materials on this channel we have a couple of quick but important notes for you in relation to the oop cat language proficiency subtest first the oop cat language proficiency subtest consists of questions in both English and Filipino this must have come as a big surprise to many previous oop cat takers who went to take their oocat assuming wrongly that the language proficiency subcast is all in English the sooner that you know this the better you can prepare for this reality how much of the language proficiency subtest is in English and how much is in Filipino it varies from oop cat to oop cat it can be as high as 80 20 in favor of English or it can be an even 50 50. for the purpose of this reviewer we assume an even 50 50 ratio second in consideration of the non-tagalog speakers who are watching this reviewer video we are presenting an English the explanations of the answers to the Filipino language proficiency subtest giving translations as in when appropriate now let's begin [Music] question number one choose the word or phrase that best fits the meaning of the underlying phrase to cut the debate short he took a deep breath raised his voice and began putting his two cents in the underlying phrase is putting his two cents in your answer Choice are a driving people to agree with him B talking in a machine-like manner C interrupting the discussion in the rudely manner D sharing his opinion on the subject the correct answer is D sharing his opinion on the subject we know that in a debate each party will have the opportunity to State their arguments we are looking for a phrase that will make his party win the debate my two cents and its longer version put my two cents in is an American idiomatic expression taken from the original English idiom to put in my company work it means sharing one's opinion on a subject matter which fits the context of a given sentence the other options are not likely to make him and his party win in the debate [Music] question number two complete the sentence by choosing the best answer it was the first time blank that the two got the chance to meet and the first thing he remarked was how blank she looked after going through therapy a in years emancipated B after years emaciated seeing years emaciated day after year emancipated [Music] the correct answer is C in news emaciated this is a question about prepositions and adjectives the context of the sentence suggests that her physique has changed drastically after undergoing therapy only the word emaciated which means abnormally thin or weak can describe her so we can eliminate the choices with the adjective emancipated between the remaining two choices we have to settle with the one with the preposition in to indicate a span of time the completed sentence should read as it was the first time in years that the two got the chance to meet and the first thing he remarked was how emaciated she looked after going through therapy [Music] question number three which of the following has the most effective and ambiguous expression of grammar a Betsy would have left the school premises if their driver had not arrived that night fee Betsy will leave the school premises if their driver does not arrive that night see that night Betsy will have left the school premises if their driver did not arrived D that night Betsy would leave the school premises if their driver does not arrive the sentence that has the most effective and unambiguous expression of grammar is a Betsy would have left the school premises if their driver had not arrived that night contains the correct pairing of verbs that can be used in conditional sentences [Music] question number four select the letter that represents the correct order of the sentences sentence one these large moons named IO Europa anime and Callisto are each distinctive worlds sent this to the German astronomer Simon Marius claimed to have seen the moons around the same time 3. the planet Jupiter's four largest moons are called the Galilean Satellites after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei who first observed them in 1610 sentence four however Marius did not publish his observations and so Galileo was given the credit for their Discovery your choices are a 3142 B 3214 C 3241 d-3421 the correct answer is C 3241 this question is about paragraph organization among the choices the best sequence is choice three two four one because the idea in sentence 2 is negated by the idea in sentence for hence sentence two must immediately be followed by sentence four 3124 is also possible but it is not among the answer choices and it is only a choice C where sentence two is immediately followed by sentence four the paragraph with the correct order of sentences should read as follows the planet Jupiter's four largest moons are called the Galilean Satellites after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei who first observed them in 1610 the German astronomer Simon Mary is claimed to have seen the moons around the same time however Marius did not publish his observations and so Galileo was given the credit for their Discovery these large moons named IO Europa Ganymede and Callisto are each distinctive worlds foreign [Music] select the answer that contains an error in grammar usage word choice or idiom if you think there is none choose no error since time immemorial indigenous peoples from all around the world had been in the Forefront of a fight against developmental aggression that causes damage to the environment your answer choices are a indigenous peoples B had been seeing the Forefront D that causes damage e no error the correct answer is B the time marker since time immemorial suggests that the action started in the past and still continues up to the present so we have to change the past perfect had been to the present perfect at Ben the corrected sentence should read as since time immemorial indigenous peoples from all around the world have been in the Forefront of the fight against developmental aggression that causes damage to the environment [Music] foreign number six [Music] lingo [Music] the correct answer is a this Filipino language proficiency question is about the Filipino homonym Hong the word Nong spelled NG and the first set of underlined words must be changed to non-spelled n-a-n-g since it is followed by the phrase dalawang lingo two weeks which can be inferred to be an adverb because it answers the question how long the corrected sentence should read as foreign [Music] foreign [Music] the correct answer is the choices ravaged or plague and attack are not appropriate since we are talking about fire between consumed past tense and to turn into Ash future tense we should settle with the former because of the time marker three years since the completed sentence should read as foreign [Music] question number eight one Hindi parasa is the correct answer is the 31524 this question is about sentence organization in Filipino we have to look for the ending part of the supposed sentence because the sentence can start with either one five or three one and there are two choices for each we can eliminate the choices that end with two because the fears of the Savage cannot end the sentence the choice ending with three is also wrong because we cannot end with a comma therefore the only possible answer is three one five two four The Logical and proper sentence should read as this approximately translates to according to him or he said the Savage city is not for the weak question number nine um [Music] the correct answer is a question is about vocabulary idiomatic expressions in Filipino the instruction is to select the answer that has the same or similar meaning to the underlined word or phrase we can infer from the two unfortunate events that is one woke up late 2. train broke down Deputy fell the speaker that he or she must already look pitiful by the time he or she arrived in the campus the Filipino idiomatic expression which literally translates to wet chicken English means in a pitiful state or abandoned foreign [Music] Punto [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] comes after another sentence sentence five should come before one therefore Choice a is incorrect leaving us with Choice C is the correct answer the logical and properly organized paragraph should read as lectures [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] you have just completed a cat reviewer number three which featured questions for the oop cat language proficiency subtest if you wish
