Mrs. Linde: I think I have the right to be. I too have
Nora: I think so, too. But now, listen to this: something to be proud and glad of.
Mrs. Linde: I have no doubt you have. But what do you refer
Nora: Speak low. Suppose Torvald were to hear! He mustn't on any account — no one in the world must know, Christine, except you.
Mrs. Linde: But what is it?
Nora: Come here. (pulls her down on the sofa beside her.)
Now I will show you that I too have something to be proud of. It was I who saved Torvald's life.
Mrs. Linde: 'Saved'? How?
Nora: I told you about our trip to Italy. Torvald would never have recovered if he had not gone there —
Mrs. Linde: Yes, but your father gave you the necessary funds.
Nora: (smiling) Yes, that is what Torvald and all the others think, but—
Mrs. Linde: But—
Nora: Papa didn't give us a shilling. It was I who procured the
Mrs. Linde: You? All that large sum?
Nora: Two hundred and fifty pounds. What do you think of that?
Mrs. Linde: But, Nora, how could you possibly do it? Did you win a prize in the lottery?
Nora: (contemptuously) In the lottery? There would have been no credit in that.
Mrs. Linde: But where did you get it from, then?
Nora: (humming and smiling with an air of mystery) Hm, hm! Aha!
Mrs. Linde: Because you couldn't have borrowed it.
Nora: Couldn't l? Why not?
Mrs. Linde: No a wife cannot borrow without her husband consent.
Nora: (tossing her head) Oh, if it is a wife who has any head for business — a wife who has the wit to be a little bit clever
Mrs. Linde: I don't understand it at all, Nora.
Nora: There is no need you should. I never said I had borrowed the money. I may have got it some other way. (lies back on the sofa) Perhaps I got it from some other admirer. When anyone is as attractive as I am -

Nora: Now, you know you're full of curiosity, Christine.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
With every passing day, technology is overtaking our daily lives. Regardless of age, gender, career or economic status, smartphones are fast becoming ubiquitous.
More than two million Kenyans now own smartphones. Add the computer, tablet and other high tech devices and your life is surrounded by a myriad gadgets which, to some, have become best friends.
Many of us rely on the phone to do everything, from saying “ I love you” to “I’m quitting”, from checking bank balances to selling stuff on OLX, from sharing photos and videos to streaming content on the web. We can carry out a plethora of daily tasks, right from the palms of our hands.
At the dinner table, it’s the norm to constantly check for texts, e-mails, tweets, WhatsApp and Face book updates. In a darkened movie hall, people are always multi task on their phones while watching a movie. Some people even walk with the phone to the toilet and text and take calls from there.
Over dinner, in church, at a funeral service and even when carrying on face-to-face conversation, the smartphone is guaranteed to keep you in tune and in touch. It is common to see careless people texting while driving despite the fact that it is six times more dangerous to text and drive than to drink and drive.
Because of this over-dependence on the smartphone, many people suffer from the fear of losing it, even if only for a few minutes.
The “I must- have-my-phone-with-me-at-all-times” mindset has become such a real problem. There’s now a name coined for the fear of being without phone: nomophobia -no-mo(bile) phone-phobia. Nomophobia is the fear of not being able to connect to the digital world by the means of mobile phone.
Although there is no ICD-10 code (the required classification for any medical condition) yet for this specific affliction, researchers into the phenomenon describe nomophobic people as individuals who suffer from the anxiety of not having their mobile phone.
The anxiety commonly manifests itself when the person notices their smartphones has a low battery, no internet connection or if it is missing and one is therefore out of the loop with friends, family, work and the world. We are ever so busy with gadgets that we intrude into other people’s space.
As our culture becomes ever more tech savvy and tech hungry, phone-free zones will become more and more common. Just like we have smoke-free zones in public places, we are starting to see quiet corners, where phone calls are restricted. It’s because common courtesy is often thrown out the window when we’re on the phone.
