JAMB - English Language (1982 - No. 7)

Fill the blank spaces with the most appropriate of options A-E:
You can never get …. With stealing the presidential jet. You will be caught.
By
Away
Bye
Free
Scot free

Explanation

The correct completion of the sentence is:

You can never get away with stealing the presidential jet. You will be caught.

Explanation:
- "Get away with" is a common expression meaning to successfully avoid punishment or negative consequences for something, often something illegal or wrong.
- "Scot-free" is another term that means without suffering any punishment or harm, but the more common and suitable phrase in this context is "get away with" and not "get scot-free"
 
Therefore, the correct option is B. Away.
