Question 4
With  the aid of suitable diagram, describe the following parts of a lady’s bag:
      (i)        flap;
      (ii)       gusset;
      (iii)       front;
      (iv)       strap.
Observation
This question was very popular among candidates, most of whom scored average marks. Most candidates drew good diagrams but were unable to label the part appropriately and a good percentage of them failed to describe the parts of the bag as required in the question. Candidates were expected to answer thus to score higher marks:

(i)         Flap        -        This  is an outstretched piece of leather, extending from the back 
      to the front of a bag, covering the opening  of the bag.
(ii)        Gusset     -        This is a narrow strip of  leather on the sides of a bag joining the 
      front to the  back.
      -        it determines the volume/size of the  bag; it may have folds.
(iii)       Front      -        This is the frontal part of a bag; it  accommodates the flap which 
      usually   holds the fasteners; decorations are  usually on the front.
(iv) Strap - a long strip of leather attached to the gussets; it serves as a handle.