Some airports are now offering lounges that are cell phone free. Just like cigarettes, the mobile phone pendulum is beginning to swing as more and more people acquire monophonic tendencies.
Considering the Smartphone’s new abilities and capabilities, they are now being used like digital ‘Swiss Army Knives’, replacing possessions like watches, cameras, books and even laptops. Today the Smartphone is capable of being an alarm clock, digital camera, and even television, which causes users to become heavily dependent on it.
Psychologists advise that, while monophobia could possibly never receive a diagnosis, it is certainly a rising trend. If you constantly find yourself using your Smartphone at odd times, such as dinner table, while driving, or even in washroom, try your best to refrain from it and use it only when it is safe and not considered rude.
Setting limits for yourself and engaging with family and friends face-to-face can help calm the anxiety of continuously checking your phone.

Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
A long, long time ago, there was a man and his wife. They had built their hut in the middle of the forest but they had fenced round the homestead to keep wild animals from entering the compound. Now this man used to go to the smithy to join the other smiths in ironwork. This time, when he went, he left his wife heavy with child.
In this forest, there was a big ogre. As soon as the man went away the ogre came into the compound with a heavy load of firewood. When he brought the load to the compound, he dropped it outside with a big thud of this firewood.
He went inside the hut where he made some porridge. He drank it. To the expectant woman he said, “Woman with child, take this. You don’t want, I shall eat it for you.” And he ate all the porridge. Now this happened everyday for many days and the expectant mother grew as weak as the reeds by the riverside. When the time came for her delivery, the ogre crudely assisted her but he did not give her food.
Now the woman continued to be starved and grew weaker and weaker. She became very worried yet she did not lose heart. Every day she used to spread her castor oil seeds in the sun for she hoped to make oil for the child’s skin.
One day when she had spread her castor oil seeds in the sun, a dove came and helped herself to some seeds. The woman said to her, “You always come here to eat my seeds. Will you go if I send you?”
Said the dove, “let me eat my fill and then you can send me wherever you want. The dove ate until she had had enough.
“Where do you want to send me?”
“Go to the smithy and when you see the smiths ,sing these words:
Mutuiuukutuaisaangalalai x2
Mukauniwasyaiyeisaangalalai
Avyuviiawaniyiimu iii saangalalai
Yisikuyanakwivua iii
Saangalalaisa.
(Blacksmith smithing on your iron x 2
Your wife has given birth
Assisted by an ogre
Which eats all it has prepared)
And the dove went to the smiths and sang the song:
Blacksmith smithing on your iron x 2
Your wife has given birth
Assisted by an ogre
Which eats all it has prepared.
What is this thing – of a – bird saying, disturbing our work?” said one man throwing a stone at the dove. But the dove perched herself on another tree and sang again.
Blacksmith smithing on your iron x 2
Your wife has given birth
Assisted by an ogre
Which eats all it has prepared.
This time the men said;
“Haiya, perhaps this bird has a message for us. Who of us left his wife heavy with a child?”
Said one man, “I left my wife heavy.”
“Eei, take your things. Go home. This message might be yours. Your wife might have given birth and she is in danger.”
At home, the ogre was still tormenting the woman. He used to go to the shamba, dig out the sweet potatoes, prepare them and offer them to her when they were already in his mouth, “Woman with child take this. You don’t want it, I’ll eat it for you.”
One day when the sun stood in the middle of the compound, her husband arrived from the smithy. He hid himself in the darkest corner of the hut and awaited the ogre. When the ogre arrived he cooked, ate all the food and slept on the naked floor. From his mouth came green, yellow and red foam that was a sign that he was fast asleep.
It was then that the blacksmith came down and speared him through and through until he was dead. Then the man and his wife moved and built a new home in another place.
a) Classify the above narrative and give a reason for your classification.
b) In the story, what shows that the ogre never intended to share the food with the woman?
c) Discuss any two features in the story that qualify it as a traditional oral narrative.
d) With an illustration for each, describe two character traits of the ogre
e) Of what use is the song in the story?
f) What is the livelihood of the people from which this story is derived?

Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow.
Helmer: What sort of an expression is that to use about our marriage?
Nora: (undisturbed) I mean that I was simply transferred from papa's hands into yours. You arranged everything according to your own taste, and so I got the same tastes as yours or else I pretended to, I am really not quite sure which — I think sometimes the one and sometimes the other. When I look back on it, it seems to me as if I had been living here like a poor woman —just from hand to mouth. I have existed merely to perform tricks for you, Torvald. But you would have it so. You and papa have committed a great sin against me. It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life.
Helmer: How unreasonable and how ungrateful you are, Nora! Have you not been happy here?
Nora: No, I have never been happy. I thought I was, but it has never really been so.
Helmer: Not — not happy!
Nora: No, only merry. And you have always been so kind to me. But our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa's doll-child;and here the children have been my dolls. I thought it great fun when you played with me, just as they thought it great fun when I played with them. That is what our marriage has been Torvald.
Helmer: There is some truth in what you say — exaggerated and strained as your view of it is. But for the future it shall be different. Playtime shall be over, and lesson-time shall begin.
Nora: Whose lessons? Mine , or the children's?
Helmer: Both yours and the children's my darling Nora.
Nora: Alas, Torvald, you are not the man to educate me into being a proper wife for you.
Helmer: And you can say that!
Nora: And I — how am I fitted to bring up the children?
Helmer: Nora!
Nora: Didn't you say so yourself a little while ago — that you dare not trust me to bring them up?
Helmer: In a moment of anger! Why do you pay any heed to that?
Nora: Indeed, you were perfectly right. I am not fit for the task. There is another task I must undertake first. I must try and educate myself— you are not the man to help me in that.
I must do that for myself. And that is why I am going to leave you now.
Helmer: (springing up) What do you say?
Nora: I must stand quite lone, if I am to understand myself and everything about me.lt is for that reason that I cannot remain with you any longer.
Helmer: Nora, Nora!
Nora: I am going away from now, at once. I am sure Christine will take me in for the night —
Helmer: You are out of your mind! I won't allow it! I forbid you!
Nora: It is no use forbidding me anything any longer. I will take with me what belongs to myself. I will take nothing from you, either now or later.
Helmer: What sort of madness is this!
Nora: Tomorrow I shall go home — I mean, to my old home. It will be easiest for me to find something to do there. Helmer: You blind, foolish woman!

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Africans are undoubtedly a very enduring race and have the capacity to utilize the available natural resources for the betterment of life. The biggest challenge however, is to identify ways and means of creating an environment that is likely to encourage development in Africa.
Perhaps the greatest strategy would be to develop political structures and government institutions that have the capacity to formulate and implement genuine poverty alleviation strategies. Administrative arrangements that no longer serve our needs should be overhauled or discarded altogether. Governments should foster exploitation and management of natural resources by providing an enabling environment. Having stable governments may not be effective if we don’t fight corruption. We should ensure that leaders and government agents become answerable to the taxpayers. The public should be educated on the ills of corruption. Those who have stolen public funds must be made to return it or face the full force of the law. Again, people known to have stashed money in foreign banks should be forced to repatriate that money so as to improve cash flow in our economies.
Apart from this, African countries must find a way of solving their internal conflicts without involving the international community; after all, we are all brothers with a common cause. The need to unite and exist as unitary states should be stressed as this overrides clan and tribal rights or sentiments that fuel animosity. The African union should be strengthened to enable it to arbitrate intra and inter – states disputes. The resulting peace will provide a suitable environment for economic growth and set us on the road to recovery and prosperity.
Another solution would be to develop rural –based economies since the bulk of our population lives in the rural areas. Industries that process farm produce and those that manufacture farm inputs, machinery and implements should be located in rural areas. Similarly, mining concerns should establish processing plants near mines. Such industries will naturally recruit manpower from the locality involved and consequently reduce the incidence of rural – urban migration. Setting up industries in the rural areas will necessitate development of infrastructure, which will open up the rural areas for business. This will further encourage agricultural expansion and increase food production to counter perennial
food shortages in Africa. For instance, development of dairy and beef processing industry in the rural areas will encourage development of sustainable livestock keeping and probably bring to an end the loss of cattle to drought. A rural based economy will basically raise the income of the rural people and bridge the disparity between the rich and the poor.
