Correct Answer: D) The fat rich women of Samaria who oppress the poor

Explanation

The phrase 'you cows of Bashan' is mentioned in the Bible and it refers to a specific group of people. The question is asking us to identify who this group of people is. We have four options to choose from. Option A tells us that 'you cows of Bashan' refers to cows in the land of Bashan. This option is incorrect as the phrase is not referring to actual cows. Option B states that the phrase refers to the fat and greedy men of Israel who oppress the priests. This option is also incorrect as the phrase is not referring to men only, but to a group of people. Option C suggests that 'you cows of Bashan' refers to the fat and greedy women of Israel who oppress the poor. This option is also incorrect.

Option D is the correct answer. It tells us that 'you cows of Bashan' refers to the fat rich women of Samaria who oppress the poor. This option correctly identifies the group of people that the phrase is referring to. The phrase is used in Amos 4:1 where the prophet Amos is rebuking the wealthy women of Samaria for oppressing the poor and needy.

It is important to note that the phrase 'you cows of Bashan' is a metaphor and is not meant to be taken literally. The use of the metaphor is meant to emphasize the extravagance and excess of the wealthy women of Samaria.

In conclusion, the correct answer to the question is option D, which tells us that the phrase 'you cows of Bashan' refers to the fat rich women of Samaria who oppress the poor.

Correct Answer: C. \(\frac{25}{9} p^2r\)

Explanation

p = \(\frac{3}{5} \sqrt{\frac{q}{r}}; \frac{5p}{3} = \sqrt{\frac{q}{r}}\)

= (\(\frac{5}{3}p\))²

= \(\frac{q}{r}\)

= \(\frac{25p^2}{9} = \frac{q}{r}\)

q = \(\frac{25}{9} p^2 r\)

Dear Sir,

POOR STATE OF SCHOOLS IN AYOBO

I am writing this letter to you to express my disappointment on the poor state f schools in Ayobo area in Alimosho Local Government of Lagos State.

Many of these schools that have suffered neglect for many years now are known to have produced many great people and influential personalities who are now making waves in many walks of life in this country. It is quite disheartening that the neglect suffered by these schools has greatly affected the structures and facilities in the schools. In years past when these schools had good and adequate physical structures, people knew the kind of products that came out and the fame they brought to our local government area.

Apart from the dilapidated state of the structures and facilities, many parents have sent their children to private schools where there are adequate infrastructure and well-trained teachers who they believe can give their children quality education. For this reason, government schools in this local government have been experiencing exodus of students to the private schools, thereby leaving government schools scanty.

Some years ago, some of these schools performed excellently well in public examinations and extra-curricular activities, but things are no longer the same now due to lack of maintenance of the facilities, inadequate teachers and absence of teaching aids. Even some of the teachers employed in the schools at present do not have time for their students. They report to school at their convenient time and when they eventually come, they dictate notes to the students and go out to engage in other businesses.

It is unfortunate that all these have really diminished academic strength of those schools and whenever the results are released, about 75% of the students either fail or perform below standard.

Besides, the students that are frequently abandoned in the classrooms without teachers are often found roaming the streets, having formed different gangs that are inimical to their education and future life.

Sir, I am pleading on behalf of other people in this local government to take urgent actions to reverse the pathetic situation of schools here. We shall be anticipating a quick and positive response when this letter gets to you Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

(Signature)

Correct Answer: B. \(65^{\circ}\)

Explanation

Sum of interior angle in a hexagon = (6 - 2) x 180°

= 720°

\(\therefore\) 107° + 2x° + 150° + 95° + (2x - 15)° + 123° = 720°

460 + 4x = 720 \(\implies\) 4x = 720 - 460

4x = 260° \(\implies\) x = 65°

Correct Answer: D) Accounts receivable
