6. Carefully read the following passage and respond to the questions.

Our earth is in jeopardy. Our environment is under jeopardy. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the oceans we fish in, and the soils we farm, as well as the trees, animals, and plants that surround us, are all under threat.

Acid rain, the greenhouse effect, global warming, ozone layer holes, desertification, and industrial pollution are some of the new terminology and terminologies used to characterize these issues. Our surroundings are changing. Our factories are emitting an increasing amount of emissions and garbage.

Our rivers and seas are harmed by garbage, oil silages, and detergents. Forests provide us with timber and paper, but their decline causes soil erosion and puts species in peril.

Industrial pollution is primarily caused by the world’s wealthier nations. This is where the majority of commercial energy is generated. Poverty causes people in developing countries to alter their environment, such as overgrazing grassland, cutting down trees for new land and firewood, and farming poor soil for food.

Every year, an area of forest the size of Sierra Leone vanishes, according to the UN Environmental Protection Agency. Trees are felled for their wood, which is used for construction, furniture, paper, and fuel.

They’re also demolished to make room for livestock grazing and the construction of new villages and towns. However, trees serve a variety of other purposes. Trees shield the area from severe rains, and their roots aid in the stabilization of the soil.

Many living organisms can be found in forests. The Amazon rainforest is home to one-fifth of the world’s bird species. There may be plants and animals in our forests that can aid in the discovery of novel crop treatments.

We must work together to save and preserve our wonderful world. Individuals, communities, nations, and international organizations are all liable. We can manage the earth’s resources for future generations by learning to protect the natural environment.

(a) What is the source of the risk mentioned in the passage?
(b) It can be gathered from the passage that people in underdeveloped countries
(b) According to the passage, the size of the forest is each year.
(d) Because of what does the author hold the richer countries liable for industrial pollution?
(e) The passage’s author’s message is about the necessity for what?

SECTION C – WAEC English Language Questions and Answers
(SUMMARY) [30 MARKS]
You are advised to spend about 50 minutes on this section.

Read the passage attentively and respond to the questions that follow.
You can’t expect to get through life without encountering difficulties. Difficulties, perplexities, and frustrations are unavoidable aspects of life.

Accepting the inevitability of problems will allow you to confront them with a strong mindset rather than believing that you are a victim who has been picked out by fate.

When faced with an issue, the first step is to gather all essential information in order to become familiar with the facts of the case.

Then, in black and white, write down exactly what the problem is. This provides you with something concrete to work with. The issue has been evaluated, and you now have something concrete to work with.

Next, give the subject some real thought, being careful not to let it devolve into anxiety, as concern does nothing. Aim for clear, detached thinking, and approach the topic as if it were a friend’s concern rather than your own. Examine it from all sides and from the perspectives of all those involved.

If you only think about yourself, you’re setting yourself up for failure. The single most crucial goal of it all is to find all feasible answers to the problem.

After you’ve thoroughly analyzed the situation, consider all of the various remedies or courses of action. Knowing that you did this can prevent you from having regrets later on, when you can remember yourself that you considered all options and chose what looked to be the best. Next, discard any recommended solutions that are deemed unfeasible after further consideration.

You’ll notice that your options have been reduced to two or three options. It’s usually a good idea to get out into the fresh air at this point. Take a walk or a ride somewhere with a lot of space between you and the horizon. Review the problem again there, in the open. It will appear to be less intimidating.

Consider how the challenge will appear in ten years, or even one! This new perspective will help you make a final decision when you consider the remaining options and pick which one to pursue before returning home. Let your decision be the last thing on your mind as you go to sleep that night. If you still think it’s the finest one to take in the morning, go ahead.

Consult a buddy who can provide excellent advise if you have one. Do this before you make a final decision so that you can profit from his perspective. Talking things over with someone else is usually beneficial.

It allows you to isolate the issue and determine which elements are most significant. Even if your friend doesn’t have any suggestions, a sympathetic ear can be helpful. Furthermore, when you describe the courses available to you to your friend, you will have a better understanding of them. Even as you speak, some will appear impossible.

Alternatively, one will appear to be the most appealing. Keep the time factor in mind when dealing with challenges. Although certain problems resolve themselves over time, and delaying techniques are thus the optimal course of action in these cases, most other problems become more complicated the longer they are left unsolved. As a result, you should deal with any issues as soon as they arise.

