What objectives set d means

This practice set helps you answer WASSCE-style English questions on meaning, grammar and sentence structure. It matters because you need quick, accurate choices in the objective paper.

What you will practise

  • Choose words with the nearest meaning in context
  • Identify correct question tags in spoken and written sentences
  • Spot passive voice sentences from active ones
  • Use grammar clues to eliminate wrong options
  • Read short items carefully before selecting an answer

Before you start

You should already know basic word meanings, sentence parts and simple grammar terms. It also helps if you can tell a statement from a question and active voice from passive voice.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Choose the option nearest in meaning to "reluctant".

  • Eager
  • Unwilling
  • Happy
  • Ready
Answer: Unwilling

Working: "Reluctant" means unwilling or hesitant.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Choosing a word that looks close in spelling instead of the nearest meaning.
  • Forgetting that a positive statement usually takes a negative question tag.
  • Missing the passive voice because the subject receives the action, not gives it.
  • Rushing the item and ignoring small grammar words such as auxiliaries and pronouns.
