Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 2014 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word or phrase. Musa is a gifted but erratic player.
Answer Details
The opposite of "erratic" is "regular". When we describe someone or something as "erratic", it means that their behavior or performance is unpredictable, irregular, or inconsistent. Therefore, if we want to choose the option that is opposite in meaning, we need to look for a word that conveys the opposite idea of unpredictability and irregularity, which is regularity. "Regular" means that someone or something happens or behaves in a predictable, consistent, and dependable way. So, if we say that Musa is a "gifted but regular player", it means that he is talented and performs well in a consistent and dependable way.
