Correct answer: fully

Explanation: The word 'fully' fits grammatically as it is an adverb that modifies the adjective 'qualified,' indicating a complete level of qualification. Contextually, it emphasizes that the qualifications gained will be comprehensive, aligning with the overall message of readiness for university.

Meaning: 'Fully' means completely or entirely, suggesting that after the course, you will have all the necessary qualifications to start a degree.

Wrong options:

  • certainly: 'Certainly' is an adverb that expresses certainty but does not modify 'qualified' in a way that indicates completeness, making it less suitable here.
  • all: 'All' is a determiner that does not grammatically fit as it cannot modify 'qualified' directly in this context.
  • complete: 'Complete' is an adjective and does not function correctly as an adverb in this sentence, failing to modify 'qualified' appropriately.
Correct answer: such

Explanation: The word 'such' is used to introduce examples and fits grammatically as it refers back to the types of subjects mentioned. Contextually, it indicates that teaching and social work are examples of the subjects available, aligning with the structure of the sentence.

Meaning: 'Such' means of the type previously mentioned, indicating that the examples given (teaching and social work) are representative of a broader category.

Wrong options:

  • like: 'Like' is used for comparisons and does not fit grammatically as it does not introduce examples in the same way as 'such.'
  • similar: 'Similar' is an adjective that does not grammatically fit in this context, as it cannot introduce examples effectively.
  • so: 'So' is a conjunction that does not serve the purpose of introducing examples and does not fit grammatically in this context.
Correct answer: to succeed

Explanation: The phrase 'to succeed' fits grammatically as it uses the infinitive form, which is appropriate after the phrase 'you need.' Contextually, it indicates the purpose of developing confidence, which is to achieve success in a professional environment.

Meaning: 'To succeed' means to achieve a desired aim or result, indicating that the confidence developed will help in achieving success.

Wrong options:

  • succeed: 'Succeed' is the base form of the verb and does not fit grammatically after 'need' as it requires an infinitive form.
  • succeeding: 'Succeeding' is a gerund and does not fit grammatically after 'need' in this context, as it does not convey purpose effectively.
  • succeeded: 'Succeeded' is the past tense form and does not fit grammatically or contextually, as it does not indicate a future intention.
Correct answer: expected

Explanation: The word 'expected' fits grammatically as it is the past participle used in a passive construction, indicating what is anticipated of the students. Contextually, it aligns with the idea that students are required to meet certain obligations during the course.

Meaning: 'Expected' means regarded as likely to happen or anticipated, indicating that attendance and participation are requirements for students.

Wrong options:

  • hoped: 'Hoped' implies a desire rather than an obligation, making it unsuitable in this context where attendance is mandatory.
  • wished: 'Wished' also conveys a desire and does not fit the context of an obligation or requirement for students.
  • waited: 'Waited' does not fit grammatically or contextually, as it implies inaction rather than the expectation of active participation.
Correct answer: deal

Explanation: The word 'deal' fits grammatically as it is a noun that refers to a significant amount of something, which in this case is work. Contextually, it emphasizes the extent of effort required from students outside the classroom.

Meaning: 'Deal' means a large amount or quantity, indicating that students should be ready to commit significant effort to their studies.

Wrong options:

  • lot: 'Lot' is a noun that can mean a large amount, but it is less formal than 'deal' and does not fit the tone of the text as well.
  • quantity: 'Quantity' is a noun that refers to an amount but lacks the idiomatic usage that 'deal' provides in this context, making it less natural.
  • measure: 'Measure' refers to a standard unit and does not convey the idea of a large amount of work in the same idiomatic way as 'deal'.
