Did You Notice Anything in the 2014 WAEC English Language Objective Questions?
I observed that some of the questions are almost the same as many from different years. So, if you practice with the past WAEC English Language questions on this website, your success in the examination is guaranteed.
Be on the lookout for trick questions such as the one below.
The sole occupant of the car was injured in the …….. accident.
(a) fatal (b) ghastly (c) incredible (d) trivial
The correct answer is (b) ghastly.
Some candidates may choose option (a), fatal, as the correct answer. They would be wrong because fatal is only used when a death occurs in an accident.
And how do we know that someone did not die in the accident? We know nobody died because the sentence says, the “sole” occupant, which means that there was no one else in the car.
Questions are Often Repeated
Every year, questions are drawn from the same areas, and some are shuffled and lifted from the previous years. Therefore, continuous practice with past questions is necessary for you to get an excellent grade.
Here are the usual areas from which questions are taken.
Antonyms (opposite in meaning)
Example
Parents should persuade children to do chores, not .............. them.
A. implore
B. coerce
C. enjoin

Feed on your dictionary so you can know the words and their meaning. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen both questions below in a previous WAEC English Language Objective examination!

A. secret

C. unimportant
D. doubtful
Example 2:
Bola vehemently denied stealing the money.

This next question is a staple, they must ask it in one variation or the other!
