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

Question 1 Report

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

 

Layi is quite reliable but his sister is_________

Answer Details
The most appropriate word to fill the gap and also be the opposite of "reliable" is "untrustworthy." "Reliable" means dependable, trustworthy, or consistent. Therefore, the opposite of "reliable" is something that is not dependable or trustworthy. "Untrustworthy" fits this definition and is the correct choice. "Unswerving" means not changing or wavering, which is not the opposite of "reliable." "Deceptive" means intending to mislead or trick, which is not appropriate for the sentence. "Pretentious" means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, or culture than is actually possessed, which is also not the opposite of "reliable."
