Answer: D. Queen Amina

Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key

I can't verify this one from the question alone, because it depends on a passage that isn't included.

1. Analyze the question "What's the name of Ngozi's hostel?" is a reading comprehension (detail/recall) question. The answer is stated directly in a passage or dialogue, usually a conversation between students. Without that text, I can't confirm which option is correct from the information given.

2. The concept Detail-recall questions test whether you can locate specific facts (names, places, times) in the text. You don't need to infer anything. You just find the exact detail.

3. What I can and can't say However, I can't check this against the passage, so I can't independently confirm it. Nothing in the question itself shows why "Queen Amina" is right and the others are wrong. The options (Comrade, Beauty Queen, Queen Ana, Queen Amina) look like names from the passage, and "Queen Ana" and "Queen Amina" are deliberately similar to trap students who read carelessly.

4. How to confirm it yourself

  • Scan the passage for "Ngozi" and "hostel."
  • Read the exact spelling of the name. Don't settle for a close match like "Ana" instead of "Amina."
  • Make sure the hostel belongs to Ngozi and not to another character in the conversation.

If you paste the passage, I'll walk through it with you and verify the answer properly.

5. Exam tip When options look alike, such as Queen Ana and Queen Amina, the examiner is testing careful reading. Underline the name in the passage and compare it letter by letter with the options.

AI can make mistakes. Report anything that looks wrong.
