How old is Bint?

I can't solve this one yet because the question depends on information that isn't included. "How old is Bint?" is a comprehension question, which means it is based on a passage (or a dialogue or a set of sentences) that you read first. Without that text, there is nothing to tell us Bint's age.

I can't verify that myself, because I haven't seen the passage. I don't want to just assert it and pretend I worked it out.

Please send me the passage. Type out the part of the text that mentions Bint, or the whole passage if you can.

How to find the answer in a comprehension passage yourself:

1. Scan for the name. Look for "Bint" in the passage and read the sentences around it.
2. Look for age clues. These can be direct ("Bint is five years old") or indirect: • "Bint is two years older than her brother, who is three" gives 3 + 2 = 5. • "Bint started school last year at age 4" gives 4 + 1 = 5.
3. Do the arithmetic carefully. Indirect clues often need a small calculation.
4. Check every option against the text. Eliminate the ones that contradict the passage.

Exam tip: In JAMB English comprehension, never answer from guesswork. The answer is always in the passage. Read the questions first, then read the passage while hunting for those specific details. This saves time.
