Question 10
Ga katti tuli-tuli, Sai yawo a burtali,
Babu gaira babu dalili, baa kali da tattali,

A daina yawon iska, Gun kwadayi da raraka,
A je a dauko gafaka, Don girma da daukaka,
A yanzu sai da gaskiya.

Observation
The stanzas above were taken from the book Wakokin Mu’azu Hadeja (Written poetry) and the candidates were expected to identify the song where the stanzas were extracted, the theme of the song and meanings of the underlined words.
Thus:

(b) Jigon waƙar shi ne gargaɗi.
(c) burtali - hanya
raraka - roƙo ta hanyar dibara
gafaka - jaka/littafi
Candidates performed poorly on this question.
