How much did Habib give Tomiwa personally?

I can't solve this one from the question alone, because it's a comprehension question that depends on a passage. The passage isn't included, so I have no way to see how much Habib gave Tomiwa personally.

Analyze the question

• "Personally" is the key word. In comprehension passages, there is usually a distinction between money given personally by one individual and money given as part of a group, an organization, or a family contribution. The question is testing whether you can separate these.

What I can tell you

• I can't verify that against the passage, so I can't confirm it with my own working. Please check it against the text yourself.

How to check it in the passage

1. Scan for the names Habib and Tomiwa, and underline every amount of money mentioned.
2. Note who gave each amount. Look for phrases like "from his own pocket," "personally," or "out of his savings."
3. Watch for traps. A larger total (for example, thirty thousand) may include contributions from others, and the personal gift may be only part of it. For example, if the passage says Habib and others gave thirty thousand in total, with Habib's own share being twenty thousand, then D fits.
4. Eliminate the options that clearly refer to someone else's gift or the combined total.

Exam tip For "how much/how many" comprehension questions, always go back to the passage and match the exact wording of the question. Words like personally, altogether, in total, and each change the answer. Examiners often put the total and the individual amount both in the options.

If you paste the passage here, I can work through it with you and confirm whether D is right.
