This question is based on "The Life Changer" novel. Who among Salma's roommate was reserved and withdrawn yet generous to a fault?

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks which of Salma's roommates in The Life Changer by Khadija Abubakar Jalli was quiet and withdrawn but very generous ("generous to a fault").

Step 2: Recall the characters Salma's roommates in the university hostel are Ngozi, Tomiwa and Ada. Each has a distinct personality, and the novel uses them to show the different backgrounds and attitudes of young women on campus.

Step 3: Match the traits

• Ngozi is the quiet, reserved one. She keeps to herself but readily shares what she has with others.
• Tomiwa and Ada are more outgoing and expressive, so the "reserved and withdrawn" description doesn't fit them.
• "None of them" is unlikely, because the question describes a specific character.

I'm working from my recollection of the novel here rather than a line-by-line check of the text.

Answer: A. Ngozi

Tip: For JAMB literature questions, make a small character table as you read, with each character's name, personality trait and key action. Questions like this one usually ask you to match a trait to a name. Re-reading the early chapters, where the characters are introduced, helps a lot.
