Analyze the question This is a literature-in-context question on The Life Changer by Khadija Abubakar Jalli. It asks which character trait describes Bint's Social Studies teacher.

Explain the concept JAMB literature questions test how well you know a character's behaviour in the story. The four options mean:

• Greedy: always wanting more money or goods.
• Arrogant: proud and looking down on others.
• Mischievous: fond of playing tricks or causing trouble, often playfully or slyly.
• Meddlesome: interfering in matters that don't concern one.

Solution I can't reliably quote the exact passage from memory, so check this against your copy of the text. Still, the other options fit less well:

• Greed and arrogance are not traits the novel stresses for this character.
• "Meddlesome" is close, but it means interfering in others' affairs, while the teacher's behaviour is shown through playful or troublesome acts.

Answer: C. mischievous

Tip: For recommended-novel questions, note each minor character's one defining trait as you read, such as the teacher, the friend or the guardian. JAMB often tests these single-word descriptions. When two options seem close, like "mischievous" and "meddlesome", pick the one that matches what the character does in the scenes, not just what he says.
