Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 1991 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word(s) or phrase(s) underlined:

He has been advised to keep his head,the confusion not withstanding

Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined phrase "keep his head" is "keep calm." The phrase "keep his head" means to remain calm and level-headed in a difficult or confusing situation. In the context of the sentence, the phrase "the confusion notwithstanding" suggests that there is some confusion or chaos that the person is facing. Therefore, the best option that conveys the same meaning as "keep his head" is "keep calm," which means to remain composed and not get overly emotional or agitated in a difficult situation. So, the complete sentence would mean that someone has advised him to remain calm despite the confusion.
