1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.( 20mks)

Unless the youth realize that they are the waited for leaders and so the expected change remains a tale.For long, present heads say the youths are their future leaders. This has become a wisp lest cliché which should be buried in deserted grounds.For if one knows the reaping is soon then, his work proves zealous enough to bear a hefty harvest.On the other hand an unknown promise is like the desert oasis or myriads appearing for a thirsty man,never shall one rich them.

All in all, the yout6h have much to do than their bearers. People see leaders in responsible individuals – those who know and initiate duties and projects respectively, they should be honest enough to tell when they do a vice and be ready to face the repercussions. Others looks upon leaders who will be less opportunistic- grasping chances to benefit only themselves, they should care for everyone else around them, know their desires, needs and troubles.
The list may be too long but all in all they hung around a simple word . A Virturious person.
What is meant here is that, the youth should then realize a virturous person is nurtured and also natured.Youth were born empty and holy,then when did you rebel and fill your head with viced despised in the society.Thus, the time is now.
