No correction required Reading passage for questions 86-90 The earth’s crust averages 16 miles thick and rests and what is called the mantle. This layer, about 750 miles thick is belief to be semi-viscous or plastic nature rather than solid. Thus, both continental and oceanic areas could be said float on the mantle, with continental areas pushing deeper into the mantle than do oceanic areas where the crust is thinner. Constant erosion moves dirt and rock into ocean areas where they settle. These areas gradually sink deeper into the mantle. Eventually creating pressure that thrust new land up forms surrounding areas. Mountains formed by this process are made of sedimentary rock and are called folded or domes. Earthquakes occur where the crust shifts or creaks apart sharply under pressure; the resulting breaks or fissures are called fault mountains created by these faults fault blocks. On weak spot on the earth’s crust- generally near sea coasts-gases and molten rock under tremendous pressure break through to form conical shaped mountains. These we know as volcanic. No sooner are new mountains and flat lands created by pressure than water, ice, and wind begin to wear them away thus creating new valleys, river courses and coastlines. 86.

Those who have been following the arguments for or against the deregulation of the oil industry in Nigeria may have got the impression that deregulation connotes or indifference on the part of the government. But there is nothing so far from official quarters to suggest that deregulation will cause the government to relinquish its control of oil industry because the absence of oil industry does not mean it will surrender all its rights to entrepreneurs who may want to participate in the industry. Yet the opposition express so far against deregulation stems from fear that government may leave Nigerians at the mercy of heartless cartel who will command height of the oil industry and cause the pump price of oil to rise above the means of most Nigerians. As a result of such fears, many Nigerians have become resentful in deregulation and, in fact the Nigerian labour Congress [NLC] has threatened to deregulate the government if it should go ahead with the deregulation plan. But Nigerians have not fared any better with the economy totally in the government control. Until recently, the most important sectors of the economy were in hands of the government, Today the deregulation of some of these sectors has broken its monopoly and introduce healthy competition to make things a little easier for Nigerians. A good example is the stifling monopoly of the Nigerian airways. Today, the traveller is king at the Nigerian airports as oppose to the air travels used to be under Nigeria airways monopoly. Before, it was almost easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than travellers to board a plane. Following from this, the apostle of deregulation rightly heap all the blames for the problems associated with the petroleum products distribution in this county squarely on the government. Which owns all the refineries and which sells petroleum product to its consumers through its agency, the Nigerian National Corporation [NNPC]. In the same way, the government argues that if the government NNPC monopoly were broken with the introduction of entrepreneurs to the refining and sale of petroleum product in the country, the Nigerian population will be all better for it. It stands to reason that ones the government continuous to fix maximum prices for petroleum product in the country, the deregulation of the oil sector should bring some relief to the people by ensuring that wastage, corruption and inefficiency are reduced to the minimum. Consumers will also have the last laugh because competition will result prices. This appears to be the sense in the deregulation. 1. Which of these correctly summarises the arguments adduced by the advocates of deregulation? A. Deregulating the economy will make the NNPC more efficient and less wasteful B. The government should deregulate every aspect of the Nigerian economy C. Competition in the oil industry will be D. Completion should be allowed in the production and distribution of petroleum products 2. Which of the following conclusions can be reached from the passage? A.

Making a case for deregulations. C. Highlighting the dangers of deregulations D. The problems of the NNPC 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The Nigerian labour congress has been able to prevent the Government from deregulating the economy B. The introduction of entrepreneurs to the oil industry will make life easy only for a few Nigerians C. The opposition to the deregulation of the oil industry is not unanimous D. A better life for all Nigerians is conditional upon the deregulation of the economy. 5. The writer seems to suggest that_____ A. Nigerians do not understand the sense in deregulations B. The anxiety cause by the deregulation question is groundless C. A deregulated economy will the Government to be indifferent to the flight of ordinary Nigerians D. Only a heartless cartel will benefit by the deregulation of the oil industry The passage has gap numbered 6 to 10. Choose the most appropriate option for each gap from the options provided.

