This question is based on Chukwuemeka Ike's The Potter's Wheel. In the novel, Nwomiko was famous for her

Analyze the question: This is a literature recall question on The Potter's Wheel by Chukwuemeka Ike. It asks what the character Nwomiko was known for.

Concept: The Potter's Wheel is set in rural Igbo society, in Obuechina's (Obu's) village of Ogbu. The story deals with traditional beliefs, education, and discipline. Several characters in the village represent the traditional order, including elders and people who work with spiritual and herbal knowledge.

Solution:

• B (political struggles): The novel focuses on village life, school and discipline, not political struggle, so this doesn't fit.
• C (lack of spiritual powers) and D (lack of fighting spirit): Neither is something a character would be "famous for". Fame comes from having a quality, not lacking it.
• A (spiritual powers): Nwomiko is portrayed as a woman with spiritual powers, which fits the traditional village setting.

I'm working from memory of the novel here, so I can't give you the exact passage.

Answer: A. spiritual powers

Tip: In literature questions, eliminate options that describe a lack of something when the question says "famous for". Fame comes from a positive trait. For JAMB set texts, also keep a short list of each major character and the one thing they are known for.
