Section A — Literature & Comprehension

“He is ________ teacher who taught us Science.”Articles

[Choose the correct article]

A a

B an

C the

D No article needed

✅ Correct Answer: A

‘A’ is used before words beginning with a consonant sound. ‘Teacher’ starts with the consonant sound /t/, so ‘a teacher’ is correct. ‘An’ is used before vowel sounds only — e.g. ‘an engineer’, ‘an honest man’, ‘an umbrella’.

“________ cancer is curable.”Prepositional Phrases

[Choose the correct prepositional phrase]

A For a great extent

B In a great extent

C To a great extent

D By a great extent

✅ Correct Answer: C

‘To a great extent’ is the correct fixed prepositional phrase. It means ‘largely’ or ‘mostly’. ‘For’, ‘in’, and ‘by’ are all grammatically incorrect with this expression.

“The rich black soil has been cared for by the same family for over 120 years.” The underlined verb form is:Tenses

[Choose the correct tense form]

A Simple past passive

B Past perfect passive

C Present perfect passive

D Present continuous passive

✅ Correct Answer: C

Present perfect passive = has/have + been + past participle. “Has been cared for” shows an action that began in the past and continues to the present. “Was cared for” = simple past; “had been cared for” = past perfect.

“We have been waiting ________ morning.”Prepositions

[Choose the correct preposition]

A for

B since

C from

D until

✅ Correct Answer: B

‘Since’ is used with a specific point in time (morning, Monday, 2020). ‘For’ is used with a period of duration (three hours, two days). ‘Morning’ is a specific point in time → use ‘since’.

“He acted ________ my instructions.”Prepositional Phrases

[Choose the correct prepositional phrase]

A according with

B according to

C accordance with

D according of

✅ Correct Answer: B

‘According to’ is the correct prepositional phrase meaning ‘in a way that agrees with’. Note: ‘in accordance with’ is also correct but is a different phrase. ‘According with’ and ‘according of’ are grammatically wrong.

“I couldn’t sleep so I tried ________ (drink) some hot milk.” Choose the correct verb form:Gerund / Infinitive

[Choose the correct form of verb]

A to drink

B drinking

C drunk

D drink

✅ Correct Answer: B

“Try + gerund (verb+ing)” means to experiment with something as a possible solution. “I tried drinking hot milk” = I experimented with it to solve my sleeplessness. “Try + to infinitive” means to make an effort to do something difficult.

“Ali is not allowed to stay out late.” Which modal correctly expresses the same meaning?Modal Verbs

[Choose the correct modal]

A Ali may not stay out late

B Ali might not stay out late

C Ali need not stay out late

D Ali should not stay out late

✅ Correct Answer: A

‘May not’ expresses prohibition or lack of permission — same meaning as ‘not allowed to’. ‘Might not’ = possibility. ‘Need not’ = unnecessary. ‘Should not’ = advice. Only ‘may not’ correctly replaces ‘not allowed to’.

“A ________ of locusts attacked the crops while a ________ of cattle grazed nearby.”Collective Nouns

[Choose the correct collective nouns in order]

A flock, pack

B gang, flock

C swarm, herd

D pack, swarm

✅ Correct Answer: C

Correct collective nouns: locusts = ‘swarm’; cattle = ‘herd’. Flock = birds or sheep; pack = wolves or dogs; gang = thieves or workers. These are standard collective nouns tested in KPK English exams.

“________ his children, his nephews and nieces were also present at the ceremony.”Prepositions

[Choose the correct preposition]

A Beside

B Besides

C Accept

D Except

✅ Correct Answer: B

‘Besides’ means ‘in addition to’. ‘Beside’ means ‘next to’ (physical position). The sentence adds nephews and nieces to children — so ‘besides’ (in addition to) is correct. ‘Except’ means excluding — the opposite meaning.

“Please don’t forget ________ (pick up) some juice on your way home.”Gerund / Infinitive

[Choose the correct form of verb]

A to pick up

B picking up

C picked up

D pick up

✅ Correct Answer: A

“Forget + to infinitive” refers to forgetting to do a future task. “Don’t forget to pick up” = remember to do this. “Forget + gerund” refers to forgetting a past action already done, e.g. “I forgot meeting him.”
