Aloho begins her harvest of corruption when____________

Analyze the question The question asks when Aloho begins to reap the consequences ("harvest") of the corrupt life she has entered. This is a question about the turning point in the plot, where her actions start to cost her.

Explain the concept In this kind of text, "harvest" is a metaphor. You sow something, then you reap what you sowed. Aloho's involvement with the wealthy and deceitful Chief Ade Amaka is the "sowing". The "harvest" starts when the consequences become real and cannot be undone.

Go through the options

• A. She found out the truth about Chief Ade Amaka. This is only a discovery about him. It is not yet a consequence she has to live with.
• B. She discovered she was 3 months pregnant and abortion was impossible. This is the first irreversible consequence. She is trapped with the result of her relationship, and the harvest begins here.
• C. Her best friend warned her about Chief Ade Amaka. This is a warning, which comes before the consequences.
• D. She eventually died after giving birth to a baby girl. This is the end of the harvest, not its beginning. The word "eventually" shows it comes last.

Answer The harvest begins when the consequence becomes unavoidable, which is the discovery of the pregnancy with no way out.

Tip For "when does X begin" questions in Literature, look for the first irreversible event. Warnings and discoveries usually come before it, and death or final outcomes come after it.
