Question 6 :identify the figure of speech and synonym of thwe words in the passage
Observation
The passage was quite interesting and discussed a familiar subject matter. Nevertheless, many candidates did not demonstrate an understanding of the passage. They resorted to copying portions of the passage as answers. Majority stumbled upon their correct answers.
It was also quite surprising that most candidates could not identify the figure of speech in Question ( 6f).
Many of them could not identify the grammatical name and function. Some of them wrote “Adverbial clause of manner” instead of “Adverbial clause of condition.”
The vocabulary test, Question 6(h) was poorly attempted by candidates. They failed to give the synonym of the words. Some who could identify it missed the spelling.
