Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 1989 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes the sentence.
Musa was disappointed and decided to take it ... Maryam
Answer Details
The best option that completes the sentence is "out on." The sentence suggests that Musa was disappointed and decided to take some form of action against Maryam. The phrase "take it out on" means to treat someone badly or unfairly because you are upset, angry or disappointed about something else. Therefore, the phrase "take it out on" fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "With" suggests that Musa is angry or disappointed with Maryam, but it does not suggest any action that he will take. "At" and "in" do not convey the sense of action that Musa intends to take.
