Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 1999 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The workers.........payment of their leave allowance
Answer Details
The correct option is "demanded", lettered C. To "demand" means to ask for something forcefully and assertively, often because it is seen as owed or deserved. In the context of the sentence, the workers are requesting for payment of their leave allowance in a forceful and assertive manner. Therefore, "demanded" is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank space. Option A "demanded for" is incorrect because "for" is unnecessary after "demanded" as it is already implied. Option B "demanded over" is incorrect because "over" suggests a disagreement or conflict, which is not stated in the sentence. Option D "demanding" is incorrect because it is in the present participle form and does not match with the past tense of the sentence.
