the tide had done. 'You're Tunde Onu, I'm told,' he said to her father. 'That's right,' said her father.
'The bus conductor told me you take people to the islands,' the man continued.' I'd like to go there
if you can take me.' Her father examined the man from head to foot, shrewdly measuring his
capacity to pay. Then he said: 'When were you thinking of going?' 'Right away.' 'That's a different
story, for my boatman is gone to Badagry and won't be back before nightfall. 'Oh! said the
stranger,' That's too bad. You couldn't get someone else instead of him?' 'l would have to think
hard', he said gloomily,' for it's not everyone that would do for the job of going with me beyond
the bay to the islands at this time of the year.' Shola understood her father's manoeuvre and felt
ashamed. Which of the following is true of the passage?

36. Read the passage carefully and answer the question. The training camp is one place where
people (ordinary people), mere civilians, are stretched into soldiers (WARRIORS). The soldier is
taught many physical stuff to keep him fit and prepared for war. After which, he is taught how
to use his map and compass. He is thereafter taught 'THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT': how to deal
with civilians, what to do with POW (Prisoners of War), what to do with a COMRADE if he
sustains an injury in the battle ground, etc. This picture is the same for the soldiers of the cross.
The difference is that the soldiers of the cross are enlisted by Jesus Christ, the Captain of the
Host of Heaven and not by them joining of their own volition ('Ye did not choose me, I chose
you').   One thing that is very common about the soldiers of the cross is the attitude and
aptitude of not wanting to submit to the various rigours the training provides. As a result of this,
unpreparedness sets in. Our unpreparedness and unyieldedness to training exposes us to all
manner of attacks from the enemy. Because we fail to train, we miss the RULES OF
ENGAGEMENT which ought to let us know how to battle, who to battle, and what to battle with.
We also mishandle the map and the compass that would have directed us to victory or out of
the hands of the foes. We even end up not knowing what to do with a wounded comrade. What
a tragedy! The clarion call to us today is to go back to the manual of the RULES OF
ENGAGEMENT (The Holy Bible).   (Adapted from Peculiar Truth, 2002).   From the
passage, the phrase 'soldiers of the cross' can be passed for_______

A. Heavenly Hosts

47. Read the passage carefully and answer the question. When man evolved a conscience, his basic
relationship with the other animals began to change. Until then, they were broadly divided into
those who ate him when they got the chance; those which he ate when he got the chance, and a
third group, which competed with him in the business of staying alive.   In the primitive
situation, man was therefore basically against nature but as conscience crept in, he became
aware of his responsibility and a failure to meet it, produced feelings of guilt. Hence, in recent
times, people who live in cities and do not see the need to battle against nature are nowadays
most actively for nature. About a thousand kinds of animals (vertebrate animals) are said to be
in danger of extinction. A few of them have been reduced to this precarious position by
extensive killing but the majority are disappearing only as fast as people of a particular country
need them for existence itself are disappearing; and all this at the hands of man.   For
example, the future survival of three species of the turtle being is threatened by the demand for
turtle soup, which would hardly justify the extermination of a giant reptile whose family has
existed for two hundred million years. Leopards are in jeopardy because of the need of their
skins in the fashion world as they are used to make bags, winter coats, etc. As they get rarer, the
cost for their skins rises and, as leopard skin coats become more expensive, the demand
increases. Also, the crocodiles, the longest surviving reptiles, are now dwindling alarmingly due
to the same reasons.   The human population explosion spreads across the land surfaces
of the earth at an alarming rate. There will be twice as many of us before most of us are dead.
Does this mean no room for wild animals? Of course not! With ingenuity and forethought, a
place can be kept for them. To destroy their habitat is as unnecessary as it would be to pull
down a great cathedral in order to grow potatoes on the site. A campaign to save what remains
is the concern of a new kind of Noah's Ark - The World Wildlife Fund. It does not believe that all
is lost.   Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Man Kills Animals Only When He Can Afford To Do So.

B. Man Cannot Spare Those Animals That Eat His Kind.
C. Man Eats All Categories Of Animals.
D. Man Poses The Greatest Threat To Nature.
