PART B – READING [20marks]


4. Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions which follow.

Ghana has become the toast of the world in recent times because of her conscious effort to promote peace and
stability in development. The country has been referred to as an oasis of peace in a sub region where most countries
are struggling to reconstruct their economies out of the ashes of war.
However, all is not well, in spite of the global recognition of Ghana as a country which values civil
liberties and the rule of law. There are still pockets of conflict deep-rooted in political differences and chieftaincy
disputes. These conflicts have retarded development in the country.
Unfortunately, some of our communities are notorious for recurring conflicts while our security agencies look on
helplessly. Very often, our leaders bemoan the tragedy brought about by these conflicts, some of which are caused
by powerful persons in society. Recently, we were alarmed at the frequent resort to mob justice by people who
lacked confidence in the criminal justice system. They felt the security forces were incapable of dealing with crime.
Those who take this path only create a lawless state and help put the powerful and well-connected above the law. As
a result, the impression is created that it does not pay to be law-abiding. The outcome of this unfortunate situation is
the breakdown of law and order.
Though anarchy has not yet set in, the common spectacle of md1sc1phne at workplaces, on the streets and
in the homes is worrying. This frequent breakdown of law and order in various communities can be checked if the
perpetrators of crime are brought to book. The good news is that the government has promised to deal drastically
with anybody who breaks the law. It is our hope that this pledge will be translated into action as quickly as possible.

a) What is the source of the relative peace in Ghana?


b) What are the causes of the slow pace of development in Ghana?
c) How do people react to their loss of trust in the criminal justice system?
d) What is the writer's attitude to those who flout the law?
e) How can the citizen’s confidence in the criminal justice system be restored?
f) Explain in your own words, the following expressions in the passage:
i. the toast of the world
ii. an oasis of peace
g) For each of the following words underlined in the passage, give another word or phrase which means the
same and can replace it in the passage:
i) global.
ii) recurring.
iii) drastically
iv) pledge.
