Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2019 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.

His jail terms are to run concurrently.

Answer Details
The word that is nearest in meaning to "concurrently" is "simultaneously." In the context of the sentence, "concurrently" means that the jail terms will be served at the same time. This is similar in meaning to "simultaneously," which means happening at the same time. The other options do not fit the meaning of the sentence. "Consistently" means constantly or regularly, "alternately" means switching back and forth between two things, and "consecutively" means one after another, which is the opposite of what is meant in the sentence.
