This question is from the novel The Last Days at Forcados High school. What was the name of Jimi’s elder brother who stays abroad?

Analysis: This is a literature-in-English recall question. It asks for a character's name from The Last Days at Forcados High School by Abubakar Gimba, so there is no calculation, only knowing the characters.

Concept: The novel follows Jimi Bandele and the people around him in his school life and at home. JAMB often asks about the relationships between characters, such as who is a friend, a sibling or a teacher.

Working through the options:

• A. Wole: not a character linked to Jimi as a brother.
• B. Femi: Jimi's elder brother, who is living abroad.
• C. Ansa: a different character in the story, not his brother.
• D. Jolly: a nickname-type name that fits a schoolmate or friend, not a sibling.

I am working from my recall of the text here and cannot fully cross-check every detail.

Answer: B. Femi

Tip: When studying a JAMB set text, make a quick "character map". Write each name with one label, such as brother, friend, teacher or villain. Questions like this are then easy marks. Keep it up, you're doing well!
