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

Question 1 Report

Choose the option that best fills the gap.

The officer was compelled to _____ the suspect’s car.

Answer Details
The correct option to fill in the blank is "seize." To "seize" means to take possession of something by force or authority. In the given sentence, the officer was compelled or forced to take possession of the suspect's car. Therefore, the appropriate word to use is "seize." Option B, "cease," means to stop or come to an end. This does not fit the context of the sentence, as it is not referring to the officer stopping the suspect's car, but rather taking possession of it. Options C and D, "sieze" and "sease," are misspellings of "seize." The correct spelling of the word is "seize."