We could also introduce appropriate technology in exploitation of natural resources and in wealth creation. Since imported technologies are expensive to maintain, Africans should tap the local expertise to develop technologies appropriate to our needs. Home – grown technology should enable us alleviate Africans food insecurity for utilizing river and lake water for irrigation and by harvesting wind and solar energy.
Lastly, our regional economic units such as ECOWAS, SADC and EAC should be transformed into common markets by removing unnecessary tariffs on goods at various entry points so as to realize the benefits of a common market.
The people of Africa should continually seek a better life. We have the resources; the manpower and the capacity to make things move.
a) From paragraph 1, what is the author’s opinion of Africans?
b) What should African countries do to fight corruption?
c) Explain how Africans can open up rural areas
d) We have the resources; the manpower and the capacity to make things move.
(Rewrite adding a question tag)
e) Using information in the passage, summarize the ways of fostering development in African countries in not more than 50 words.

Read the oral narrative below and answer the questions that follow.
There was once only one wise being in all the world, and that was Kwaku Ananse, the spider .But Kwaku Ananse wished to keep all this wisdom to himself.
One day, bored with having to stay and guard his wisdom all day, Kwaku Ananse decided to store it away and hide it in a safe place. So he called his wife, Aso, and asked her to make him a big pot into which he could put all his wisdom.
Aso went down to the riverbank and collected clay .She carefully made a big pot - a great pot with a narrow opening at the top so it could be easily sealed. Then she put the pot out in the sun to bake, and with the remainder of the clay, fashioned a stopper.
When the pot was finished, Aso took it to her husband, who, after making sure that there were no cracks in it, gathered together all his wisdom and pushed it well down into the pot .He covered it with some cocoa-yam leaves, then put in the stopper and tied it on with some strong twine
Now Kwaku Ananse had decided to hide the pot way up in the branches of a huge, silk-cotton tree that grew some distance away in the forest .It was over three metres wide, and the spikes on its trunk would stop all but the most intrepid spiders from climbing it.
Carrying the pot in front of him, he made his way through the forest, followed – unbeknown - by his small son, Ntikuma. At last he reached the great tree and started to attempt to climb it. He hung the pot by a rope around his neck, with the stopper just below his nose so he could make quite sure it did not tip over.
Alas, try as he would ,KwakuAnanse could not climb the tree ,for the pot kept getting in the way of his arms and he found he was unable to grip the trunk .He tried ,and tried, and tried, but with no success.
He grew hot and sticky and started to swear angrily.
Now, Ntikuma was watching his father from behind a tree, puzzled by his curious antics. At last, when Kwaku Ananse’s swearing grew really bad, he could stand it no longer and came up to his father timidly.
“Surely my father”, he said, “If you wish to take that pot up the tree you should tie it to your back, not your front. Then your hands would be free.”
Ananse was furious. Here was his small son teaching him a lesson – a lesson which he realized was only too true. Shaking with anger and exhaustion, he lifted the pot intending to take it off and chastise his son .His hands were slippery with sweat and the great pot was heavy. It slipped through his fingers and crashed to the ground. The pot burst open and the contents were scattered far and wide .There was a storm coming, and the wind swept through the forest, lifting the wisdom and carrying it on its way. The rain poured down and swept the wisdom into the steams, which carried it into the sea .Thus wisdom spread throughout the world.
(a) Giving a reason, identify the sub-genre of the above narrative.
b)Why did Kwaku Ananse decide to hide his wisdom?
c)How did Ananse make sure that his wisdom was safe in the pot ?
d)Why was it difficult for Ananse to climb the tree with the pot?
