Solution
the reference to Okeke's 'bright future' in Port-Harcourt can be described as being
A
sarcastic
B
true
C
untrue
D
irrelevant
E
impossible
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The phrase "had given up of his own free will a bright future to return to his people" is ironic because it suggests that Roof had promising prospects in Port-Harcourt as a bicycle repairer’s apprentice. However, the reality is that being a bicycle repairer is not considered a "bright future," which makes the statement sarcastic. The writer subtly mocks the idea that Roof sacrificed something great, implying that his prospects in the city were not as impressive as the phrase suggests.

A
it consists of two opposite poles - the north and south poles
B
the earth's magnetic field has a south pole near the geographical north pole and a north pole near the geographical south pole

Verified Correct Answer: Option E
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
A magnet is similar to a bipolar-charged system in that it has two distinct poles: a north pole and a south pole. Like a bipolar-charged system, which has positive and negative charges, a magnet exhibits opposite magnetic forces. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet, while like poles repel each other.

D
all of the above
E
A and B only
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Temperature: Measures how hot or cold something is based on the average movement of its particles, while Heat: The energy that moves between objects due to temperature differences. Different materials do require different amounts of heat to cause a given change in temperature, which is related to their specific heat capacities.

Heat lost = heat gained
moCo\(\theta\)o = mwCw\(\theta\)w
100 x Co x (25 - 9) = 150 x Cw x (15 - 9)
\(\frac{C_w}{C_w}\) = 0.56
