    Read the narrative below and then answer the questions that follow. A greedy Old Man and the Sausage Once upon a time, there lived an old man. One day he paid a visit to his in-laws. On entering the house of his mother-in-law, he found that she had been roasting some meat, among which was delicious looking sausage and she was not in the house. He immediately took the sausage and quickly shoved it into his quiver. And it so happened that a piece of live coal had got stuck on the sausage but the old man didn’t know. He quickly shut the quiver. No sooner had he sat down than the owner of the house came in. They sat down to talk about the children’s health. When they had finished, it was time for the old man to return to his home. Just then, the woman noticed smoke issuing from the quiver and asked the old man; “Paker, how come the quiver is smoking? The man answered, “Oh. It’s some naughty fire stick with a soft head that smokes whenever it comes into contact with soft wood and the arrows.” The woman kept quiet and got up to escort her guest. When they had walked only a short distance, the fire made a hole in the quiver and the arrows fell out, tak! together with the stolen sausage. The lady, who was walking closely behind, exclaimed: ‘see, had I not known it! Then the old man fearing that his sausage might be eaten shouted, “Oh, my Paker, Please do not do it!” So while the lady ran home in shame, the greedy old man continued with his journey in extreme embarrassment. They showed each other their backs and there ends the story. i) State three things a narrator would do to draw the audience’s attention at the beginning of the story ii) Describe how a narrator would perform line 4-6 of the second paragraph iii) Explain four ways in which audience can indicate active listening in the performance of this narrative iv) Apart from using the ending formula, how else would a narrator signal to the audience the ending of his story?

    Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow. As we stand, the HIV/Aids pandemic is on the rampage; ravaging the young and the old alike. It is time for people to decide for themselves what is good and what is not. And the earlier they do this the better. The youth, for instance, can rise up with the message of hope and assure everybody that it is possible for a remnant to remain by just abstaining from premarital sex. And how will they abstain if everywhere they look images of sex stare at them, beckoning alluringly? The thing to remember is that it is their responsibility to censor the stuff that gets into their minds because this will definitely affect the kind of decisions and lifestyle they adopt. Before reading a pornographic book or magazine, they should pause and ask themselves, “Do I hope to become better after reading this? “The same consideration should be made before watching certain movies and listening to offensive music. Guarding one’s mind against trash requires laying down very clear principles. Discipline is imperative, For young people, it is important to choose friends wisely. They should determine what they will be doing when they come together. If a friend is not building them up, or is causing them undue pressure, they should shun him or her. This pressure often takes the form of making those who choose to abstain from pre-marital or illicit sex inadequate. Avoiding idleness is equally important. The wise say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. The solution is to get busy with constructive activities be they academic, economic, physical or spiritual. Trying out new hobbies such as gardening playing football, swimming, basket weaving, baking and volunteer work is a step in the right direction. Parents must also take full responsibility of bringing up their children. They are the first counsellors of their children especially in the formative stages. Unless they do something in good time, they will cry alone when the disaster of teenage pregnancies, abortion and HIV/Aids happens right under their own roofs. The onus is upon them to freely discuss issues of sexuality with their children. Teachers too have a very crucial role to play in the lives of their students. The youth spend a bigger percentage of their waking moments with their teachers. The teachers not only equip them with academic knowledge but also with the right attitudes and behavior. And it is a good thing that sex education has been introduced in the school curriculum. Studies by AMREF have shown that, contrary to popular belief, sex education does not promote promiscuity. Rather it enlightens its recipient’s health issues. Moreover, places of worship must pitch in with their contributions. They are in an excellent position of imparting the correct moral values to their adherents. Besides, they can provide social and religious activities that will build the youth up spiritually and mentally. Finally, it is incumbent upon the government to put in place legislation governing what the