Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key

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.
  • C. Ikogosi Warm Springs is in Ekiti State and is famous for warm and cold water meeting. It is not a high waterfall.
  • D. Owu Waterfalls is in Kwara State (Isin LGA). It is widely described as the highest natural waterfall in Nigeria and in West Africa, and it is a major tourist attraction.

Answer: The correct option is **D.

Tip: Link each site to its special feature:

  • Owu = Over-the-top height (tallest)
  • Erin Ijesha = seven levels
  • Ikogosi = warm and cold together
  • Gurara = wide flow

Also, always check the passage or novel for the exact wording on "highest" questions.
