Question

Difficulty: HardOccupational and Specialized Registers

Match each specialized occupational term on the left with its corresponding technical definition on the right. Which sequence of pairs correctly connects each register term with its precise domain-specific meaning?

  • SubrogationThe legal assumption by an insurer of the rights of an insured party to pursue a liable third party after settling a claim.
  • TelemetryThe automated sensing, recording, and wireless transmission of real-time operational data from remote systems to a central receiver.
  • EpidemiologyThe branch of medicine dealing with the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in specified populations.
  • DerivativesFinancial securities whose value is derived from the performance of underlying assets, benchmarks, or interest rates.

Answer

Subrogation matches the legal/insurance definition regarding insurer rights after settling claims; Telemetry matches the ICT/aerospace definition regarding automated remote data transmission; Epidemiology matches the medical definition concerning disease distribution in populations; and Derivatives matches the financial definition concerning securities derived from underlying assets.
Each specialized term accurately corresponds to its domain context: Subrogation represents legal substitution in insurance law, Telemetry signifies remote electronic data transmission in ICT and engineering, Epidemiology describes the medical study of population health trends, and Derivatives indicates specialized financial contracts contingent on underlying asset values.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary domain and technical register of each term on the left.
Subrogation is Legal/Insurance; Telemetry is ICT/Aerospace; Epidemiology is Medicine/Public Health; Derivatives is Banking/Finance.
Categorizing specialized terms by their professional field simplifies matching them to their exact definitions.
2
Analyze each definition on the right to pinpoint key domain markers.
Def 1 relates to population health/medicine; Def 2 relates to financial securities; Def 3 relates to legal rights/insurer claims; Def 4 relates to automated data transmission.
Domain markers distinguish technical terminology from general dictionary definitions.
3
Form the exact pairs based on precise technical alignment.
Subrogation → Legal insurer substitution (Right 3); Telemetry → Remote data transmission (Right 4); Epidemiology → Population disease study (Right 1); Derivatives → Underlying asset securities (Right 2).
Aligning specialized vocabulary demonstrates mastery of occupational registers tested in the JAMB UTME Use of English examination.
