Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2014 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes the sentence.

Many slaves were......... in the 19th century.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "emancipated" (option C). The context of the sentence suggests that it is referring to the history of slavery. The word "emancipated" means to be set free from legal, social, or political restrictions or obligations, which is exactly what happened to many slaves in the 19th century. The other options do not accurately reflect the historical reality of slavery. "Released" and "relieved" do not necessarily imply the end of slavery, while "empowered" does not accurately describe the process of freeing slaves from bondage. Therefore, the correct answer is "emancipated" (option C).
