Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 2024 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

Choose the option that best completes the sentence.

My father loves bringing ___ old memories. 

Answer Details

The correct option to complete the sentence is "up". In the context of the sentence, "bringing up old memories" means mentioning or recalling memories that have happened in the past. The phrasal verb "bring up" is commonly used when you want to talk about starting to talk about a certain topic or subject.


The other options don't fit well in this context:

  • "in" - "Bringing in" is typically used when you want to state that something is being brought to a place or included, but it doesn’t logically fit in the context of recollecting memories.
  • "down" - "Bringing down" usually means to reduce or cause to fall, which is unrelated to recalling memories.
  • "over" - "Bringing over" often refers to physically taking someone or something to a place, but not in the context of discussing or remembering memories.
