Observation

The passage was interesting and offered a subject matter that was within the experience and grasp of the candidates. The information required for answering content questions correctly was very clear in the passage. However, many of the candidates did not demonstrate an understanding of the passage, so they resorted to copying from the passage. Many of them could not correctly identify the figure of speech in Question 6(h). Also, the questions on grammatical name and function were poorly attempted. Many could not identify the grammatical name nor state the grammatical function. Some wrote two words instead of one in the lexical items section.
