Questions below are based on Bolaji Abdullahi's "Sweet Sixteen" ... is quick to anger and doesn't hide it when she is

Step 1: Analyze the question

The question asks which character in Bolaji Abdullahi's Sweet Sixteen "is quick to anger and doesn't hide it when she is..." The middle of the question is cut off, so I can't see the full situation. One clue is still clear: the sentence uses "she", so the answer must be a female character.

Step 2: Apply the concept

In literature questions, first use the grammar of the stem to rule out options, then match the character's traits to the text.

• A. Aliyu: male
• B. Mrs Bello: female
• C. Mr Bello: male
• D. Bobo: male

Step 3: Solution

Only Mrs Bello fits "she". Mrs Bello is presented as a short-tempered, outspoken woman who shows her displeasure openly.

I can't check the rest of the question because it was cut off. If you paste the full stem, I can confirm it against the text.

Answer

B. Mrs Bello

Exam tip

In JAMB literature questions, look at pronouns (he/she) and titles (Mr/Mrs) first. They can often cut four options down to one or two before you recall any plot details.
