Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2020 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

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

 

The weather is too hot; I need some water to________ my thirst.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "quench". When we are thirsty, we feel a strong desire to drink water to satisfy our thirst. The word "quench" means to satisfy one's thirst, and it's commonly used when referring to drinking water. Therefore, in this context, the speaker needs water to quench their thirst, that is, to satisfy it. The other options may not convey the same meaning or may not fit the sentence as well. For instance, "wet" and "soak" suggest getting something wet with water, while "cool" refers to lowering temperature, which may not necessarily relieve thirst.
