Observation

In 3a, candidates were to explain why /i/ and /ɔ/ are considered as vowel sounds and in 3b, they were to explain the differences between /i/ and /ɔ/ in terms of how they are articulated.

The expected answers were:

(a)- Mmọ mbiba edi fawed koro ke ini enamde mmọ, mme ndido utịñ ikọ ke esịt inua owo ibiọñọke ofum ndiwọrọ owo ke inua.

(b)Ke ini edamde /i/, iso edeme eyedọk ekpere ndituk enyọñ inua edi ñkpọk inua owo ikabakede idi ekara-ekara edi, ke ini enamde /ɔ/, edeme imenekede ikpọñ itie esie, edi, ñkpọk inua owo akabade etie ekara-ekara

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
