JAMB - English Language (2023 - No. 88)
The prisoner finally ........ that he drank to ........ on the night he committed the murder
exceeded/extreme
acceded/access
conceded/excess
eluded/escape
Explanation
The correct answer is 'conceded/excess'. The first blank needs a verb that means 'admit something reluctantly', which is 'conceded'. The second blank needs a noun that means 'an amount of something that is more than necessary', which is 'excess'. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.
