Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 1993 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the word(s) underlined:

We have found that cassava is a sine qua non item in our industry

Answer Details
The underlined phrase "sine qua non" means something that is absolutely essential or necessary. Therefore, the word that is opposite in meaning to "sine qua non" is "dispensable" which means something that is not essential or necessary and can be done away with. So, the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the underlined phrase is "dispensable".
