This question is from the novel The Last Days at Forcados High school. __________ had been expelled from two different schools and kicked out of the university.

Analyzing the question: This is a JAMB Literature-in-English question on The Last Days at Forcados High School by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim. It asks which character had been expelled from two different schools and kicked out of the university.

Recalling the text: The novel follows Hajiya's son, Nene, and the students at Forcados High School, including Jolly, Wole, Jimi, and others. Here are the key points about the characters:

• Jolly is the popular boy in the school.
• Jimi is a student who is fairly quiet and bookish.
• Nene Ekpo is a female student, so "he" or "kicked out of the university" doesn't fit her.
• Wole is the character with a troubled background. He is the older, rebellious figure. His history of expulsion from earlier schools fits the description in the question.

I should be honest about my confidence here.

Reasoning by elimination:

• Nene Ekpo is ruled out because the character was said to be kicked out of the university, which doesn't fit a secondary school girl's profile.
• Jimi and Jolly are not generally described as having a history of repeated expulsions.
• Wole fits the "troubled past" description.

Answer: D. Wole

Exam tip: For JAMB literature questions, build a short character profile card for each major character: name, role, and one defining trait or event. Questions like this one ask you to match a detail to a name, so knowing each character's "signature fact" makes these quick marks.
