Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyzing the question: This asks about the setting of J.C. de Graft's Sons and Daughters (a Ghanaian play).
Recalling the play: Sons and Daughters is set in Accra, Ghana, and centres on the household of James Ofosu, a middle-class man. His children, Aba and Maanu, and his son Ofosu (the family's son who wants to be a painter) face the conflict of parental ambition versus the children's career dreams. The central character is Mr. James Ofosu, who wants his son Ofosu to study medicine, while Ofosu wants to be an artist. Most scenes occur in the Ofosu family home, with the play's action revolving around the household and their relatives and friends visiting.
Other options don't fit:
- A. George's place: George Barnes, Aba's boyfriend/suitor, appears in the play but it is not his home that serves as the main setting.
- C. On the street: The play is a domestic drama, not set in a street.
- D. On the stage: This is a performance venue, not a setting within the story.
Reasoning: The main setting is the home of the Ofosu family (Mr. Ofosu's house).
Answer: B. In Ofosu's place
Tip: For literature setting questions, identify the family or central character around whom the play revolves. Domestic dramas such as Sons and Daughters are mostly set in the main family's home.