citizens, especially the youth, are exposed to in the form of print or electronic media. In conclusion, the future generation is keenly watching us to see if we will wreck or salvage the boat of their survival. Every member of our society has a part to play in enhancing morality. It is only by doing this that we can hope to check the onslaught of HIV/Aids. Questions a) Why is there need to make a decision soon? b) Rewrite the following sentence in the past: The youth, for instance, can rise up with the message of hope and assure everybody that it is possible for a remnant to remain by just abstaining from premarital sex c) What is pornography and how do you think it influences one’s behavior. d) Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech They should pause and ask themselves, “Do I hope to become better after reading this?” e) Which words does the author use to show displeasure with some kinds of films and music? f) What sort of friend does the author appear to recommend? g) In note from, give evidence to show that every member of society has role to play in enhancing morality. h) Explain the meaning of the following words and phrases as used in the passage. I) beckoning alluringly ii) adherents iii) incumbent upon iv) onslaught

    Read the following story and answer the questions that follow The Monkey and The Crocodile A long time ago, Monkey and Crocodile were very good friends. The Monkey’s house was close to a river and there were many fruit trees on the banks of this river. Usually monkey would sit on the branches of the fruit trees and chat with his friend Crocodile who would be basking on the banks of the river. Their friendship continued for a long time until they decided it was time to introduce their wives to this friendship. "We have been friends for a long time and you don’t even know my house, Crocodile began. "Neither do you know mine," Monkey replied. "It is easier for you to come to my-house that it is for me to visit you since I cannot swim and your house is beyond the water." “That is not a problem. I can always carry you on my back," responded crocodile. "Let us visit my house first. My wife is a very good cook,” Monkey argued. “No” replied Crocodile “My wife has had a baby and there is plenty to eat in the house.” “Let us not argue about this,” Monkey said. ”If we go to my house first, my wife will not be anxious when I tell her I am going across the waters to visit you." They agreed that they would visit Monkey's house first. Though at first Monkey's wife was afraid of crocodile, she later realized that Crocodile was very friendly. She did not have problems with her husband visiting him. In fact she wished she would join him. Monkey was very excited the following day when he got to the banks of the river and found Crocodile waiting for him. This was going to be Monkey's first trip across the waters and he could not hide his excitement. He jumped onto Crocodile's back and Crocodile swiftly swam towards the deep waters. When they were in the middle of the river, crocodile slowed down and began, laughing. "Why are you laughing?" Monkey asked in surprise "You fool. Did you think I would take you to my house? I have waited for that heart of yours for a long time. Today I have it.” Immediately Monkey knew he was in deep trouble. He started thinking of a way out of his predicament. "Poor you, my friend: Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?" Monkey calmly asked. "What do you mean?" asked Crocodile in surprise "It is not difficult for me to give you my heart. If you had asked when we were at my house. I would even have given you my wife's heart too," Monkey replied. Crocodile was confused. "Then why don't you give it to me now?" Crocodile asked. You see my friend; Monkeys have a tradition of leaving their hearts at home when they are going for a long journey. I therefore left mine on my favorite tree." Crocodile was even more confused. "We can go and visit your wife first, and then I will give you my heart when you take me back," Monkey suggested. "No," cried crocodile "I will take you back first. When 1 have your heart, we can then visit my wife." Quickly, Crocodile headed back to the bank of the river. When they got there, monkey jumped from Crocodile's back onto his favorite tree. He asked crocodile to open is mouth wide to receive the heart. Monkey then picked the biggest of the mangoes on the tree and threw it into Crocodile's open mouth. It fell in with a thud, breaking four of Crocodile's teeth. Crocodile was so upset but there was nothing he could do as Monkey jumped from tree to tree insulting him. From that day Monkey and Crocodile have remained enemies. And that is the end of my story and may I not end like it. Questions 1. Classify this narrative and give reasons for your classification 2. Name two characters found in this story 3. a) Using an adjective, describe monkey’s character trait that enabled him save his life from the crocodile b) Illustrate your answer 4.

  • Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:- The communicative power of the English language(Solved)

    Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:- The communicative power of the English language Once it used to be said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire". This meant that the British Empire covered all the time zones, so that when the sun was setting on one part of the Empire, it was rising on another. The same thing can be said about the English language today. English is spoken as a first language in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. It is also spoken in the Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana among others. In addition to this, English is used as a second language in over fifty countries spread across Africa and Asia. This means that when you have a good command of English you can enjoy the writings of people from all over the world, and you can communicate your ideas beyond the borders of this continent. We in East Africa embraced the English language accidentally through the colonial experience. English came in as a welcome addition to our already rich language situation of over forty local languages and Kiswahili. In fact the majority of Kenyans today are multilingual. They use at least three languages: a local language, Kiswahili and English. A good number of others speak a fourth language which may be either French, Spanish, German, Japanese or Arabic among others. The local or ethnic language bonds a person to the history, culture and religious traditions of his or her people. If you speak one of the ethnic languages, for example, you are able to enjoy the songs, dances, stories, proverbs and riddles in that language. It also helps you to communicate with the older folks who may not understand English or Kiswahili. Kiswahili is the national language in Kenya and is used by people from all the ethnic groups. When one speaks and understands Kiswahili, one can communicate with people from all over Kenya. Kiswahili is in fact a "regional language", because it is spoken in a number of countries in East and Central Africa. Lately, Kiswahili was indeed adopted as one of the working languages at African Union meetings. Kiswahili, therefore, opens opportunities beyond the borders of Kenya. After Kenya attained independence, English was retained as the official language because it was, and still is, a great advantage for many of our operations. Though the original speakers of English were the people living in the British Isles, English is now spoken as a first language in two other continents, North America and Australia. It is also the second language for millions of people living all over the world. Therefore, with English you can be at home anywhere in the world. English provides us with a powerful link to the global village. Recent developments in modern technology have enhanced our ability to speak, read, write and understand English well. Many of the computer programmes available, for example, are made to respond to instruction given in English. English is also important for participation at the international level. Many reports and records on recent developments, science and other special research are in English. There is much more written literature in English than there is in any other language. Therefore, a student who can read and write English well is at an advantage. In international news broadcasting, users of English are greatly advantaged. The prominent international news networks broadcast in English. English thus enjoys a prestigious position in the communication of events taking place in the world. For those who want to be part of what is happening in the world, English is a very important tool. What does this mean for those of us in Africa and Asia, where English is learned mainly in school? There is need to put a lot of effort in the teaching and learning of this language so that we can be part of the vast changes taking place in the world today. Questions 1. What is the meaning of the clause “the sun never sets on the British Empire?” 2. In which region is English spoken as a second language, according to the passage? 3. State two advantages that a person who has a good command of the English language has 4. How did English come to East Africa? 5. Why is East Africa and particularly Kenya referred to as having a rich language situation? 6. What is the benefit of being able to speak one of the ethnic languages in East Africa? 7. What is the official language in Kenya? 8. How is English useful in modern developments in technology? 9. What makes a student who knows English to be at an advantage over one who doesn’t know? 10. What can speakers of English in Africa and Asia do to avoid missing out in what is happening in the world today? 11. What is the meaning of the following words according to the passage? a) Multilingual…… b) Adopted…… c) Prominent…… d) Vast……

  • Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. As he grew up at Sironga village in the current Nyamira district, Daniel Abuga Nyatigo...(Solved)

