Question 1 Report

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

Aduke: Ngozi, let's visit the market. Ngozi: if you insist, Ngozi

Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined phrase "if you insist" is "is not keen on going with Aduke." "If you insist" is a polite phrase used to show reluctance or hesitation, which suggests that Ngozi may not be very interested in going to the market. This is supported by the fact that she needs convincing to go along with Aduke's suggestion. Therefore, the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined phrase should also express hesitation or reluctance, which is "is not keen on going with Aduke." It means that Ngozi is not very interested in going to the market, but she is willing to do so because Aduke wants to go.
