     (a) Identify specimens H, J and K.                                                                   [ 3 marks ]

    (b) List four items that could be used in addition to specimens H, J and K to construct fishing gear.   [ 4 marks ]

    (c) Name four fishing gear that have specimens H, J and K as components. [ 4 marks ]

    (d) Name four fishing gear that do not have specimens H, J and K as components.             [ 4 marks ]

Observation

This question was well attempted by the candidates. Though, most of the candidates could not identify specimen H(Netting material) correctly, they were able to identify specimens J(Rope) and K(Twine) as required in 3(a). Furthermore, in 3(b), majority of the candidates could list the items that could be used in addition to specimens H(Netting material), J(Rope) and K(Twine) to construct fishing gear.

More so, in 3(c), majority of the candidates were able to name fishing gear that have specimens H(Netting material), J(Rope) and K(Twine) as components. They were also able to name fishing gear that do not have specimens H(Netting material), J(Rope) and K(Twine) as components as required in 3(d).

The expected answers include:
