1. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow (20mks)
WORRY has completely defeated me. My mind was so confused and troubled that I could see
no joy in living. My nerves were so strained that I could neither sleep at night nor relax by day.
My three young children were widely separated, living with relatives. My husband was in
another city trying to establish a law practice. I felt all the insecurities and uncertainties of the
post –war readjustment period.
I was threatening my husband’s career, my children natural endowment of a happy, normal
home life, and I was also threatening my own life. My husband could find no housing, and the
only solution was to build. Everything depended on my getting well. The more I realized this and
the harder I would try; the greater would my fear of failure. Then I developed a fear of planning
for any responsibility. I felt that I could no longer trust myself. I felt I was a complete failure.
When all was darkest and there seemed to be no help, my mother did something for me that I
will never forget or ceases being grateful for. She shocked me into fighting back.
She upbraided me for giving in and for losing control of my nerves and my mind, she challenged
me to get up out of bed and fight for all I had. She said I was giving in to the situation ,fearing it
instead of facing it, running from life instead of living it.
So I did start fighting from that day on. That very weekend I told my parents they could go
home, because I was going to take over; and I did what seemed impossible at the time. I was left
Page 129 of 253

alone to care for my two younger children. I slept well. I began to eat better, and my spirits
began to improve.
A week later when they returned to visit me again, they found me singing at my ironing. I had a
sense of well -being because I had begun to fight a battle and I was winning. I shall never forget
this lesson....... if a situation seems insurmountable, face it! Start fighting! Don’t give in.
From that time on I forced myself to work, and lost myself to work. Finally I gathered my
children together and joined my husband in our new home. I resolved that I would became
well enough to give my family a strong, happy mother. I became engrossed with plans for my
children, plans for my husband, and plans for everything except for me. I became too busy to
think of myself. And it was that the real miracle happened.
I grew stronger and stronger and could wake up with the joy of well - being , the joy of planning
for a new day ahead, the joy of living. And although day of depression did creep in occasionally
after that, especially when I was tired, I would tell myself not to think or try to reason with
myself on those days and gradually they became fewer and fewer and finally disappeared.
Now, a year later, I have a very happy, successful husband, a beautiful home that I can work in
sixteen hours a day, and three healthy, happy children and for myself , peace of mind.

2. Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow
However, the notion that he was about to hand over his own daughter to a gangster continued to gnaw
at the conscience of Ole Kaelo relentlessly. He felt guilty, especially when he recalled the atrocities that
were known to have been committed by Oloisudori over the years. But another voice told him quietly that
he was being foolish and unreasonable to question his own conscience over the matter of Oloisudori, for
he was just one among many who were enjoying the fruits of their labour. And it was hardly anybody’s
business to know how honest that labour was. After all, the small voice reassured him tauntingly, those
who committed bigger crimes such as Goldenberg and Anglo-leasing, were still enjoying the ‘fruits of their
labour.’ Had they not invested the yields of their ill-gotten money in housing estates, in shares, in import
and exports in tourism, in transport and in other trades, just as Oloisudori had done?
When he went to bed later that evening, he remained awake for many hours pondering over those
disturbing thoughts that went through his mind fleetingly, like water that churned violently in a turbulent
sea. He thought of Oloisudori’s impending visit and his intended marriage to Resian. He knew the success
of failure of the event would determine the fate of his business. Even his continued ownership of that
house where he and his family lived, depended on the outcomes of that event. Should Oloisudori fail to
get Resian and recall the loan he had extended to him to buy that house, he was done. And knowing
Oloisudori, he could very easily draw the rug from beneath his feet, leaving him vulnerable to all kinds of
vagaries. And the thoughts gave him anxious moments.
At dawn when sleep overtook him, Ole Kaelo had a pleasant dream. Resian had consented to Oloisudori’s
proposal. After Oloisudori reported that to him, he was greatly pleased and relieved. His wife was
rapturous. Although they were astonished at the turn of events, they were relieved to know that they would
Page 133 of 253

not have to live with the guilt of having forced their daughter to get married. What a wise child his once
hardheaded daughter had turned to be after all! And how devious! After all those years of sullenness,
awkwardness and tactlessness, she had finally brought relief to their life and ushered in a period of peace
and tranquility. But then, it was just that. A dream!

O elephant possessor of a saving- basket full of money
O elephant, huge as a hill, even in a crouching posture,
O elephant, enfolded by honour:demon, flapping fans of war.
Demon who snaps tree branches into many pieces and moves on the forest farm,
O elephant, whom ignores ‘ I have fled to my father for refuge’.
Let alone ‘to my mother’Mountains Animal, Huge
Best who tears a man like a garment and hangs him up on a tree,
Page 136 of 253

The sight of whom causes people to stampede towards a hill of safety,
My chant is a salute to the elephant ,Ajanaku who walks with a heavy tread,
Demon who swallows palm-fruit bunches, whole, even with the spiky pistil –cells,
O elephant, praise named, Laaye, massive animal blackish –grey in complexion,
O elephant, who single-handed cause a tremor in a dense tropical forest,
O elephant, who stands sturdy and alert, who walks slowly as if reluctantly,
O elephant, whom one sees and points towards with all one’s fingers.
The hunters boast at home is not repeated when he really meets the elephant.
The hunters boast at home is not repeated before the elephant,
Ajanaku looks back with difficulty like a person suffering from a sprained neck.
The elephant has a porter’s – knot without having any load on his head.
The elephant’s head is his burden which he balances,
O elephant, praise named, Laaye, O death, please stop following me.
This part and parcel of the elephant’s appellation.
If you wish to know the elephant, the elephant who is a veritable ferry –man.
Page 137 of 253

The elephant whom honuor matches, the elephant who continually swings his trunk.
His upper fly-switch.,It’s the elephant whose eyes are veritable water –jars,
O elephant, the vagrant par excellence.
Whose molar teeth are as wide as palm- oil pits in Ijesaland,
O elephant, lord of the forest, respectfully called Oriiribobo
O elephant whose teeth are like shafts,One tooth of his a porter’s load,
O elephant fondly called Otiko,Who has a beast- of burden’s proper nock,
O elephant, whom the hunter at other times aces face to face.
O elephant, whom the hunters at other times seas from the rear.
Beast who caries mortars and yet walks with a swaggering gaint.
Primeval leper, animal treading ponderously.
