Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 2004 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s).Obi's dog is old but still lively?
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "lively" is "frisky". In this sentence, "lively" describes Obi's dog as energetic, active, and in good spirits, despite being old. "Frisky" also means energetic, active, and playful, making it the most suitable option to fill the blank. The other options do not accurately capture the meaning of "lively". "Attractive" means pleasing or appealing to the eye and has nothing to do with the dog's energy level. "Howling" and "barking" are specific sounds that dogs make and do not relate to the dog's overall demeanor. By using the word "frisky" instead of "lively", the sentence would read: "Obi's dog is old but still frisky."
