Question 1
DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger
Assess King Santigi V as an unwise ruler.
Observation
Candidates who attempted this question gave a mere narration of events in the text.
The required answers should include:
- Santigi totters under the weight of Maligu’s influence.
- He ignores Kindo’s advice and approves the reception of a stranger.
- He does not insist on seeing Maligu’s letter.
- He forges a dangerous relationship with Whitehead.
- He banishes Kindo.
Candidates’ performance was poor.
