Analyze the question: The question asks which waterfall is the highest in West Africa. The phrase "according to the novel" means a passage in the prescribed text may mention it.
Concept: This is a recall question. You match each name to its location and claim to fame.
Going through the options:
- A. Gurara Falls is in Niger State and is known for its wide, spreading flow, not its height.
- B. Erin Ijesha Waterfalls (Olumirin) is in Osun State and is known for its seven levels or steps. It is a famous tourist site, but it is not the one usually called the highest.
