(a) Paul says that all men have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and it was for this reason that Jesus came into the world to restore man to his former status of union with God. It is, therefore, incumbent on man to maintain his former status of union with God. It was incumbent on man to believe and have faith in Jesus in order to become acceptable to God. This acceptance, without conditions, is what Paul termed Justification'. By being justified, our sins are passed over because of the blood shed by Jesus, so that all who believe, Jews and Gentiles alike, are redeemed. God's righteousness is therefore proven by this unconditional acceptance of erstwhile sinners.

(b) Fruits to be derived from the Concept of Justification by Faith leads to:

(i) peace with God;

(ii) sharing in the glory of God;

(iii) love of God;

(iv) expiation of sins through the blood of Jesus;

(v) freedom from the wrath of God;

(vi) reconciliation with God;

(vii) salvation / eternal life through the life of Christ;

(viii) salvation by grace not by self-effort or merit.

The siege lasted for nineteen months and the resultant 'amine forced the king to attempt to escape from the doomed city by night. He was overtaken, captured and sentenced. His sons were executed before his very eyes and was blinded and taken in fetters to Babylon. Later, Nebusaradan (the captain of the body guard or a servant of the king of Babylon) came to Jerusalem with instruction to destroy the city. He burnt the temple, the king's house and every great house. The wall round Jerusalem was also broken down. Many more Israelites were taken to Babylon leaving only the poorest of the land to be vine dressers and ploughmen. The last traces of the splendour of Solomon were also taken as booty to Babylon

An upward movement along the supply curve indicates an Increase in quantity supplied of a commodity due to rise in its price, while a downward movement means a decrease in quantity supplied due to fall in prices

Explanation

(a) \(\frac{1}{2}\log_{10} 25 - 2\log_{10} 3 + \log_{10} 18\)

= \(\log_{10} (25^{\frac{1}{2}}) - \log_{10} (3^{2}) + \log_{10} 18\)

= \(\log_{10} (\frac{5 \times 18}{9})\)

= \(\log_{10} 10\)

= 1

(b) \(123_{y} = (1 \times y^{2}) + (2 \times y^{1}) + (3 \times y^{0})\)

\(y^{2} + 2y + 3 = 83\)

\(y^{2} + 2y + 3 - 83 = 0 \implies y^{2} + 2y - 80 = 0\)

Equation : \(y^{2} + 2y - 80 = 0\)

\(y^{2} - 8y + 10y - 80 = 0\)

\(y(y - 8) + 10(y - 8) = 0\)

\((y + 10)(y - 8) = 0 \implies y = -10 ; 8\)

y = 8 since y cannot be negative.

(c) \(\frac{9^{2x - 3}}{3^{x + 3}} = 1\)

\(\implies 9^{2x - 3} = 3^{x + 3}\)

\((3^{2})^{2x - 3} = 3^{x + 3}\)

\(3^{4x - 6} = 3^{x + 3}\)

\(\implies 4x - 6 = x + 3\)

\(4x - x = 3 + 6 \implies 3x = 9\)

\(x = 3\)

Correct Answer: D. peace for societal progress and development
