Explanation

Mrs. Borofosem is a major character in the play. She is the wife of Mr. Borofosem who belongs to the merchant class. She is a been-to', that is one who has been to England, albeit for only three months. She claim to be a leader of fashion and insists on speaking English, Although, her own English is, at best, sub-standard.

Mrs. Borofosem is a blind imitator of English ways of life. For her, everything African is barbaric, and that includes African dress, food, languages, customs and religion. For instance, she insists on kissing her husband openly (even though he is reluctant to do so) and demands that he call her Duckie as her neighbour, Mr.. Gosh in England, calls his wife. She even goes to the ridiculous length of encouraging her husband to smoke and spill the cigar ashes on the carpet in the belief that it preserves the carpet against moth.

There is no finesse in Mrs. Borofosem's affectation of English ways. She seems more to be putting on appearances. She insists on having European sweets with dinner. But in her unguarded moments she is nostalgic the African dishes she condemns openly. Her fixation on English manners is complete: her husband must sing as the English do even if he insists on singing in his own natural voice. I' m not an ass he says. Mrs. Borofosem's attitude to her servants apes what she sees as the attitude of the English people to their servants. For her, Nobody thinks of servants thinking in England.

Perhaps the most ridiculous thing about Mrs. Borofosem is her taking pride in using English, a language she speaks poorly. For a character like her who dotes on English, her grammatical slips are as ridiculous as her other affectations. All these create a picture of her as a pretentious, ridiculous and ludicrous character. Yet it is to Mrs. Borofosem's affection credit that towards the end of the play,. She makes an about-turn towards embracing her native language and customs.

Explanation

The question is asking why Solomon attempted to kill Jeroboam. The options are: A) Jeroboam was more popular than Solomon, B) Jeroboam was not faithful as the officer in charge of labour, C) Jeroboam did not report what was prophesied concerning him, and D) Jeroboam was a threat to the throne. The correct answer is D.

Solomon was the king of Israel, but Jeroboam was a threat to the throne. Jeroboam was a leader of the northern tribes of Israel and had the potential to start a rebellion against Solomon's rule. As a result, Solomon saw Jeroboam as a threat to his reign and attempted to eliminate him. This shows that kings in the Bible often faced challenges to their authority and had to take drastic measures to maintain their power.

It is important to note that violence is not an acceptable solution to political problems, and the Bible often teaches the importance of peaceful resolution of conflicts. Additionally, the story of Solomon and Jeroboam highlights the dangers of jealousy and the negative consequences that can result from envy.

In conclusion, Solomon attempted to kill Jeroboam because he saw him as a threat to his reign. This serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of jealousy and the importance of peaceful conflict resolution.

Correct Answer: B. Ethane

Explanation

(a) Heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of a body by 1K. The unit is JK\(^{-1}\)

(b) Effects of heat on a substance are:

(i) Increase in temperature.

(ii) Change of state.

(iii) Change in colour .

(iv) Change in electrical resistance, etc.

(c) To remove a tightly fitted glass cork from a reagent bottle, warm the bottle neck using warm cloth to make the glass bottle to expand creating space for easy removal of the cork.

(d)(i) Pt = MC\(\Delta \theta\)

\(\Delta \theta = \frac{pt}{Mc} = \frac{1200 \times 3 \times 60}{0.8 \times 4000}\) =67.5°

= final temp \(\theta\) = 67.5 + 30° = 97.5°C

(ii) Containers with tight-fitted lids are not suitable because with increase in temperature the steam molecules from the container are confined in the container, thereby increasing the rate of collission of the steam with the walls of the container, hence in pressure inside the container. Thus the high pressure can burst the tightly-fitted container and the hot content released.

(iii) The observed dent on the container is due to the condensation of the steam in the container which-will lead to a decrease in pressure in the greater container making the atmospheric pressure greater than the pressure in the container.
