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:

The college was worried about Tunji;s garrulous tendency

Answer Details
The word "garrulous" means excessively talkative, so the opposite of this would be someone who is more reserved in their speech. Therefore, the most appropriate option would be "reticent" which means silent or reserved in speech.
