Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Step 1: Analyse the question This is a literature-in-English question on the JAMB recommended novel The Life Changer by Khadija Abubakar Jalli. It asks for the nickname or alias of the character Dr. Samuel Johnson. It tests recall of a character detail, not a skill you can work out.
Step 2: Recall the context In the novel, Dr. Samuel Johnson is a medical doctor. His name is shortened to a familiar nickname formed from his first and last names: Sam (from Samuel) + John (from Johnson) = Samjohn.
Step 3: Check the options
- A. SamJson: not the name used in the novel.
- B. Samjohn: this matches the nickname formed from Samuel Johnson.
- C. All of the above: wrong, since the other options are not used.
- D. Johnsam: this reverses the order of the name, and it is not the name used in the text.
This is a recall question, and I am working from memory of the text.
Step 4: Answer Dr. Samuel Johnson is also known as Samjohn, which is option B.
Exam tip: For recommended-novel questions, keep a short list of each major character's full name, nickname, role, and one key event. JAMB often tests these details directly. When a nickname is a blend of someone's names, keep the original order of the names, as in Sam + John. That helps you rule out reversed options like "Johnsam".
