P2 English SA2 2025 — Maha Bodhi | Singapore Past Year Paper

Q: 1. Jay ____ to the zoo with his family last week. (1) go (2) goes (3) went

3. went. The phrase 'last week' indicates that the action happened in the past. Therefore, the past tense form of 'go', which is 'went', is the correct verb to use.

Q: 2. My mother ____ a chocolate cake for my birthday. The nice smell made my stomach rumble. (1) is baking (2) was baking (3) were baking

2. was baking. The sentence implies a past action ('was baking') that resulted in a present observation ('nice smell'). 'My mother' is a singular subject, so 'was baking' (past continuous) is the appropriate choice. 'Is baking' is present continuous, and 'were baking' is for plural subjects.

Q: 3. "Look at ____ butterflies over there! They have such beautiful wings!" Aaron said. (1) that (2) these (3) those

3. those. The phrase 'over there' indicates that the butterflies are at a distance. Since 'butterflies' is a plural noun, 'those' is the correct demonstrative pronoun to refer to plural items that are far away.

Q: 4. Ella felt thirsty because she forgot to bring ____ water bottle to school. (1) my (2) his (3) her

3. her. 'Ella' is a female name, so the possessive pronoun that refers to her is 'her'. 'My' refers to the speaker, and 'his' refers to a male.

Q: 5. He climbed ____ the ladder to reach the top shelf. (1) up (2) down (3) under

1. up. To 'reach the top shelf' on a ladder, one must move in an upward direction. Therefore, 'up' is the appropriate preposition to describe the action of climbing.

Q: 6. "Yummy! The pizza is so ____. Can I have more, please?" Chloe asked politely. (1) smelly (2) horrible (3) delicious

3. delicious. The exclamation 'Yummy!' indicates that the pizza tastes very good. 'Delicious' means highly pleasant to the taste, which fits this context. 'Smelly' often implies a bad smell, and 'horrible' means very unpleasant.

Q: 7. Please bring your ____ along when you go out. It is going to rain this afternoon. (1) jacket (2) raincoat (3) hairbrush

2. raincoat. If it is going to rain, a 'raincoat' is the most suitable item to wear to stay dry and protect oneself from the rain. A jacket might not be waterproof, and a hairbrush is unrelated to rain protection.

Q: 8. When Mother saw Brian's messy room, she ____ "Brian, come here and clean your room now!" (1) yelled (2) squeaked (3) whispered

1. yelled. A command like "Brian, come here and clean your room now!" is typically delivered with a strong, loud tone, especially when a parent is upset about a messy room. 'Yelled' implies speaking loudly, which is fitting. 'Squeaked' suggests a high-pitched, weak sound, and 'whispered' means speaking softly.

Q: 9. My teacher told us to talk ____ among ourselves. Some of our classmates were still doing their work. (1) loudly (2) softly (3) noisily

2. softly. If some classmates are still working, the teacher would instruct the others to speak quietly to avoid disturbing them. 'Softly' means quietly, which is appropriate for maintaining a conducive study environment. 'Loudly' and 'noisily' would create disturbance.
