COMPREHENSION

6. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

   The mansion by the roadside in my village reminds me of a similar sight in the state capital, three decades ago. Standing conspicuously by the highway in the heart of the city, the mansion posed a bold challenge to road users. It belonged to Chief Koko who was regarded as untouchable in his community. Nobody dared step on his toes. Motorists had learnt to steer clear of it. It was generally assumed that moving close to it could cost one one’s life.

    Then came a governor who decided to widen all the major roads in the capital city. He stressed that this would involve the demolition of buildings that fell within twenty meters from the centre of the road. However, although the governor also stressed that compensations would be paid, Chief Koko was not impressed. He made it clear that nothing should tamper with his mansion, warning that whoever defied him risked dire consequences.

  Not long after the governor’s official proclamation, newspaper reporters had a field day speculating on the unprecedented confrontation with Chief. With time, news filtered out that he asserted that whoever dared him would certainly end up where others like them had gone. The message was clear – defiance meant death! So, reporters were pleading for a new route to circumvent the mansion. However, the governor made it clear that there would be no retreat.

   Before long,  work started on the project. One of the first casualties was a post office that was just some meters within the specified distance. It was cut into two. Soon, the frontage of a school nearby also followed. But, it was assumed that things would be different with the mansion whose owner tolerated no effrontery. Day by day, the project moved closer to the mansion, with the heavy machine levelling one structure after another. Then, when it was clear that the mansion was next in line, the driver if the bulldozer requested to go on leave. This got to the governor who ordered the driver to first do his duty. He sent emissaries to the governor to spare his life since his children were still young.

  The following morning, people got a shocker! The governor himself showed up at the site and asked for the key to the bulldozer, ready to assume the role of the driver. The driver, surveying the possible consequence, tearfully climbed up and pleaded that the governor should please care for his children after his demise. The governor announced that if anything was to happen he, not the driver, would be the target.

   So, the driver got to work and the mansion collapsed like a pack of cards. Press photographers went to town with their cameras, hoping to capture Chief Koko in action. But nothing unusual happened, and soon the whole structure became a rubble. 

  The aftermath? Everybody thought either or both men would soon belong to the great beyond. But this much I know: that governor is still around; and so is the driver.

(a) What opinion did people have of Chief Koko?

(b)  Why was it necessary to demolish buildings?

(c) When the driver said that his children were still very young, what did he imply?

(d) … people got a shocker. Why was the governor’s action a shocker?

(e) What did people expect Chief Koko to do after the demolition of his mansion?

(f) Quote a simile used in the sixth paragraph of the passage.

(g) Not long after the governor’s official proclamation…

(i) What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the passage? (ii) What is it’s function

(h)  For each of the following words, find another word or phrase which means the same and which can replace it as it is used in the passage

(i) assumed

(ii) retreat

(iii) specified 

(iv) showed up

(v) collapsed

SECTION C

SUMMARY

7. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

Armed robbery is one of the most condemnable crimes in contemporary society. People have been maimed or killed for their money or belongings in the past, but never has robbery with violence bben experienced on such a large scale as observed recently. Armed robbery is typically motivated by the desire to obtain money and valuables. However, some armed robbers engage in the crime with the intention of boosting their status. Whatever the motivation, the act is inhumane and can result in injury and sometimes the death of the victims.

  It is rather unfortunate that in almost all modern societies there are always groups of unemployed young people. Some are unemployed because they have little or no education and lack skills. What is even worse, these young people are often unprepared for and unwilling to do any manual work to earn an honest living. They tend to blame society for their plight and retaliate by indulging in acts of crime and lawlessness. They grab money and valuable properties of their victims to enable them to survive in a society which seems to ignore them. To reduce the instances of armed robbery, parents should do their best to nurture their children in the right way because charity begins at home. They should instill good values in them and should not hesitate to correct them early in life when they bring home something that does not belong to them.

   The rich, on the other hand, who are mostly the target of armed robbers provide another cause. Some show off their wealth ostentatiously, live flamboyantly, go about in flashy and sophisticated cars, hop from one exotic island to another on holidays, and brag about all their escapades on social media much to the annoyance and envy if the unemployed youth. To bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots, the government should provide the basic necessities for the citizens. Social services should be made available to those without jobs. The provision of such amenities to cater for the entire populace would help to improve the living conditions of the unemployed and.  underemployed. The adequate provision of infrastructure would ensure that every individual has access to the basic comforts of life.

    The breakdown of traditional systems, resulting in the loss of moral and spiritual values, has made wealth the only thing if value in the eyes of the youth. The ostentatious display of ill-gotten wealth is applauded and the society hardly questions it’s source. Many young people therefore engage in all manner of nefarious activities including armed robbery to make money in order to enjoy the delights and comforts of modern life and above all, be celebrated by their society. Law enforcement authorities can further reduce the spare of armed robberies by monitoring places known for high incidence of the crime. Constant and intrusive patrols of crime-prone areas can deter potential offenders. 

(a) In three sentence, one for each, summarize the factors that make some youths go into armed robbery.

(b) In three sentences, one for each, summarize how armed robbery can be reduced
