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

Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s).Ibro shows enough liberality with his meagre income
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "liberality" is "generosity". In this sentence, "liberality" refers to Ibro's tendency to be generous or giving, despite having a meager income. Therefore, the word "generosity" is the most suitable option, as it also conveys the idea of being generous or giving. "Frugality" means the opposite of liberality; it is the tendency to be thrifty or economical. "Prodigality" refers to excessive spending or wastefulness, which is not the case here. And "insensitivity" is unrelated to the sentence's meaning and does not fit the context. By using the word "generosity" instead of "liberality", the sentence would read: "Ibro shows enough generosity with his meager income."
