What bece-style objectives — set a means

In this practice set, you answer short exam-style English questions on grammar, word meaning, and sentence use. It helps you read carefully, choose the best option, and build the skill needed for Junior High school tests and BECE preparation.

What you will practise

  • Choose the correct verb form in a sentence.
  • Pick a word with a similar meaning.
  • Pick a word with the opposite meaning.
  • Use context to decide the best answer quickly.

Before you start

You should already know basic sentence structure and common parts of speech. It also helps if you can read simple words and understand common vocabulary.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "Neither Kofi nor his brothers ___ at home."

  • is
  • was
  • are
  • has been
Answer: are

Working: With "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the nearer subject, "brothers" (plural).

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Ignoring the nearer subject in a neither...nor sentence and choosing the wrong verb form.
  • Guessing word meaning without checking the whole sentence context.
  • Confusing similar words and opposite words during vocabulary questions.
  • Rushing the options and missing small grammar clues such as number and agreement.
