Aliya doesn't do well in her chemistry exams because

Analyze the question

The question asks why Aliya doesn't do well in her chemistry exams. Normally, this type of JAMB English question is based on a passage or a dialogue (a comprehension or oral/lexis-style item). The question you have pasted does not include that passage or any context about Aliya.

Explain the concept

In comprehension questions, the answer must come from the text, not from guessing. Each option is a plausible reason, so only the passage can tell us which one the writer states or implies. Look for clue words such as "because," "since," "due to," or "as a result."

Working through the problem

Without the passage, I cannot confirm from the text which reason is given. Checking the options on their own:

• A. "She doesn't read enough": a common reason, but it needs textual support.
• B. "She usually has exam fever": this means she gets very anxious or panics during exams, so she underperforms even if she knows the material.
• C. "Time is never enough": this needs a statement about time pressure.
• D. "Her teacher deliberately fails her": this is an extreme claim, and such options are usually distractors.

I can't independently verify it from the passage because the passage is missing, but B is consistent with the way the question is worded. "Doesn't do well in her exams" points to a recurring problem tied to the exam situation itself, and "usually" and "exam fever" fit that pattern. Options A and C would require specific statements in the text, and D is too extreme to be likely.

Answer

The correct option is **B. If you can send me the passage, I'll check it line by line to confirm.

Exam tip

In comprehension questions, eliminate extreme options (words like "deliberately" or "never") first, then match the remaining options to specific lines in the passage. Always underline the sentence that supports your answer.
