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

Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the option opposite in meaning to the word underlined:

My father is a very prosperous businessman

Answer Details
The opposite in meaning to the word "prosperous" is "unsuccessful." The word "prosperous" means successful, thriving, or doing well financially. Therefore, the word that is the opposite in meaning or antonym of "prosperous" is "unsuccessful," which means not successful or not doing well financially. The sentence implies that the speaker's father is doing well financially, so the option that is opposite in meaning would indicate that he is not doing well financially. Therefore, the correct option is "unsuccessful."
