Test: Chapter - 1 - JAMB MCQ

It is mentioned that Bint chose French as an optional subject at school.

After Bint answered the teacher's question correctly, the class began clapping and laughing.

The teacher left the classroom because he couldn't answer Bint's question and returned with the French Mistress to provide the correct response.

When Omar shared the news of his admission to the university, Bint's siblings screamed and shouted in excitement.

Omar was given admission to study Law at Ahmadu Bello University.

Omar wanted his sisters to address him as "My Learned Brother" because he was going to study Law.

Teemah responded to Omar's request by saying, "Look here, young lady, call me with respect." This indicates that she didn't address him as My Learned Brother.

Omar got admitted to study Law at the Kongo Campus of Ahmadu Bello University.

Bint's siblings screamed, shouted, and ululated in excitement upon hearing about Omar's admission, indicating their happiness for him.

The narrator was pleasantly surprised and pleased by Omar's admission to the university.

Omar mentions that his father promised to upgrade his torchlight phone to a smart android phone upon hearing the news of his admission.

Teemah questions Omar's trustworthiness by bringing up the times he took her zobo without paying, implying that he cannot be trusted with money.

The family decided to go outside and sit under the mango tree in the courtyard because the room was getting stuffy due to the heat.

The mother hesitated to tell a story because she felt her life before marriage was one dreary thing after another and didn't think it would be interesting for the children.

Omar passed his SSCE examinations and scored seven credits, including English and Mathematics, in his WAEC examination, which contributed to his admission to the university.

Omar's friends advised him to check his admission status online, as they had already done, to find out if he was among the successful candidates.

Omar expresses that it would have been better if he had a smartphone like his friends, who could check their admissions comfortably from their bedrooms, rather than having to wait two days to go to an internet café.

The mother explains to Omar that his admission to the university is a "life changer" because it will bring new opportunities and change his life for the better.

Omar naively interprets the term "life changer" as meaning that he has become a member of the intelligentsia, suggesting that he sees his admission as a significant intellectual achievement.

Teemah stops taunting Omar after sensing that he was slightly hurt by her comments about his achievement, showing empathy towards her brother.
