PART B
COMPREHENSION
[30 marks]

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions which follow.
   Nobody wanted Ananse to succeed in drinking the cup of hot water and win, Adiefe, the Chief’s beautiful daughter.
   Ananse grabbed the cup of hot water, bowed as gracefully as possible and smiled confidently. He lifted the cup and said, slowly and calmly. „Nana,
   look ……! ‟ Nana Apo barked, „yes, it’s hot. Drink it right now! ‟ But Ananse kept a cool head. Then, in the full glare of all present, he shook the cup vigorously for some time in order to cool its content. After this, he began to sip the now lukewarm water as if it was still hot. Between the sips, the pain he seemed to be going through made him frown. He shut the left eye and his right eye shone brightly. He deliberately let his left hand drop loosely by his side.
   Nana Apo smiled. Queen Amola grinned. Adiefe giggled – all in happy anticipation of Ananse’s failure.
   Suddenly, Ananse began to drink the warm water more quickly and noisily. Soon, all was gone. He turned the cup upside down towards Nana and, indeed, there was not a single drop in it. Lo and behold, Kweku
   Ananse, the notorious trickster, had succeeded where all others had failed. There was complete silence. Even the wind seemed to have stopped
   blowing. The impossible had happened and people’s expectation that Kweku Ananse would lose the contest had failed. Eventually, Kweku Ananse’s victory had won him the hand of pretty Princess, Adiefe.
   Nana Apo and Queen Amola, with great reluctance, led their daughter, Adiefe, and handed her over to victorious Kweku Ananse.

(a) What was the attitude of the people present before the contest?
(b) Why do you think Ananse shook the cup?
