Observation

This question was answered by very few candidates. They rather beat about the bush. They wasted valuable points by not linking faith and works together. The question was not properly handled. Vital points missed out
were:
(i) James assented that faith by itself, if it has no works is dead.
(ii) He challenged those who claim to have faith to show their faith without works.
(iii)       He also maintained that Abraham's faith was effective along with his works.

The (b) part of the question did not help matter, as they could not mention the following points:

(i) The best way to express faith and belief in God is to do what He says.
(ii) Faith without effective action results in failure.
(iii) God blesses people's works of faith and not faith alone.
