Observation

This was a popular question. However, many candidates delved mainly and extensively on the harsh treatments meted out on the widows at the death of their husband. Only a few of them recognised that the Kufi people recognised and categorized death with good or bad.

The required answers should include:

• The people’s attitude to death based on their cultural beliefs.
• Categories of death in Kufi: good and bad.
• Suspicion surrounding death.
• Death as a transition from the physical to the spiritual.
• The dead offer a helping hand.

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
