Correct Answer: B. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa

Correct Answer: (d) Dawn and Twilight

Correct Answer: (c) Availability of raw materials

Correct Answer: B. they shall be called the sons of God

Explanation

The supernatural looms large over the people of Owu and keeps the entire Kingdom under its influence. It is the combined acts of the gods and the blessing of Edumare, the Supreme God of the Yorubas that culminate in building and making Owu the safest of all Yoruba cities. But it is also the action or inaction of the same gods that leaves the same city in ruins. This is attested to by no less a goddess than Lawumi, the ancestral Queen mother and goddess of the Owus during her conversation with Anlugbua after the fall of the kingdom.

The fall of Owu does not come as a surprise to the gods, especially, Lawumi. The fall is even supernaturally contrived, aided and abetted. It is in fact the logical and deserved consequence of Owu's condemnable acts of omission or commission.

One such act is the Owu people's blatant show of arrogance not only to Lawumi but also to the Ile Ife, the cradle of the Yorubas. Drunk with prosperity the Owus throw caution to the wind and sack Apomu, Ife's commercial satellite town, and send people away into slavery. By so doing they break the sacred law of Sango, the Yoruba god of thunder, that no Yoruba man shall sell his compatriot into slavery. For this, Owu must be punished by the gods and it is with the consuming fire power of the Allied Forces. The pervasive influence of the supernatural is also seen in the unfailingly gloomy prediction of the Oracle. Through the priest, the Oracle warns that prince Dejumo must be killed in his cradle or else he will ultimately bring gloom and doom to the Kingdom. However, Erelu, the mother, ignores the warning and spares the life of the son. The ill-fated prince grows up and abducts lyunloye after the sack of Apomu. The aggrieved husband, an artist-turned-soldier, leads the Allied Forces to invade Owu and deStroy it even beyond Lawumi's wildest imagination.

But the supernatural influence is not over yet because the destruction of Owu does not leave Lawumi and even Ogun

Correct Answer: A. Rusting is a reduction process

Explanation

Let's analyze each option:

• A. Rusting is a reduction process

Rusting is the corrosion of iron, which involves iron reacting with oxygen and water to form hydrated iron(III) oxide.

* Iron (Fe) starts with an oxidation state of 0 and ends up as Fe³⁺ in rust. This increase in oxidation state means iron *loses electrons*, which is oxidation.

* Oxygen (O₂) starts with an oxidation state of 0 and ends up as O²⁻ in the oxide and water. This decrease in oxidation state means oxygen *gains electrons*, which is reduction.

* Therefore, rusting is an overall redox reaction, where iron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. Describing the entire process as a reduction process is incorrect, as the iron itself is oxidized.

• B. The rust formed is a reddish brown

Rust (hydrated iron(III) oxide, Fe₂O₃·nH₂O) is indeed characterized by its reddish-brown color. This statement is true.

• C. Rusting is similar to burning

Both rusting and burning (combustion) are oxidation reactions where a substance reacts with oxygen. Both are also exothermic (release heat). The main difference is the rate: burning is a rapid oxidation that produces light and significant heat, while rusting is a slow oxidation that releases heat over a long period without producing a flame or noticeable light. However, chemically, they share the fundamental characteristic of being oxidation processes. So, in this sense, they are similar. This statement is generally considered true.

• D. Rusting of iron takes place in the presence of oxygen and moisture

This is a fundamental condition for rusting. Both oxygen (from the air) and water (moisture) are required for iron to rust. If either is absent, rusting is significantly inhibited or prevented. This statement is true.

Based on the analysis, statement A is the one that is not true. Iron undergoes oxidation during rusting, not reduction. While reduction of oxygen occurs, classifying the entire rusting process as a reduction process is incorrect.

The final answer is A
