike the other item where the option has distinction definitions, the options in this item would seem like synonymous with each other. “Scoff” means to mock or to ridicule, “Deride” means to treat with scornful mirth or to ridicule; “Brag” means to vaunt one’s self; and “belittle” means to disparage. But the answer is C “Brag” because “Scoff” and “Deride” are synonymous, while belittle is just like depreciating something. 52. Ans:

C.

D.

D – the answer is D because the mentioned quotation clearly talks about procrastination

53. A. C. C. D. Ans: D – The answer is “Benevolent dictator” because “benevolence” means act’s of kindness and charity- thus making this the most appropriate answer.

54. A. ` C. B. D. Ans: D – “Lucid” means “clear”- making option C- “;thinking clearly” the most appropriate answer. 55. A. C. B. D. Ans: Using the process of elimination, we can immediately remove options B and C. The answer is D “last defense” because of the clause provided in the statement in this particular item. 56.

A. C. B. D. Ans: C – The answer is “wither” because most plants can’t bloom, can’t flower, and can’t bear fruits during winter. 57. A. B. C. D. Ans: C – the answer is C “everyone” will be questioning the recipe” because in terms of tense, this would appropriately complete the sentence. Option C is in the future progressive tense- thus it connotes future action that is more recent and certain – compared to options A and B which are both in the simple future tense wherein we are not certain if the action is certain or not. Remember that the differences between the simple future tense and future progressive tense are in terms recent and certainly- the latter being more recent and certain than the former. 58.

A. C. B. D. Ans: A – “in the event” is the obvious answer since that this phrase is commonly used compared to the other options given. In addition, all the other options, when supplied to the sentence make no sense. 59. A. C. B. D. Ans: C – The answer is “Pronoun” because all other given options are context words. Content words are those that carry meaning – nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives are samples of this. On the other hand functions words are those that don’t have any meaning if isolated with the content words – preposition, conjunctions and pronouns are samples of this in addition, function words are just there to give support to content words, and so, a sentence filled with function words would be normally dull. 60. A. C. B. D. Ans: “used to” is the answer because this phrase connotes an actions that was done consistently in the past while the other options that used modals such as could and may connotes ability and possibility 61. A. C. B. D. Ans: B- This item concerns tense. The answer “has seated” is in the present tense and it truly fits the thought of the sentence. Remember that the present perfect tense connotes actions that started in the past and would have two possible outcomes – (1) still happening, (2) recently ended. In the sentence “She ____ at the computer for 6 long hours”, we are certain if the subject is still using the computer. You might confuse this to be under the past perfect tense because of the sentence followed –“. Finally, she took a break”, remember that if the two independent clauses are not separated by a period like”. She___ at the computer for 6 long hours before she finally took a break” then we must use the past perfect tense. But in this item there are three separate sentences. 62. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – In this item there are only two separate sentences – unlike item 52. In the sentence “she ______ along with her superior for a long time before she finally decided to look for a new position” thyer are two past actions – (1) the missing action, and (2) decide D. The rule states that if there are two connected past actions in a sentence (the 1st action was still in progress when the 2nd action happened) we must already use the past perfect progressive tense. 63. A. C. B. D. Ans: C – In this sentence “ChunLi_____English for three years, but she will need more training to be more proficient.”. We will have to choose between present perfect tense or present perfect progressive tense. The difference between the two is that in the former, although the action might still be happening at present time, we are certain that it will end soon, while in the latter we are sure that the

action will still continue in the future. That is the reason why “has been studying” is the answer. 64. A. C. B. D. Ans: C – the answer is “has been working” because the subject is singular that is why we can’t use have. We must not also use had because it is only used in sentences in the past perfect or past perfect progressive tenses.

65.

A. B. merely enumerating things

C. D. Ans:

66. A. B. C. D. Ans: most appropriate answer.

D – This item concerns parallelism, and option D is the

C – “And” is the answer because we are just

67.

A. C. B D. Ans: B- We Filipinos are fond of using “fill-out”, but the standard rule is “fill-in”. That is why option b is the most appropriate answer. 68. A. C. B. D. Ans: B– Remember that “I” is used as the subject or the doer of the action, while “me” is used as the receiver of the action. In the sentence given in this item the pronoun is the receiver of the action and that is why “me” is the answer. 69. A. C. B. D. Ans: B– Always remember that verbs of senses mat take two forms, (1) as a linking verb, or as an (2) action verb. If it functions as a linking verb, then it must be followed by an adjective. On the other hand, if it functions as an action verb, then it must be followed by an adverb. In this sentence, since that candy is not capable of moving, we can say that “smells” functions as a linking verb, so it must be followed by the adjective “sweet”. 70.

