This question is from the novel 'The Last Days at Forcados High school'. Who were the two people Seyi lawal and Jimi met coming out of the principal office?

Analyze the question: This is a literature-in-English recall question. It asks which two characters Seyi Lawal and Jimi met as they were leaving the principal's office in The Last Days at Forcados High School.

Concept: Questions on JAMB set texts test whether you know the characters and key events of the plot. Here you need to recall who visited the principal's office in this scene.

Working through the options:

• B. Mr and Mrs Solade: There is no strong link between these two and this scene.
• C. Caro and Nene Ekpo: These are fellow students or acquaintances, not people you would expect to meet leaving the principal's office.
• D. Teacher Okoro and Mama Silifat: A teacher and a market woman are not a natural pairing for this scene.
• A. Efua and her Mother: This fits the situation. A student and her parent coming out of the principal's office suggests a meeting about admission, discipline or a school matter.

It is worth checking against your copy of the text.

Answer: A. Efua and her Mother

Tip: For set-text questions, make a one-line note on each character and the scene they appear in. Questions like "who met whom, and where" are common, so scene-by-scene notes help more than a general summary.
