Grammar & Contextual Explanation
28,Ireduwa Street,
Irepodun,
Ogun State.
29th March, 2019.
Dear Tunmise,
It's a pleasure writing to you once again. I hope you are doing great over there in Kaduna? I have missed you and I Know tnat the feeling is mutual. Anyway, as you already know that I hold the position of the Library Prefect in my school, I wish to share my experiences with you.
As you already know that I love reading, I was made the Library Prefect upon reaching SS3 class. As the Library Prefect, It is my duty to assist the Librarian when necessary. My duties include handling the borrowing and returning of books in the school library. I ensure that all the books in the library are accounted for. I make sure that every borrowed book is well documented and the names and classes of the borrowers are taken down. Doing this daily has helped me to be more accountable, I pay attention to details as a result of this role.
One of my duties is to maintain orderliness in the library. Whenever students are in the library seeking for books to read, ensure it is done in an orderly manner. Some students, especially the JSS One students have no idea how the books are arranged on each shelf, despite the indications on them. What I do in such situations is to lead them to the appropriate section, while advising them on the type of books to read.
When students are done reading, I ensure that the shelves are well-arranged and the library tidy always. I do this with the help of the school librarian, she advises from her wealth of experience. Doing this also made me more responsible as I learnt that responsibility comes from being given a role of leadership.
I wish i could keep on writing but I have to stop here. I hope you will share your own experiences with me as the Labour Prefect soon. My regards to your parents and siblings.
Yours sincerely,
Folarin.

Reading Comprehension, Summary & Composition
Solution
Write an article suitable for publication in a national newspaper on the growing incidence of drug abuse among the youth, stating the causes and suggesting ways it can be curbed.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
DRUG ABUSE AMONG THE YOUTH
Drug abuse is the misuse or over-dependence on drugs or substances. Abuse of drug is more common among youths all over the world. Some of the narcotics and psychotropic drugs include : cannabis, cocaine, heroine, codeine, tramadol and so on. Those who abuse these drugs depend on them and cannot function optimally except they take them.
Drug abuse can be caused by a number of mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorders. These disorders may cause people to resort to drugs to manage the symptoms. When these drugs are used, there is a momentary escape from their problems until a relapse occurs.
Peer influence is also one of the leading causes of drug abuse among youths. When a young person sees his or her peers taking something and then feeling better afterwards, such youth will likely engage in such. It is easier for youths to be influenced by friends because they want to experiment and impress until it becomes an addiction they are unable to break free from.
Another cause of drug abuse is unstable family background. A young person who lacks family attention are more likely to abuse drugs. When there is no parent-child relationship, substance abuse is most likely inevitable and such children usually find solace in drug misuse. Also, children whose parents abuse drugs are likely to follow suit as they won't see it as wrong.
In order for drug abuse to be curbed to its barest minimum, youths have to be educated on the negative ettects of abusing drugs especially for those who haven't engaged in it already. The country's drug laws should be reviewed in earnest so as to create suitable penalties for offenders. This should be put in place after proper enlightenment of citizens. Doing this will curb drug abuse among the youths to a large percentage.
