This was a compulsory question .About three lines were quoted from a book titled Rihlatul Bahth Anili-Insāni (The search for a human being). The book was written by Prof Kamaldeen Balogun. The candidates were asked to explain the given excerpt. The quotation was about a suspect that was charged to court for stealing. He tried to defend himself that he never stole when he was young but rather fended for his family. However, now that he had become weak and old, he could not do such. The performance of the candidates was generally fair in this question
