Correct Answer: D. membership of international organizations

Correct Answer: C. positive

Explanation

(i) Costly to run: The constitution operates a presidential system of government with comprehensive duplication of political functions, thereby making it too expensive and costly to run.

(ii) Abuse of impeachment clause: The impeachment clause as stipulated in the constitution could be abused by the lawmakers to victimise a political opponent.

(iii) Delay in implementation of programmes: Separation of powers could result in a delay in the implementation or carrying out of government programme. For example, the National Assembly can delay the approval of budget, ministerial and other appointments to be made by the president.

(iv) Refusal of the executive to honour the judgement of the supreme court: the executive can refuse to honour the judgement of the supreme court because of the sovereign immunity it has.

(v) Activities in government: Government activities could be brought to a standstill because of problems between the executive and legislative arms of government, especially when the ruling party does not have a majority seat in parliament.

(vi) Over- concentration of powers: Some critics have argued that the Executive president as both Head of State and Government has excessive powers concentrated in him, and this creates room for abuse of powers.

Explanation

(a) St. Paul's letter to Philemon is an appeal to forgive his erstwhile slave, Onesimus and take him back. Onesimus had wronged his master and escaped. In his self imposed exile, he had come in contact with Paul (imprisoned in Rome) and had become a convert. He became closely attached to Paul by rendering useful service to him. Paul, therefore, sent him back to his master with a letter of appeal with the love of Christ. Paul began by congratulating Philemon on his love and devotion in the service of God, pointing out his immense joy for Philemon's goodness to the saints in the Church.

Paul claimed that, although as his mentor and benefactor, he had a right to command, but for God's sake, he preferred to appeal to Philemon's good sense, and urged him to take back Onesimus, not so much as a slave, but more importantly, as a Christian brother. Onesimus had formerly, by his action, been useless to Philemon so that by becoming a convert, he might become more useful and worthy to be taken back.

Paul said that he would have preferred to retain Onesimus, but the decision must be taken by Philemon himself. If Onesimus had owed him anything or made him suffer any financial losses, he should charge Paul's account; he would surely pay it during his next visit. He concluded by asking Philemon to prepare a guest house for him in readiness for his next visit.

(b) Forgiveness is that mental attitude by which one overlooks an injury or wrong done to one by another, whether physical, mental or moral. Forgiveness restores broken relationship, especially when it is accompanied by forgetting the injury suffered. In fact, forgiveness is more or less divine (Only God can truly forgive); human beings merely pardon.

Correct Answer: C) gene

Explanation

The question is asking about the hereditary factor responsible for passing down traits from parents to offspring. The options given are organ, sex, gene, and ovum. The correct answer is option C: gene. Genes are segments of DNA that carry information for specific traits such as eye color or hair texture. They are located on chromosomes within the nucleus of cells. During reproduction, genes from both parents are combined to create a unique set of genes in the offspring. It is important to note that while organs and sex are important factors in reproduction, they are not the hereditary factors responsible for passing down traits. Organs such as the ovaries or testes are responsible for producing the sex cells (ova and sperm) that combine during fertilization to create the offspring, but it is the genes within these cells that determine the traits that are inherited. In summary, the hereditary factor responsible for passing down traits from parents to offspring is the gene. Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes and are responsible for coding specific traits. Ova and sperm are produced by organs and combine during fertilization, but it is the genes within these cells that carry the hereditary information.

Correct Answer: A. Daniel Defoe

Correct Answer: D. N0.50

Correct Answer: A. 50°

Explanation

Opp. angles in a cyclic quadrilateral always add up to 180°

∠P + ∠R & ∠Q + ∠S = 180

x + x+y = 180

2x + y = 180... i

2y - 30 + x = 180

2y + x = 180 + 30

x + 2y = 210 ... ii

Elimination method:

(2x + y = 180) * 1 --> 2x + y = 180

(x + 2y = 210) * 2 --> 2x + 4y = 420

Subtracting both equations

- 3y = - 240

y = 80°

using eqn i

2x + y = 180

2x + 80 = 180

2x = 100

x = 50°
