Observation

A good number of candidates attempted this question.  However, many of them failed to do a detailed comparison of both parties. A mere description of each party was done instead.

Candidates were expected to discuss the following points:

• Mama and Beneatha as mother and daughter.
• Mama as matriarch of the house; Beneatha still in college.
• Mama’s loving nature though firm; Beneatha youthful and fun-loving.
• Mama being representative of the older generation, Beneatha the younger generation.
• Mama tolerant and accommodating; Beneatha inconsiderate and intolerant.

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
