The prophet said Obaseki would ____________ the election.
Explanation
The correct answer is B. Lose.
1. Loss: This is a noun referring to the state of losing something. It cannot be used as a verb in this context.
2. Lose: This is the correct verb form meaning to fail to win or be defeated in an election. It fits the sentence because it describes what the prophet said would happen regarding the election.
3. Loose: This is an adjective meaning not tight or free, and it does not fit the context of an election outcome.
4. Lost: This is the past tense of the verb "lose." The sentence requires the base form of the verb "lose" to match the future tense implied by the prophet's statement.
Summary:
- B. Lose is the correct choice because it is the appropriate verb form to describe the expected outcome of the election in the context provided.
