Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 1989 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap(s):

My younger brother is going to the stream with _____ boys

Answer Details
The sentence is asking for the number and description of the boys who are going to the stream with the speaker's younger brother. The most appropriate option to fill the blank is "two other little boys." This option conveys that the speaker's younger brother is going to the stream with two boys who are also little. The word "other" implies that the speaker's younger brother is included in the group of boys going to the stream, so "other two little" and "two little other" do not make sense. "Little" is used to describe the boys' age or size, and it makes sense to put it before the word "boys" to clarify what is being described.