The air we breathe, the water we drink, the seas we fish in, the soils we farm, the forest, animals and plants which surround us are in danger. More and more gases and rubbish escape from our factories. Rubbish, oil spillage and detergents damage our rivers and seas. The loss of forests results in soil erosion and also endangers wildlife. The richer countries of the world are mainly responsible for industrial pollution. This is where most of the commercial energy is consumed. In developing countries, poverty causes people to overgraze grasslands and to cut down trees for timber building, furniture and fuel. They are also destroyed to provide land on which to graze animals and build new villages and towns. But trees are needed to protect the land from heavy down pour of rain and their roots help hold the soil together. In our forests, there may be plants and animals which could help in the discovery of new medicines or crops. To rescue and conserve our beautiful world, we must act cooperatively. Individuals, communities, nations and international associations, all have a responsibility. By learning to protect the natural environment, we can manage the earth’s resources for generations to come. 1 The risk referred to in the passage is A. sociologically produced B. environmentally induced C. industrially produced D. man-made. 2 According to the passage, the size of the forest depleted annually is A. minimal B. colossal C. infinitesimal D. infinite. 3.

Ifa young person performs oneof suchactions then heor she has committed acrime. Delinquencyis oneof several status offences–offences that can be committed only by people in particular stations of life as determined by age, profession or a person’s role in society. For young people such offences include drinking, driving and smoking under age. Usually they are offences only to the extent that they help preserve some of the good things of life for the exclusive enjoyment of the adult world. Delinquency is therefore a weapon forged in adult minds and directed by adult hands against young people. It is born out ofenvy, adult pride and intolerance. Ifthe world changedovernight and the responsibility to make and enforce laws fell on juvenile shoulders, the adults should expect a raw deal inreturn. Delinquency would then certainly refer only to many of the adult actions now freely committed by them. 11 The writer of the passage believes that delinquency laws are A only fit for young people B not relevant to human society C unfair to the juveniles D very fair to the adult world. 12 In the view of the writer drinking under age is an offence because A. adults do not want the juveniles to get drunk B. adults have a dutyto protect young persons C adults want to have all the drinks to themselves UNIBEN2015- 2019 POST UTME PAST QUESTION AND ANSWER (ART) D. drunken juveniles can cause disorder in the society. 13 Status offences are A. very fair to the adult world.

Standard English refers to the authoritative and correct use ofthe language, the medium of expression for government andeducation. Its oppositee is a dialectal variant of the language, that is, accepted and recognized words, expressions and structures peculiar to a smaller group of language users who are generally set a part from standard usage by cultural group or geographical region. For example, Nigerian, American, Irish and British English differ from one anotherr in many respects and each is identifiable, yet in every case the standard (formal) variety approaches a single and hypothetical classification known as International English. As one moves towards informality and away from the observance of strict rules, emphasis falls on the difference between dialects. In addition to American English being distinguishable from British English, it is also true that British English is not uniform within the United Kingdom. The level of formality is determined by education and aspiration, while dialects vary from region to region. 21 One characteristic of a dialect as mentioned in the passage is its A. possession of variants B. informality C. distinction fromBritish English D. restricted area of usage 22.

The same process, accelerated by human mismanagement, has become one of the most vicious and destructive forces that have ever been released by man. ‘Geological erosion’or ‘denudation’ is an early and important process in soil formation, whereby the original rock material is continuously broken down and sorted by wind and water until it becomes suitable for colonization by plants. Plants, by the binding effects of their roots, by the protection they afford against rain and wind and by the fertility they impart to the soil, bring denudation almost to a stand still. Nevertheless, some slight denudation is always occurring. As each superficial film of p lant-covered soil becomes exhausted it is removed by rain or wind, to be deposited mainly in the rivers and sea, and a corresponding thin layer of soil forms by slow weathering of the UNIBEN2015- 2019 POST UTME PAST QUESTION AND ANSWER (ART) underlying rock. The depth is sometimes only a few inches, occasionally several feet deep, but withinit lies the whole capacity of the earth to produce life. Below that thin layer comprising the delicate organism known as soil is a planet as lifeless as the moon. 31 ‘Geological erosion’ means the same as A. soil erosion B. natural erosion C. erosion by man D. all of the above 32 Denudation means A. is an important process in soil formation B. destroys the surfaceof the earth C. results from man’s reduction of soil fertility D. will bring national extinction 33 One important function of plants is to: A. denude the soil B. bind and fertilize the soil C. erode the soil to smoothness D. look pretty 34 The layer of soil is generally A. betweena few inches and a fewfeet deep.