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. As he grew up at Sironga village in the current Nyamira district, Daniel Abuga Nyatigo admired soldiers in uniform as they drove by in Land-Rovers. Yet, when he came of age and made an attempt to join the Kenya Army, the recruiting officers rejected him five times "1 had lost hope until a friend advised me to join the National Youth Service, learn a trade and join the Army as a specialist," he says He joined the army after training as a plant operator at the NYS. Today, 32 years after he joined the army, the man affectionately referred to by his younger colleagues as "Babu" and "Sokoro" (Kisii for elder), is among the Kenya Defence Forces in Somalia. His dream has, in a sense, been accomplished. He is a Senior Sergeant, but fate has also conspired to have his son, Senior Private Wycliffe Abuga, 30, also deployed to the front line in the war against Al-Shabaab Snr Sgt Abuga is based at the KDF patrol base at Tabda, about 70 kilometers in Somalia, while his son is at Beles Qoogani, 35 kilometers further. Some describe the military as a national insurance scheme in which the annual budgetary allocations are the equivalent of premiums, and the eventualities for which they are deployed the accidents insurers compensate .for If that be the case, it is time for the soldiers in Operation Linda Nchi to pay back for the years of training and pay that led to the derisive description of the Kenyan Defense Forces as a career army. Lieutenant-Colonel Jeff Nyagah, the commander of the KDF troops in the Central Sector, estimates that 70 per cent of the soldiers currently in Somalia have been involved in combat. Snr Sgt Abuga, who supervises the drivers on the Armored Personnel Carriers at Tabda, has had his fair share of fighting since Operation Linda Nchi began in mid - October 2011. The asymmetrical nature of the operation means there are no frontages and, with Al-Shabaab using guerrilla tactics, there have been no shortage of encounters and opportunities for KDF to test their weaponry and skills Snr Sgt Abuga says he has been involved in 11 attacks since the operation started, the bulk of them ambushes on the Puma APCs that are arguably the safest vehicles in the fleet. Al-Shabaab are said to refer to the sturdy armor-clad machines as "the graves from which people rise" and Snr Sgt Abuga was in one when they rained rocket-propelled grenades on the windscreen. "If you sit in one of these vehicles and come under an attack, it sounds like it is raining. You shouldn't be worried," he says as he points out the openings through which the soldiers shoot. He says he was with his son in convoy when they came under attack from Al-Shabaab in an ambush. Interestingly, Snr Sgt Abuga and his son were among the first to undergo training on driving, servicing and maintaining the new APCs when they were delivered in September 2011. Sgt Abuga is based at Kahawa Barracks while his son is with the Nanyuki-based First Kenya Rifles Battalion. Now they keep in touch on the Hormund Telecom mobile phone network, which somehow operates in the infamously lawless state and is a useful communication channel with those back home. Does he worry that either he or his son could be hit in one of the attacks? "Kifo cha nyani kikifika, miti yote huteleza," he says, using the Swahili proverb that suggests each man is born with his destiny, and there is no avoiding death. For Snr Sgt Abuga and other soldiers in Somalia, spending the nights and a good part of the day in trenches is normal, and nobody seems to mind the dust. "I'm happy to have fought here," he says as we look at his reinforced trench, which he has been converting into a bunker of sorts, immune to mortars and RPGs. He does not foresee a longer future in the army once Operation Linda Nchi is over - whenever that may be - but hopes for a promotion to the next rank, Warrant Officer 11, before he retires. "If I get a little more pension and I'm able to buy myself a small pick-up, buy a few cattle and work on my farm, I'll be one happy senior sergeant," he says. Sgt Abuga was in a convoy last Tuesday that unearthed significantly large improvised explosive devices (IEDs) about 12 kilometers away from Tabda towards Beles Qoogani. Al-Shabaab attempted to stage an ambush on the convoy but were repulsed by a combination of the Transitional Federal Government soldiers and the Kenyan troops. The Abugas were happy to be reunited, if only for a short while. Although they are a generation apart -the son speaks Sheng, showing a silver tooth while the father speaks Kiswahili with a thick Kisii accent-their resemblance is obvious. The son, who is also a father of one, foresees a long future serving in the army. Snr Sgt Abuga might not have his pick-up, cows and farm yet, but he appears to be one happy senior sergeant. Questions a) Why did Daniel Abuga Nyatigo want to join the armed forces? b) According to the passage, how many times had Daniel Abuga Nyatigo unsuccessfully tried to join the armed forces? c) According to the passage, where is Sr Sgnt Daniel Abuga Nyatigo’s son based? d) According to the passage, what types of vehicles are used for fighting in Somalia? e) What two things does Snr Sgnt Nyatigo wish for before he retires? f) According to the passage, where do the Kenyan forces in Somalia spend most of their time? g) What difference is there between Abuga the son and his father? h) Why is it important that KDF forces have encounters with Al Shabaab in Somalia?
