Answer: C. hugs and kisses
Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: This is a literature-in-context question from the JAMB English novel. It asks what the abbreviation "HAK" stands for in the text.
Explain the concept: Writers often use abbreviations in letters, notes, and text messages, especially at the end, as affectionate sign-offs. Common examples are "XOXO" and "HAK".
Solution:
- Option A, "hands and knees," is a physical posture and is not used as a sign-off.
- Option B, "hold and knock," makes no sense as an expression of affection.
- Option D, "hate and knead," is not a meaningful phrase.
- Option C, "hugs and kisses," is a familiar closing expression of affection, and "HAK" fits it letter for letter (Hugs And Kisses).
I'm working from the standard meaning of the abbreviation and the way it is used in the text, not from a page-by-page recall of the book.
Answer: C. hugs and kisses
Tip: In literature-based questions, look for the option that fits the abbreviation's letters and the context of the scene. Here, the affectionate tone points to "hugs and kisses." It also helps to read the set text closely, since JAMB often tests small details like this.
