Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2016 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the word lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.

The police man tried to.....money from the motorist.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "extort". This is because the sentence implies that the police officer used his position of power to try and get money from the motorist through coercion or threats. "Extort" means to obtain something, especially money, by force or threats, which fits the context of the sentence. The other options do not accurately convey the meaning intended by the sentence. "Exert" means to apply or bring to bear, "exact" means to demand and obtain something from someone, often by force, and "extract" means to remove or take out something from a larger whole.
