Answer: B. Easy money

Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key

I can't determine the answer from the question alone, and here's why.

1. Analyze the question "What is Dr Kabir's weakness?" is a reading comprehension question. It depends on a specific passage (or a lecture/oral text) about Dr Kabir. The question and options you've sent do not include that passage, so there's nothing in the text I can check each option against.

2. Explain the concept In JAMB comprehension questions, the answer is always stated or strongly implied in the passage. Words like "weakness" usually point to phrases such as:

  • "he could not resist..."
  • "his Achilles' heel was..."
  • "he was easily tempted by..."
  • "he had a soft spot for..."

3. Working through it Without the passage, I cannot confirm any option by reasoning. Each of A (women), B (easy money), C (food) and D (alcohol) is a plausible "weakness" in the abstract.

**4. I can't verify it independently because I don't have the passage, so please check it against the text. Find the sentence in the passage that says what tempted or ruined Dr Kabir. If it mentions money, gain, bribes, or quick wealth, then B is confirmed.

5. Exam tip For "weakness" or "character" questions:

  • Scan the passage for the person's name and read the sentences around it.
  • Eliminate options the passage never mentions.
  • Don't use outside knowledge. Choose only what the passage supports.

If you paste the passage here, I'll go through it with you line by line and confirm whether B is correct.
