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.
He runs....
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "rather too fast." "Rather" is an adverb used to indicate degree or extent, and "too" is also an adverb used to indicate excess or more than is desirable. In this context, the sentence is asking how fast he runs, and "rather too fast" suggests that he is running fast to an extent that is excessive or more than is desirable. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence. "Rather much fast" is not grammatically correct and "quite rather fast" is redundant because "quite" and "rather" both indicate degree or extent. "Too rather fast" is also not grammatically correct and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