A. B. the most appropriate answer.

C. D. Ans:

B – This item concerns parallelism, and option B is

71. A. C. B. because all the other words have the long /i/ sounds.

D. Ans:

A – “Bear” is the answer

72.

A. C. B. D. Ans: D – “Signed” is the answer because it only has one syllable and that affected its ending /ed/ sound. 73. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – “Warm” is the answer because based on the question, we are to emphasize the kind of day.

74. Ans: 75.

A. C. B. D. D – “Played” is the answer because all the other words are with /t/ end sounds.

A. C. B. D. Ans: D – “Buys” is the answer because all other given words end with /s/ sounds “buys” ends with /z/ sound because the sound before the letter “s” is voiced.

76. A. C. B. D. Ans: B– “These” is the answer because all the other choices start with voiceless /th/. To know if the /th/ sound is voice or voiceless, just cover your ears or put your fingers on your throat and feel if there are vibrations. If there are, then it is voiced, if none, then it is voiceless. 77.

A. C. B. D. Ans: the answer because all other options has either a schwa sound or /a/ sound.

B – “Can” is

78. A. C. B. D. Ans: B– “Breath” is the answer. To know if the /th/ sound is voiced or voiceless, just cover your ears or put your fingers on your throat and feel if there are vibrations. If there are, then it is voiced, if none, then it is voiceless. 79. Ans: 80.

A. C. B. D. “Leisure” is the answer because all the other options have the /sh/ sounds.

A. C. B. D. Ans: D – “Needed” is the answer because among the given options it is only one with more than one syllable-that changed the ending /ed/ sound to /id/. 81.

A. C. B. D. Ans: B – “Push” is the answer because all the options have either /zh/ or /s/ sounds.

82. A. C. B. D. Ans: B – “Excursion” is the answer because all the other options have either /ch/ or /sh/ sounds.

83.

A. B. C. D. Ans: A – In the process of illumination, we can eliminate options C and D because they are too literal. A is a better answer than B because the passage is not about death. 84. A. B. C. D. Ans: given. All other options are against Filipinos leaders.

A – A is the answer because it is the only positive option

85.

A. C. B. D. Ans: B – Because of the context clues found on the statement like “herald” and “day”. These clues will lead us to choosing “dawn” 86. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – We can immediately eliminate option A for the opposite of the statement. D is the better answer than B and C because it has a more positive outlook/interpretation of the lines.

87. C. D. Ans: D – “Has its end” and “Passing” would be the two most appropriate answer, but D is better because of the clues found in the statement like “heard no more.” 88.

A.

C.

B.

D.

Ans: B – “Destiny” is the obvious answer for all the other options are determined by the will of the person – one thing that differs destiny from the rest.

89. A. B. C. . Ans: B – We can immediately eliminate b because it is the opposite of the statement. Options C and D are too negative, and that leads us to the best answer which is A. 90. Ans:

A. C. B. D. A – Because the quotation given is one of Manuel L. Quezon most famous.

91.

A. C. B. D. Ans: A – Because the quotation given is one of Benigno Aquino’s most famous quotes, plus the fact that this quotation can be found on our 500 peso bill. 92. A. C. B. D. Ans: D – “Curiosity” and “rich Imagination” would be our two possible answers, but D is better than c because asking “why” is being curious, while asking “;why not” is being imaginative. 93.

A. C. B. D. Ans: C – “Joy” Because it is the only word that fits the statement right, plus the fact that this quotation is one of the most famous. 94. A. C. B. D. Ans: C – “Total submission to God” is the best answer because all the other options are not related to the given line. 95.

A. Nick Joaquin

C.

B.

97. A. B.

C. D.

C – Jose Rizal D.

Ans: C – These lines were taken from the musical “Cats” and if we are to read/sing these lines, loneliness would be the obvious emotion. 98. Ans:

A. B. C. D.. D – Is the best answer because all other options debunk the main statement.

99.

A. B. C. D. Ans: D – Is the most appropriate answer because all other options are not in anyway related to the quotation and some options debunk the statement. 100. A. B. C. D. Ans: C – Because option C somewhat states that our commitments would describe and determine the person that we are.
