Observation

This was a popular question. Many candidates were able to make references to the text on Yaremi’s strength and character in a chauvinistic society.

The required answers should include:

• Ajumobi, Yaremi’s husband dies and leaves her to bear the challenges of life alone.
• Yaremi gets herself engaged in five different works to occupy herself and fill this vacuum.
• She scornfully dismisses overtures from contending suitors at the cap-picking ceremony.
• When banished for walking out during the cap-picking ceremony, Yaremi refuses to be moved out of the community.

Candidates’ performance in this question was good.
