Analyzing the question

This is a reading comprehension question about a passage on the Ignatius family. The question asks what disrupted their relocation plans.

The problem

The passage the question is based on was not included in your message. Without it, I can't verify from the text which event actually disrupted the family's plans. None of the four options can be confirmed or ruled out by general knowledge, because the answer depends entirely on what the passage says.

What I can tell you

  • I can't independently confirm this without the passage, so please check it against the text. I'm not able to say the key is wrong, but I'm also not able to say that I verified it myself.

How to check it yourself (a method for any JAMB comprehension question)

  1. Find the keywords: "relocation," "plans," "disrupted," "moving," "travel," "japa," or similar words.
  2. Look for the turning point: Passages usually have a "but," "however," or "then suddenly" moment where plans change. The disruption is usually right after it.
  3. Test each option against the text: • A: Does the passage say Mr Ignatius lost his job? • B: Does it say Mrs Ignatius changed her mind? • C: Does it mention a DNA test and Favour's parentage? • D: Does it mention a visa refusal?
  4. Eliminate options that are not stated. JAMB answers are always supported directly by the passage, not by guesses about what is likely.

Exam tip: Don't pick the option that sounds most dramatic or most common in real life. Pick the one the passage explicitly states.

If you paste the passage, I'll go through it line by line and confirm whether C is truly supported.
