Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question
This is a reading comprehension question that refers to a specific passage about Mr Bepo and his students' excursions to Mushin and Ajegunle. The passage itself was not included, so I can't check the answer against the text.
Concept
In comprehension questions, the answer must come from the passage, not from outside knowledge. When you can't see the passage, the options themselves can still help you reason:
- A (relocating students) is unrealistic for a teacher to promise.
- C (discouraging future visits) contradicts the word "inspire". Discouragement is the opposite of inspiration.
- D (giving motivational books) is possible, but it is a specific detail that would have to be stated in the passage.
- B (sharing stories of successful people who rose from slums) fits the situation well. Seeing hardship in places like Mushin and Ajegunle, then hearing about people who overcame similar conditions, is a natural way to inspire students.
Solution
- The key word is "inspire", so the correct option must show encouragement or motivation.
- Eliminate C, which discourages, and A, which is an unlikely promise.
- Between B and D, B links directly to the slum areas visited, since the stories are about people from similar backgrounds. D has no connection to the places visited.
However, because the passage wasn't provided, I can't confirm it word for word. If you can send the passage, I can check the exact sentence that supports B.
Tip
For "how did X inspire..." questions, look for the option that links the experience (the visit) to a positive outcome (success stories). Eliminate options that contradict the key verb or introduce things the passage is unlikely to mention, such as promises of relocation.
