This was a popular question    with candidates. Part (a) was well answered by  
                        most candidates. However a few of them failed to apply the contrasting  
                        conjunction. The part (b) of the question required the explanation of the  
                        activities of those engaged in commercial occupations but the candidates  
                        defined the activities rather than explaining them. Some of the answers  
                        expected from the candidates were:  
                                       (i) Banking:            Those    working as bankers provide facilities for saving,borrowing, investing and payments for business transactions.  
                                       (ii) Advertising:    Advertising practioners inform potential buyers and sellers about existence, nature, use, price of goods and services through various advertising media.  
                                       (iii) Insurance:    Insurers provide cover for business risks and compensation in case of loss etc.   |