Overall, foresight and inventiveness combined with moderate foresight can prevent many issues from ever developing. Tact, intelligence, and appropriate behavior can also help you live a relatively trouble-free existence.

Summarize the steps to take when confronted with an issue in six sentences, one for each.

This section should take you roughly 50 minutes to complete.

5. Write a tale that concludes with the phrase “I had never felt so ashamed in my life.”

(5) I’ve never felt so ashamed and alone in my entire life. I believe it is past time to inform others that miscarriage is an issue that has been ignored for far too long….
It took me a few weeks to make the decision to tell my tale in this way. But I believe it is past time to educate others about miscarriage, which has been ignored for far too long. The sufferers were placed in a corner in utter quiet. In February of last year, I experienced a miscarriage. At around 7 p.m., I was riding the train home from work when I began to feel intense pains in my stomach, followed by the sensation that my trousers were wet. I was in a lot of pain. I took the first cab I saw to A&E, embarrassed, worried, and panicked about what was going on with my 5-week-old baby inside me.
I arrived and immediately realized it was too late. Still, I hoped it wasn’t the case. I went to the next available staff at A&E to tell them what had happened, and they ordered me to sit in a chair and wait for a nurse to call me in to see a doctor. My trousers were stained with blood, and my stomach still pained. I sobbed quietly in the corner where they’d placed me to wait. I waited for someone to call me for three hours. The agony was gone and the blood on my trousers was drying up by the time someone summoned me to take my bloods…. My baby was no longer with me. I felt embarrassed because I had made a mess on the chair. The nurse ordered me to return to where I was waiting before and wait for someone to contact me to see a doctor after they drew my blood and cannulated me. I sat down in the same chair again. I went to the bathroom and tried to clean myself up. I stared in the mirror and wondered what I had done wrong. Crying had made my eyes swollen. I tried to wipe up my underwear with a lot of tissue to suck up the blood that was flowing out of me. When I got out of the bathroom… I asked the nurse if I had been called, but she said no. I waited and waited until my fiancé arrived and took my hand in his. I proceeded to change my trousers after he graciously provided me a clean change of clothes. Never before in my life have I felt so humiliated and alone. After that incident, I became depressed. There are some things you wish you could erase from your memory. However, they are ingrained in your mind and emotions. Miscarriage is more than just the loss of one little life who will never meet its parents. Miscarriage, regrettably, can cause someone (the father’s mother) to lose their sanity and themselves. That is something I can attest to. It happened to me as well.
======================================

(2) The significance of encouraging pupils to develop healthy reading habits. Books are said to be your best friends for a reason. Reading is the best habit you can develop as you grow older because you become what you read. The books you read are your guide for the journey of life, and they play a vital role in your upbringing. Here are a few personality traits that are influenced significantly by a regular reading habit. Enhances Collaboration Books are the finest approach to learn new words in the English language that aren’t commonly used. Reading books will assist you in learning new terms and demonstrating how to use them in everyday situations. This will help you develop your personal vocabulary in the long run. Reading stories and articles written in that language will also help you comprehend the grammar of that language. Improved Comprehension Capacity Children who learn to read at a young age are better at interpreting situations and developing a sense of understanding than those who do not. They are capable of comprehending significant events and conducting a thorough analysis of the cause and effect scenario. Try reading aloud and taking small moves forward to improve your reading abilities. Don’t be too hard on yourself; reading should be enjoyable.

Knowledge is passed on There is no doubting that reading provides a person with information. Gaining information gives you confidence in the subject and piques your curiosity in learning more about it. School curriculums also provide a variety of engaging themes for cognitive development, so kids are interested in the subject from an early age. Aids Sleeping Reading before night is more effective at combating insomnia than using electronic devices, which has the opposite effect. Before going to bed, read a book to help you fall asleep naturally and to engage your brain in learning. Before going to bed, it is psychologically recommended that people think about wholesome things. A nice book read before night can do wonders for your mental health. Escape From the Real World Books allow a person unrestricted access to the world of fiction. Both the writers and the readers are allowed to choose their own topics and open the doors to a fictional world in their minds. Some works of fiction continue to be published book after book, and the fans never lose interest in the series. It’s because creative minds are powerhouses of thrilling entertainment, and we couldn’t agree more if we’d read any of those incredible works.
