Notes On The WAEC English Language Comprehension And Summary Section
Please pay attention to the context in which words are used in the WAEC English language comprehension examination questions.
In the comprehension passage below, for instance, you are asked to replace the capitalized word in this sentence with another word that means the same thing.
“Simply put, he was mentally DERANGED.”
A candidate may choose to replace the capitalized word with “insane” or “mad.” Although the two words mean the same as the specified word, it would be incorrect to use them in this instance, as it would make the sentence sound odd. Better words to use—and which have the same meaning—are “unstable” and “unhinged.”.
Notes On Answering Questions From The Summary Passage
Please remember that to summarize means to make shorter. Therefore, you do not have to use extensive or long sentences to answer the questions.
You can usually see where the answer to a question starts from in the passage because the question often has one word that is also in the passage.
