Regina pleaded with her son to ........ the habit of smoking.

Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2021 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

Regina pleaded with her son to ........ the habit of smoking.

Answer Details
Regina pleaded with her son to come off the habit of smoking. "Come off" is a phrasal verb that means to stop doing something or to overcome a habit. In this sentence, Regina is asking her son to stop smoking. The other options, "come out," "come over," and "come from," do not convey the meaning of stopping a habit, so they are not the correct choice.
