Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 2015 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

Shakespearian _____ are generally the victims of circumstance.
Answer Details
The best word to fill the gap is "heroes." Explanation: The sentence is referring to the characters in Shakespeare's plays who are generally portrayed as being victims of circumstance. The correct spelling for the plural of "hero" is "heroes." Option "heros" is a misspelling of the word, as it should have an "e" after the "r" to form the plural. Option "heroses" adds an extra "e" after the "s," which is not correct. Option "hero" is the singular form of the word and does not match the context of the sentence, which is referring to multiple characters. Therefore, the correct option is "heroes."
