Samsonyte: The example u cited above, the correct answer is D. As for the Government stuff, it takes a singular count noun. e.g EFCC is working hard to reduce corruption to the bearest minimum. If you are dealing with this kind of noun, you don't put the number of people working in the organisation into consideration. |

DrBESTJC: You are welcome sir. wish you the best of luck in your Mock Exam |
Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by afoobabs(m): 11:28am On Feb 23, 2018 |
Samsonyte:Samson calm down oooo dont get urself confused the first question you are arguing on Choose the correct option. The government which.........recruiting..........workers suddenly stopped doing so. (A) are/its (B) was/its (C) is/their (D) were/their. in this context a plural verb cannot be used with government ooo although government comprise of a lot of people but the name government has put all of them in a singular entity so government will be treated as a singular therefore option B is correct the government which is recruiting its workers suddenly stopped doing so another example 1. The presidency has issue a statement on the abduction of school girls in Yobe. presidency in this example does not mean the president alone but himself, his cabinet, his advisers, and every one that works in president office has been put together in singular entity. you will notice that a singular supporting verb (has) is used. 2. Bacelona Fc has lost out in the UEFA champions league. bacelona fc comprise of over 11 players, managers, fans, etc. but they have become a singular entity so a singular verb will be used. ALso note that government can be pluralise by adding (s) eg. The governments of the three superpowers are alike in essence in this case it is plural and a plural verb must follow. Now the example you cited in your argument, u also got it wrong One of the girls who ____ impregnated ____ died a. was / have b. were / have c. was / has d. were / has the question is very dicey one to answer rule: any question that has who which whose to get the subject u will look for the closest noun to the adjective who, which, or whose. in this case, (girls) is the closest subject/noun to (who). so we go with (were) plural past and the second clause the subject is (one of) so we go with (has) singular One of the girls who were impregnated has died correct meaning a couple of girls were impregnated and one of them has died cc: iamgoke DrBESTJC |

DrBESTJC: Date will not be communicated to those that did not register right?? |
Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by afoobabs(m): 11:54am On Feb 23, 2018 |
DrBESTJC:@iamgoke and Samsonyte: i want to believe both of you got it wrong like samson said a percentage of something should attract a plural verb, while the second clause should also attract a plural verb (were) note: its (huts plural) not (hut singular) assuming their huts are twenty in number (i believe you know that a place with one or two huts cannot be referred to as a village) half of the huts should be 10 huts so its still plural. the correct option is A.

afoobabs: Wait!!! I'm already sweating trying to understand this topic... These BLOCK PLURAL GROUPS(such as....The poor, The handicapped, The aged,.... and so on) or UNMARKED PLURALS(such as......police, vermin, folk, youth, cattle....and so on ) are really very confusing. My textbook(INVISCIBLE TEACHER) says that the two should be treated as plurals and they take plural verbs. Let's take a critical look at these questions because they look alike... 1: The government which......recruiting........workers suddenly stopped doing so. (A) are/its (B) was/its (C) is/their (D) were/their 2: The police........happy about the dwindling crime rate. (A) says they are (B) say it is (C) say they are (D) says it is 3: The helpless............our sympathy. (A) require (B) requires (C) does require (D) do requires 4: The vermin on his body........hideous. (A) makes the lunatic look (B) make the lunatic look (C) makes the lunatic to look (D) make the lunatic to look Anybody that knows the CORRECT ANSWER with the CORRECT EXPLANATION should help out... |

Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by afoobabs(m): 8:27pm On Feb 23, 2018 |
DrBESTJC:don't sweat its simple government is different from all what u mentioned up there wen govt is in its own plural form it takes (s) eg governments of the three superpowers are same in essence but police poor helpless remain d same both in plural and singular form don't forget there are exceptions in the rules of grammar example it is said any where you see (to) the verb that will follows must be ing eg look forward to seeing you she confessed to committing the crime. but I can say I am going to read tonight. which is also correct. remember collocation |

Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Samsonyte(m): 12:51am On Feb 24, 2018 |
IamGoke:Thanks for correction, the correct answer is D for the example cited and thanks for the explanation |
Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Samsonyte(m): 12:59am On Feb 24, 2018 |
afoobabs:Yea the correct answer is D. The example I cited above, my explanation is correct but I mistakenly choose option C instead of D But Sir this question is from notional concord 'which' refers to 'the government' which we are to use as the subject. So, which of the verbs and pronouns are to used with government? Since the government is considered performing action (recruiting) we are bound to consider government in notional terms, using notional concord applicable rules. a club, a class, a church are all one, each but each contains people. The government by notion contains official s who act (recruit). So we are bound to see government as plural (government official s recruiting) so, we are to use were and their, in reference but, if the government or the named group is not said to have performed action, e.g The government is four years today, four years today (no action mention) then, the singular verb and pronoun must be used. So the correct option is D |

I have written my mock examination,and I thank God this is just mock...........I go say e dey bittersweet We came in the morning and were required to pay 700 naira to be permitted to write the exam and I can say that JAMB is just milking nigerian students dry through this exam.We paid 700naira for the mock registration and just a day or two to the mock exam date, they sent us a message requiring us to pay another 700naira to be able to write the mock ![]() We did thumbprinting and went into the hall with CCTV cameras mounted at strategic positions.At about 9:00AM,we were asked to log in and write. ........and I logged in..... I checked one of my most dreaded subjects PHYSICS.40 questions were asked and some of the questions I could recall are these: (please let somebody solve and provide their answers.) 1: If y = A sin(750pt - 0.04px),determine the velocity of the wave. 2: P-type semiconductors are produced by doping the target materials with a.... (A) bivalent material (B) pentavalent (C) tetravalent material (D) trivalent material 3:Optical fibre operates on the principle of (A) diffraction of waves (B) polarization of waves (C) total internal reflection (D) Refraction of waves For CHEMISTRY....same 40 questions: 1:The action of ethyl chloride on ammonia will produce (A) amino acid (B) Primary amines (C) secondary amines (D) tertiary amines 2:Calculate the molar mass in g/mol of an alkyne represented by C11H16 (A) 112 (B) 124 (C) 208 (D) 100 3:Which of the allotropes of tin exists at room temperature (A) monoclinic (B) Rhombic (C) grey (D) white For ENGLISH,60 questions were asked and about 7 questions from independence....it was ok For BIOLOGY,40 questions were asked but tough. MY EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE: I saw many questions lifted exactly from past questions.So it will be wise to study your pastquestions very well.Also TIME IS NO MAN'S FRIEND! Many people could'nt finish when their systems authomatically submitted their works. I think this is enough to help a fellow aspirant. In two/three weeks time,IT WILL ALL BE OVER!!!...........and I wish you guys an unprecedented success in your exams..... 3 Likes |
