What is full meaning of EMEC

Analyze the question: This is a general-knowledge question that appears in JAMB English. It asks for the full meaning of the acronym EMEC.

Explain the concept: EMEC is the Examination Malpractice and Ethics Committee. It is a committee set up to deal with cheating, impersonation, leakage and other forms of misconduct in examinations, and to promote honesty and good conduct among candidates and officials. You can break the acronym down letter by letter:

• E = Examination
• M = Malpractice
• E = and Ethics
• C = Committee

Step-by-step solution:

1. The first word must be "Examination", the noun, not "Examining". This rules out B. The committee deals with examinations as a subject area, so it is not a body that is "examining".
2. The last letter C stands for a body that makes decisions and enforces rules. A committee fits this. A "Convention" is a large gathering, not a working body, so C is out.
3. The middle words "Malpractice and Ethics" describe the committee's focus on misconduct. Option D says "Management", which does not match the committee's purpose of tackling malpractice, so D is out.
4. Only A fits: Examination Malpractice and Ethics Committee.

Answer: A. Examination Malpractice and Ethics Committee

I should be honest that this is a recall question rather than one you can work out by pure reasoning.

Exam tip: For acronym questions, match each letter to the options and watch for small word changes like "Examining" vs "Examination" or "Committee" vs "Convention". Those small changes are what the examiners use to create wrong options.
