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.
He............not retort when I am speaking.
Answer Details
The correct option for the sentence is B - dares. The sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is "he," which is a third-person singular pronoun. Therefore, we need a verb that agrees with the subject in number and tense. The present tense form of "dare" that agrees with the third-person singular subject "he" is "dares." Option A, "dare," is incorrect because it is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the subject in number and tense. Option C, "dared," is incorrect because it is in the past tense, and the sentence is in the present tense. Option D, "will dare," is incorrect because it implies a future action, and the sentence is in the present tense.
