This question is from the novel The Last Days at Forcados High school. What prefect was Jimi?

Analyzing the question: This is a literature-in-English question on the JAMB-recommended novel The Last Days at Forcados High School by Tunde Kelani/Abubakar Adam Ibrahim. Wait, correcting myself: the novel is by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, and it follows the final days of a set of students at Forcados High School. The question asks which prefect position Jimi held.

Recalling the text: In the novel, Jimi is a key character among the senior students. My recollection is that Jimi is the health prefect. He is portrayed as a responsible, somewhat reserved senior student, and the health prefect role fits his character. I can't recall the exact passage word for word, so I'm relying on my memory of the characters' roles here. Other characters hold different positions in the story (for example, the head boy role belongs to another character).

Checking the options:

• A. Food prefect: not Jimi's role as I recall it.
• B. Assembly prefect: not Jimi's role as I recall it.
• C. Health prefect: matches my recollection of Jimi.
• D. The head boy: this is a different character.

Answer: C. Health prefect

Exam tip: For novel-based questions, make a quick character table while studying: name, role, and one key trait or event. Prefect positions, family ties, and the main conflict of each character are frequently tested in JAMB literature questions. Keep reviewing it, and you'll get these marks easily.
