Sample UNILORIN Post-UTME 2019 questions

1. Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence: Neither the principal nor the teachers ___ willing to postpone the examination.
  1. was
  2. were
  3. is
  4. has been

Answer: B. were

With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the nearer plural subject teachers, so were is correct.

  1. Thorough
  2. Careless
  3. Impatient
  4. Uncertain

Meticulous means showing great care and attention to detail, which is closest to thorough.

3. Choose the word opposite in meaning to 'scarce'.
  1. Rare
  2. Plentiful
  3. Limited
  4. Insufficient

Answer: B. Plentiful

Scarce means not available in sufficient quantity, while plentiful means abundant.

4. Choose the correct expression: If Musa ___ earlier, he would have caught the first bus.
  1. left
  2. had left
  3. has left
  4. would leave

Answer: B. had left

A past unreal condition takes the past perfect in the if-clause: had left.

5. Select the correctly punctuated sentence.
  1. The lecturer said, “The test begins at nine.”
  2. The lecturer said “The test begins at nine”.
  3. The lecturer said, “The test begins at nine”.
  4. The lecturer said “The test begins at nine.”

Answer: A. The lecturer said, “The test begins at nine.”

The introductory clause is followed by a comma, and the full stop belongs inside the closing quotation mark in this style.
