Read the passage below and answer Questions 37–50.
Every morning, Raju woke up at 6 a.m. to the sound of his mother's voice calling him from the kitchen. His mother always prepared a simple but hearty breakfast — usually two slices of toast with kaya and a glass of warm milk. Raju would eat quickly, pack his school bag, and rush to the bus stop.
One rainy Monday morning, Raju arrived at the bus stop and realised that he had forgotten his wallet. He panicked. Without his EZ-Link card, he could not take the bus. He did not want to be late for school, especially because there was a Mathematics test that day.
Just as Raju was about to run home, an elderly woman approached him. She was carrying a large umbrella and wearing a bright yellow raincoat. "Are you all right, boy?" she asked kindly.
Raju explained his problem. Without hesitation, the woman took out her own EZ-Link card and tapped it for him at the bus stop gantry. "Don't worry," she said with a warm smile. "I remember when I was young, a stranger once helped me too. Just pass it on someday."
Raju was deeply moved. He thanked the woman repeatedly and promised that he would help someone else when he could. That day, he scored well in his Mathematics test, but more importantly, he learned a valuable lesson about kindness.
From that day on, Raju always kept a spare dollar coin in his pocket — just in case someone else needed help.

Answer Key — Practice Paper 2 of 5
Booklet A (20 marks)
Section A: Grammar MCQ (10 marks)
1. (3) finished
Explanation: The word "yesterday" indicates past tense. "The children" is plural, so the past tense form "finished" is correct.
[1 mark]
2. (2) were
Explanation: With "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. "Pupils" is plural, so "were" is correct.
[1 mark]
3. (3) where
Explanation: The question is about a place (where the school bag was put), so "where" is the correct interrogative word.
[1 mark]
4. (2) which
Explanation: "Which" is used for animals and things. "Who" is for people. The cat is an animal, so "which" is correct.
[1 mark]
5. (2) were
Explanation: "A lot of people" is plural, and "last night" indicates past tense. Therefore, "were" is correct.
[1 mark]
6. (4) studying
Explanation: The sentence requires a present participle to form a reduced relative clause. "The pupils studying in the library" = "The pupils who are studying in the library."
[1 mark]
7. (2) rains
Explanation: This is a Type 1 conditional (real/likely future). The "if" clause uses present simple ("rains"), and the main clause uses "will."
[1 mark]
8. (1) is
Explanation: "Team" is a collective noun. When the group acts as a single unit, use a singular verb. "The team is practising" is correct.
[1 mark]
9. (2) since
Explanation: "Since" is used with a specific point in time (e.g., 7 o'clock). "For" is used with a duration (e.g., for three hours).
[1 mark]
10. (3) which
Explanation: "Which" is used for things. "The book which I borrowed" is correct. "Who" is for people; "where" refers to places.
[1 mark]
Section B: Vocabulary MCQ (6 marks)
11. (2) huge
Explanation: "Enormous" means very large, and "huge" is the closest synonym.
[1 mark]
12. (2) selfish
Explanation: "Generous" means willing to give or share. The opposite is "selfish," which means caring only about oneself.
[1 mark]
13. (2) unwilling and hesitant
Explanation: The context clue "because he was afraid of deep water" suggests Amin did not want to join. "Reluctant" means unwilling or hesitant.
[1 mark]
14. (2) impossible
Explanation: The prefix "im-" means "not." "Impossible" means "not possible," which fits the context of something so amazing it seems unbelievable.
[1 mark]
15. (2) helpful
Explanation: The suffix "-ful" turns the noun "help" into the adjective "helpful," meaning "full of help" or "willing to help."
[1 mark]
16. (3) construction
Explanation: The sentence requires a noun. "Construction" is the noun form of "construct." "The construction of the old building" refers to the process of building it.
[1 mark]
Section C: Grammar Cloze (4 marks)
17. went
Explanation: "Last Saturday" indicates past tense. The past tense of "go" is "went."
[1 mark]
18. had been
Explanation: "Since 9 o'clock" indicates a duration from a past point up to another past moment. The past perfect tense "had been" is appropriate here (or "had been there" / "had arrived"). Accept "had been" or "arrived."
[1 mark]
19. who
Explanation: "Who" is used for people. Raju's brother is a person, so "who" is the correct relative pronoun.
[1 mark]
20. were
Explanation: "The pandas" is plural, and the action was ongoing in the past ("when we arrived"). The past continuous "were eating" is correct.
[1 mark]
Booklet B (30 marks)

[1 mark]

Section E: Editing (5 marks)
26. was → were
Explanation: "The boys" is plural, so the verb must be "were," not "was."
[1 mark]
27. have → has / since → for
Explanation: "She" is singular third person, so "has" is correct (not "have"). Also, "since" should be "for" because "three years" is a duration, not a point in time. Accept either correction.
[1 mark]
Marking note: Award 1 mark if the student identifies either error and corrects it.
28. it's → its
Explanation: "It's" means "it is." The possessive form "its" (without apostrophe) is needed here.

Explanation: "I" is the subject pronoun. "My sister and I" is the subject of the sentence.

[1 mark]
Marking note: Accept any reasonable answer about kindness or helping others.
46. He always kept a spare dollar coin in his pocket in case someone else needed help.
[1 mark]
47. No, Raju would probably not have been able to get to school on time. He had forgotten his wallet and did not have his EZ-Link card, so he could not take the bus. Running home to get his wallet and then returning to the bus stop would have taken too long, and he would have been late for his Mathematics test.
[2 marks]
Marking scheme:
- 1 mark for a reasonable "no" with a basic reason.
- 2 marks for a well-explained answer with reference to the passage (e.g., no EZ-Link card, running home would take too long, risk of being late).
48. The elderly woman helped Raju because she remembered that a stranger had once helped her when she was young. She believed in passing on kindness to others. This tells us that she is a kind, grateful, and thoughtful person who believes in helping others without expecting anything in return.
[2 marks]
Marking scheme:
- 1 mark for identifying that she was helped before and wanted to pass on kindness.
- 1 mark for describing her character (kind, grateful, thoughtful, generous, etc.).
