Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
The professors said that Ade was...............

Answer Details
The correct option is "a student of great potential." This option uses correct English word order to express the intended meaning. Option A, "a great student of potential," suggests that Ade is already a great student but has the potential to improve. This contradicts the sentence's context, which is that Ade has not yet fully realized their potential. Option C, "a great potential student," is also grammatically incorrect. It implies that Ade has the potential to become a great student, rather than being a great student with potential. Option D, "of potential a great student," uses an awkward sentence structure that makes it difficult to understand the intended meaning. It also goes against the conventional English word order, which places adjectives before nouns. Therefore, option B, "a student of great potential," is the correct choice as it expresses that Ade has a lot of potential to become a great student.
