Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow
Nasila River – cool, smooth and silent – swirled quietly about the boulders that were half submerged in it. It was deep and wide. She stood at its bank for a long time, staring down, into the water. Could the answer to her woes be in that river? Yes, it could be! Just a swift, cold shock as she fell into the water and then there would be peace. Yes, peace all over, from her father, from Oloisudori and from the fact that she had failed to get admission to Egerton University. As the idea
floated in her mind, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Shocker, she turned around. It was Olarinkoi.
“What are you doing here at the river side”? he asked with little interest.
“Nothing,” Resian said nonchalantly. “I am just relaxing.”
“Don’t be foolish, little girl,” Olarinkoi said seriously. “You may not want to tell me what is happening, but Iam not foolish and I can put one and one together. Oloisudori’s men are now looking for you everywhere. They have instructions to seize you and take you to Nakuru to be his wife.
“Just leave me,” Resian said angrily, “Go tell them to come and find me here.”
“Listen, you stupid girl,” Olarinkoi said in his caustic language. “If you do not want to marry Oloisudori, I can rescue you the way I rescued you from those vagabonds who had accosted you and your sister. I know where Minik ene Enkoitoi the Emakererei lives and where she keeps girls rescued from the situation you are now in. There is no need to despair in life. There is always another chance.”
That could be something to consider, Resian thought, new hope rising in her heart. Yes, it would be wonderful to be received by Emakererei. And who knows, there could still be a chance to enrol at the Egerton University, through Emakererei.
“How could we ever get there?” asked Resian a flicker of hope lighting her heart. “I hear it is very very far from here.”
“Yes it is far,” confirmed Olarinkoi. “But where there is hope things always work out. The Maa people say home is never far for one who is still alive.”
a) Place this excerpt in its immediate context.
b) Describe the incident that Olarinkoi claims to have rescued Taiyo and her sister.
c) a thematic concern found in the excerpt.
d) What does the author imply when he says, “could the answer to her woes be in that river?”
e) Explain the irony in the excerpt.
f) Apart from irony, comment on any other two aspects of style that the writer has used in the excerpt.
g) From elsewhere in the novel, state the prophecy that Olarinkoi is trying to fulfill when he plans to rescue Resian.
h) Comment on the character of Olarinkoi later in the novel.
i) What is the attitude of Resian towards Oloisudori’s proposal?
j) Give the meaning of the following words.
i) Nonchalantly...
ii) Put one and one together...

Breakthrough
When I reached the threshold
The gate was quickly locked
Though loud and long knocked
They left me in the cold
I stood outside for long
Wondering what was wrong
Honour wouldn’t let me
A peeping to be
When night tiptoed behind
Me a stranded pilgrim
Ah, I made up my mind
To fight on for my dream
I crashed open the gate
Uncaring it was wrong
Wow, I was hugged with a song –
A welcome initiate
