This question is from the novel The Last Days at Forcados High school. ‘Sorry does anyone know you’re here? does daddy know?… who said this and to who?

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks who spoke the line and who was being spoken to. The line is: "Sorry, does anyone know you're here? Does daddy know?"

Step 2: Look at the clues in the line

• The speaker says "daddy", not "your father" or "my husband". This is how a young person talks about a parent, so the speaker is probably a child or young person.
• The speaker is surprised that the listener is there and asks whether anyone, especially the father, knows about it. This suggests the listener has come secretly or unexpectedly, and the speaker is concerned about it.

Step 3: Eliminate options

• A and B (Mr. and Mrs. Solade): Spouses would say "my husband" or "the children's father" rather than "daddy". Husband and wife would not normally speak this way to each other.
• D (Wole to Jimi): This would reverse the roles.
• C (Jimi to Wole): The informal word "daddy" and the concern about someone turning up unannounced fit two young people talking to each other.

Step 4: Answer I can't fully reconstruct this scene from memory, so my working here rests on the clues in the wording. Jimi to Wole**.

Exam tip: In "who said this to whom" questions, look at the vocabulary and tone. Words like "daddy" point to a young speaker, while formal address points to adults or authority figures. Also make sure you know the main characters and how they are related to each other.
