Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: This is a literature recall question. It asks what Papa Solade did once he learned that Wole and Jimi were still meeting in secret, so the answer depends on knowing the plot rather than on calculation.
Concept: In the story, the relationship between Wole and Jimi is forbidden. When it continues in secret, the adult in authority responds with punishment. Papa Solade is the disciplinarian in the matter, so the likely response is physical correction rather than relocating anyone.
Working through the options:
- A. He flogged Jimi: This fits the pattern of discipline for disobeying a warning.
- **B.
- C. Sent Jimi away to Ibadan: This would be a dramatic plot event, and I can't confirm it from the text.
- D. Sent Jimi's mother away: This makes little sense, since the mother isn't the one defying the warning.
If your copy of the text shows something different, trust the book and check with your teacher.
Answer: A. He flogged Jimi
Tip: For JAMB literature questions, keep a short list of who punishes whom and why. Recall questions often test cause and effect, such as a character disobeying and then facing a specific consequence. Re-read the key chapters of your set text, especially the turning points.
