Jimoh has cupboard love for Sidikatu
A. love that never falls B. genuine love C. love for what he wants from her D. love that can fail in time of trouble E. No love at all
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is actually C. love for what he wants from her.
Here's why:
- Cupboard love refers to affection that is motivated by a desire for something that the person can get from the other, rather than genuine or selfless love.
In the context of the question:
- A. love that never falls is not opposite in meaning to cupboard love. - B. genuine love actually contrasts with cupboard love, but since cupboard love is not genuine, it’s not the direct opposite. - C. love for what he wants from her aligns with the concept of cupboard love, where the affection is based on what one can gain from the other. - D. love that can fail in time of trouble describes a form of love that may falter but isn't necessarily the direct opposite. - E. No love at all is not necessarily the opposite but rather a different state of affection.
Thus, C most accurately represents the concept opposite to cupboard love.
