Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key

Step 1: Analyze the question

The question asks for the euphemism (a mild or indirect term used in place of a blunt one) for "cheat notes" in the novel The Life Changer by Khalid Imam.

Step 2: The concept

Students in the novel avoid saying "cheat notes" or "expo" outright. They use a softer, religious-sounding phrase, as if the notes will save them in the exam. That is what makes it a euphemism: a dishonest act is given a pious, harmless name.

Step 3: Examine the options

  • A. Salvation note of rescue: wordy and not a phrase from the text.
  • B. Note of deliverance: it has the right idea, but it is not the wording used.
  • C. Holy note of rescue: also an invented combination.
  • D. Notes of salvation: this is the phrase that fits. Cheat notes are presented as something that "saves" the student from failing.

Step 4: Answer

The correct option is D. Notes of salvation.

Exam tip

For literature-in-English questions on set books, the exact wording matters. Options A to C all sound similar, but only one matches the author's phrase. Learn the key terms, slang and euphemisms from each set text, because JAMB often tests them directly.
