Truancy has become a serious problem in many schools in recent years. In an attempt to tackle this problem one school introduced a new scheme to students to attend as many classes as possible. Pupils who a 100% attendance record throughout the whole academic year were with an all-inclusive weekend school trip to an activity centre where they would be able to have a go at activities such as climbing, abseiling and white water rafting.
One student was so keen to qualify for this free weekend away that he even went to school with a broken wrist. He hurt his wrist when he fell off his bike on the way to school but he was so worried about his 100% attendance that he didn’t tell his teachers or parents until the school day had finished. He admitted to his mother what had happened when she noticed that he was having difficulty eating his dinner and asked him what was wrong. She took him to hospital that night, where they put his arm in plaster and he was able to go back to school the next day.

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: encourage
Explanation: The word 'encourage' fits grammatically as it is a verb that conveys the action of motivating students to attend classes. It aligns contextually with the intention of the school to promote attendance, making it the most suitable choice.
Meaning: 'Encourage' means to give support, confidence, or hope to someone, in this case, motivating students to attend classes.
Wrong options:
suggest: 'Suggest' implies offering an idea or recommendation, which lacks the proactive connotation needed in this context.
force: 'Force' indicates coercion, which does not align with the supportive approach intended by the school.
make: 'Make' is too vague and does not convey the positive motivation that 'encourage' does.
Correct answer: achieved
Explanation: The word 'achieved' is the correct verb form that indicates successfully reaching a goal, which in this case is a 100% attendance record. It fits grammatically and contextually as it reflects the accomplishment of the students.
Meaning: 'Achieved' means to successfully reach a desired objective or result, specifically in this context, maintaining perfect attendance.
Wrong options:
succeeded: 'Succeeded' is a synonym but is less specific in this context, as it does not directly relate to attendance records.
made: 'Made' is too general and does not convey the sense of accomplishment that 'achieved' does.
realised: 'Realised' implies becoming aware of something rather than accomplishing a goal, making it unsuitable here.
Correct answer: rewarded
Explanation: The word 'rewarded' is the correct past participle that indicates giving a prize or recognition for an achievement. It fits both grammatically and contextually, as it describes the action taken by the school for students with perfect attendance.
Meaning: 'Rewarded' means to give something in recognition of a service, effort, or achievement, in this case, a trip for good attendance.
Wrong options:
given: 'Given' is too vague and does not convey the sense of a positive acknowledgment that 'rewarded' implies.
won: 'Won' suggests a competitive context, which does not apply here as attendance is not a competition.
compensated: 'Compensated' implies a payment for loss or injury, which does not fit the context of rewarding students for attendance.
Correct answer: outdoor
Explanation: The word 'outdoor' is an adjective that describes activities taking place outside. It fits grammatically and contextually as it specifies the type of activities available during the trip.
Meaning: 'Outdoor' refers to activities that occur outside, such as climbing and rafting, which are relevant to the context of the trip.
Wrong options:
outside: 'Outside' is an adverb and does not function as an adjective to describe activities.
risk: 'Risk' refers to the possibility of harm or loss, which does not describe the nature of the activities.
danger: 'Danger' indicates a threat or harm, which is not relevant to the description of the activities offered.
Correct answer: maintaining
Explanation: The word 'maintaining' is a gerund that indicates the ongoing action of keeping up with his attendance. It fits grammatically and contextually as it reflects his concern about continuing his perfect attendance record.
Meaning: 'Maintaining' means to keep something in a particular state or condition, in this case, his 100% attendance.
Wrong options:
filling: 'Filling' implies completing something, which does not relate to the concept of attendance.
guarding: 'Guarding' suggests protecting something, which does not fit the context of attendance.
succeeding: 'Succeeding' implies achieving a goal but does not convey the ongoing effort required to keep up attendance.
Correct answer: eventually
Explanation: The word 'eventually' is an adverb that indicates something happening after a period of time. It fits grammatically and contextually as it describes the timing of his admission to his mother.
Meaning: 'Eventually' means at a later time or after some delay, indicating that he admitted the truth after some time had passed.
Wrong options:
lastly: 'Lastly' implies the final point in a sequence, which does not fit the context of his admission.
actually: 'Actually' is used to emphasize the truth of a statement but does not convey the timing aspect needed here.
fortunately: 'Fortunately' implies a positive outcome, which does not accurately describe the situation of his admission.
