SECTION E : COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions on it.

It was a sunny day in the month of May. The sun took its rightful position very early, lending credence
to the general feeling that Andrew's birthday ceremony was going to be greeted with the blessing of a
pleasant climate. The sky looked so bright that Andrew insisted on having an open-air party. The
habitual doubting Thomases had no dissenting opinions to express. Andrew had gone to a great length
to ensure a hitch-free party; a party which would remain the talk of the town. Although it was not
intended to be free for all, a lot had been done to stamp the occasion on the memories of many people
long afterwards.

The bright sun continued to smile. Andrew's face beamed with pleasure with every passing moment.
Very few of his contemporaries have so succeeded in reaching the top of the ladder. Andrew in
particular had been an orphan of storm. His father's, death during his third year in the secondary
school and that of his mother two years later were only two of this orphan's 'storms'. He suffered a
physical misfortune when a stockfish machine severed his left middle finger. But Andrew did not
despair.
The courage to fail is very cheap. Every fool can afford to fail. But it raises one above the herd of
cowards and never-do-wells to be up and struggling. The reward of forbearance in the end is
resounding success. And so it was for Andrew. Ever since he finished his university education, it had
been success galore. He had got a good job in one of the country's insurance companies. His pay was
good, his promotion had been steady and his prospects seemed bright. At forty, he had a good car and
had already bought a house of his own. The world was at his feet!

(a) Give, in word or phrase, the meaning of each of the following words, as used in the passage: (i)
dissenting; (ii) stamp (iii) contemporaries.
(b) What figure of speech is "the bright sun continued to smile?"
(c) (i) What kind of grammatical structure is "the courage to fail?" (ii) What is its function in the
sentence?
(d) What two hardships had Andrew gone through in life?
(e) What is implied by the expression “The world was at his feet”?

SECTION F: SUMMARY WRITING

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

Every normal human being would want to put his or her feet up once in a while and relax, but,
obviously. one cannot relax all the time. A little work does not kill. Rather. it keeps one active and
mentally alert. Some people think that the invention of robots is the best thing that ever happened to
man. They are convinced that the invention has saved the day because robots are ideal workers who
work without complaining or getting tired. Robots never reveal company secrets for any reason -
corruption. fame or blackmail. The admirers of robots think that once a robot is programmed, it can
do any piece of work with precision over a long period without slowing down, getting bored or even
going on break or vacation. Robots can be made to perform any task. They do not grumble, protest or
ask for 'inducement allowance', overtime, bonus or any of the motivations that human beings usually
demand. They also work under conditions which human beings would not accept due to either
incapability or attitude.

One good thing about the robot is that any of its damaged parts can be replaced for work to go on
effectively. On the other hand, if a human being loses a vital part of the body, that part may not be
replaced for work to go on as effectively as before. There is no doubt at all that the robot is useful but I
strongly believe that the human being is more efficient than the robot in many ways. Human beings
are sensitive, thinking beings who are flexible and can therefore control their actions. Thus, they can
perform more functions than robots. Since human beings can think, discriminate and make value
judgments, they can solve problems on the spur of the moment. The robot, on the other hand, cannot
do this because what it has been programmed for is all that it is capable of doing. If a robot is wrongly
programmed, it will continue to produce the wrong result until its programme is corrected.
The human being can take the initiative in many things. He can communicate or even call for
assistance when need be, which the robot cannot do. The human being can be appealed to, to make
some crucial changes; he can also learn from observing what goes on and modify what he is doing.
It is clear that even though robots are useful, they are deficient in many ways, and therefore cannot
have an advantage over human beings. In crisis, the robot cannot face the challenge. It neither reacts
nor reflects.
The robot is designed and programmed by human beings. How then can the created be superior to the
creator? Robots are created to assist human beings and relieve them of some of their burdens, not to
take over completely from them.(2015 WAEC)

(a) In three sentences, one for each, state why the admirers of robotics think that robots are more
efficient than human beings.

(b) In three sentences, one for each, state three advantages which the human being has over the robot.

 UNSEEN PROSE
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follows.

The night before I was to become a pupil at secondary school I cried because I was frightened
and friendless. I was on the verge of entering a big, new strange world, which I knew nothing
about. What made things worse, though, was the fact that I had no one to talk to about the
problem that was facing me.
My parents would just have said, ‘There, there, you have nothing to worry about’. I had no
friends to talk to because I had left them all behind me in the cosy world of primary school, or
they had gone their separate ways.
I wondered if they had the same fears as I had. I doubted it though because I was always the shy,
awkward fatty that was always left out of things because I was fat. Nobody wanted to know me
just because I looked different. And that’s just what it was like for the whole of my first year and
most of the second year.

People picked on me, and called me ‘Fatso’. In sports, I was always the last to be chosen when
teams were picked. I made no friends.
I was confused with so much homework, the vast modern building, the students, and the
teachers. I cried every night when I was in the safety of my bed. It was just like being a newborn
baby, coming into the big, wide world.

''Why are you doing this?'' he asked, his voice not giving any hint of the boiling cauldron of

The bed clear of you would seem;
For not one you is in my sight
As if your presence was in a dream.
