Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 1992 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

In question below fill the gap with the appropriate option:

Having worked all night, the security man _____ a sense of accomplishment

Answer Details
The correct word to fill in the blank is "felt". The sentence is in the past tense ("having worked all night"), so the appropriate verb tense to use is the past tense. The sentence describes a completed action in the past, so "felt" is the correct option. Therefore, the sentence reads: "Having worked all night, the security man felt a sense of accomplishment", which means that the security man experienced a feeling of satisfaction or achievement after working all night. Option (A) "had felt" would be appropriate if there were another past event in the sentence to which the security man's sense of accomplishment was being compared to, but that is not the case in the given sentence. Option (C) "is feeling" and option (D) "has felt" are in the present tense and present perfect tense, respectively, which are not suitable for the given sentence in the past tense.
