BECE English Language 2024 Objective — Question 26

In the passage below, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the list below the passage, five options are offered in columns lettered A to E. Fill each numbered gap with the most appropriate of the options (Nos. 26 - 35). -26- grow amongst -27- crops and their growth interfere with the -28- growth and -29- of crops. They constitute problems in agriculture in different ways. Weeds compete with cultivated crops for the -30- in the soil. Weeds grow rapidly, crowd and cover young cultivated -31- and in this way prevent them from growing well. Some weeds have very broad -32- with which they shade the cultivated crops. When this happens, there is very little -33- for the crops to grow successfully. Other weeds produce chemicals in the -34- which kills -35-. Fill the gap marked -26-.