When, in thec ourse of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the bands that have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of humanity requires that they declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all human beings are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain in all enable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We affirm also that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organising its power in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to secure their safety and happiness.

We knew early in life that the atmosphere in our home was different from that in many other homes where husbands and wives quarrel and where there was drunkenness, laziness or indifference – things we never saw in our family. We also knew that our father was an uncommon man. Whenever my mother was away, my father could and did do all the household jobs. We lived in this way in a community in which house work was regarded as being beneath male dignity. In our family, however, boys did girls’ work and my father did it with us. We had to get water at the public tap nearly a kilometre away from our house and make the trek back with water tins balanced on our heads. All the children in the neighbourhood knew we did women’s work, and I can still hear their derisive laughter. We did our jobs doggedly because our parents expected it of us. Out of choice, our father did everything we did, including fetching water on occasion, and commanded us by sheer force of his example. 51.

Creoles, according to the most general a c c o u n t , a r i s e w h e n p i d g i n l a n g u a g e b e c o m e s the native language of a new generation of children. One way this can come about is when a man and woman who speak different languages marry, both know apidgin, and neither learns the other’slanguage. The pidgin then becomes the shared home language and becomes the mother tongue of the children. A setting in which this has happened occurred during the bleakest days of slavery in the Western hemisphere, when efforts were made to separate African slaves with the same native language in order to forestall insurrections. Only pidgin languages were availableas common languages and they became the basis for the mother tongue of new generations. Once a pidgin language becomes a mother tongue, it must support all the interactive needs of its speakers, since they have no other language to fall back on. A creole becomes simpler (in the sense of more regular) and expands its grammatical machinery, as well as stabilizing and expanding its lexicon. Ifa creole is in touch with its lexifier language, it may ‘decreolize’ and develop varieties increasingly like the lexifier language. If the less decreolized varieties fall out of use, the decreolized remnants of the old creole may be seen simply as substandard dialects of the lexifier language. As we will see, this has been proposed as the origin for the US Vernacular Black English. 61. Creoles may be defined as: (A) a pidgin spokenbyWest African slaves, (B( a pidgin that has acquired native speakers, (C) a native language of a new generation of children, (D) the mother tongue of children born in an inter-ethn 62.

Underlying any relationship between Haiti and Africa is the fact that the population of that country originated from Africa to a far greater extent than on other Caribbean Islands; 90%of the Haitians are full-b looded Negroes, the rest mulattoes. The total eradication of the white element was the consequence of a particular political and economic situation of the island Saint -Domingue, which was the name of Haiti under French colonization. Other than on the other Caribbean islands where the early arrival of European settlers resulted in a development of a white indigenous population, Saint-Domingue remained untouched until 1997, when the peace treaty of Riswyck ended the dispute between France and Spain over the ownership of this island. At that time it had already been proved that the production of sugar was the most profitable industry in this area particularly if the estates were large enough and labour costs could be kept low by extensive use of slave labour, which was brought over from Africa. So the new settlers of Saint-Domingue belonged to two groups greatly contrasted in social condition and number. On the one side, there was a small group of French noblemen, owners of immense sugar estates maintaining in Saint-Domingue the privileges which they had lost in France under Louis XIV,on the other side there were the African slaves living in miserable conditions but conscious that they out numbered their masters by hundreds of thousands. These contradictions within the society led to the outbreak of the slave revolt in 1792, which differed from other revolts in that area in that it was successful, and in 1804after many ups and downs the victorious slaves of Saint- Domingue proclaimed a new state, named Haiti. Most of the white landlords had fled the island during the hostilities and the few remaining ones were killed after independence. 71.

The French settlers preferred to live in Saint- Domingue because A. Louis XIV allowed them their usual privileges there B. the African slaves there lived in miserable conditions C.they could enjoy the rights they had lost in France D. they were not patriotic 74 The clause, ‘which differed from other revolts in that area in that it was successful,’ suggests that A. there were many successful slave revolts B. slave revolts were not unusual then in the Caribbean C. the islands of the Caribbean are ruled by rebel slaves D. the slaves in Saint-Domingue differed with slaves on other islands 75.Choose the most appropriate option nearest in meaning to the italicized or Bold word/phrase.
