OBSERVATION

This question was fairly attempted by the candidates.  Most of the candidates were able to identify specimens Q (Scoop net), R (Fishing trap) and S(Drag net) but majority of the candidates could not draw and label specimen R (Fishing trap) as required in 4(a) and (b) respectively.  However, majority of the candidates were able to state the materials used in making specimens Q (Scoop net), R (Fishing trap) and S (Drag net) as required in 4(c)(i).  Finally, most of the candidates were unable to state the disadvantages of using specimens
Q (Scoop net), R (Fishing trap) and S (Drag net) as required in 4(c)(ii).
