SULIT SECTION C [25 marks] [Time suggested: 50 minutes] Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage. 1 It was twenty minutes after midnight and Rovers long, spine-chilling howls made me jump out of the bed. I shouted, What is it Rover? Whats up? The dog stopped howling and began to whine. I thought of various possibilities. A ghost? Boys, perhaps up to some mischief? That was more likely. I reached the door in four strides and flung it open. The stench and unmistakable sounds that greeted me were more frightening than any ghost. Something was burning! Leaping down the stone stairs, with the terrified dog at my heels, I tore the heavy door of the passage, grabbed the bell and swung it. Seconds later I was halfway up the stairs leading to the dormitories. A stream of boys collided with me, all rushing down the steps so that I had to grab the iron railing to prevent myself from falling. 5

I fought my way up. I grabbed Tommy, a prefect, by the shoulders and shouted Counted 10 the juniors? Theyre all out? Tommy replied, Counted eighteen only, Sir! The two Kimble brothers are missing! At once I said, Go down and line them up and send someone over to the heads house to phone the brigade! Yes, Sir, and Tommy was gone, leaving me alone on the stairs. The smoke was thickening and the glow beyond it spreading. What concerned me now was the safety of the two 15 Kimble brothers. Clasping a handkerchief to my face, I dashed into the senior dormitory. But here, I was checked. The adjacent junior dormitory was blazing end to end. I could not go further but I was unwilling to leave. I stood there, pausing a moment. Then somebody nudged me and shouted, Theyre out on the roof, Sir! ...Better go, Sir before the floor caves in! When I was at the quadrangle, I saw Tommy pointing on the roof. I could see two small 20 figures, peering down and right below them, some senior boys were carrying a tarpaulin. I realized that the Kimble brothers would never jump; they had to be pushed. So, I grabbed Ronnie, a senior boy, by the arm and said, The rope in the gym the one with the hook well have to get it! We ran across the quadrangle, pushing boys out of the way and soon, were back with the 25 rope. I said, I can make it from the window. Theres all that creeper and the drainpipe. Keep that tarpaulin team in position! Then I ran to the window. I climbed up the drainpipe with the rope around my neck. The drainpipe was rusty under my palms but the creeper seemed tough. At last I was on the roof. I managed to secure the hook under a window ledge. Now I had to persuade the boys to trust themselves to the rope. I told the elder Kimble boy. Its the rope from 30 the gym, strong enough to support a horse. Can you climb down? If you slip, theres a tarpaulin to catch you.

SULIT 7 Kimbles voice seemed steady enough as he said, Ill do it, Sir but the kid. He was 35 right, of course. The younger Kimble, only boy of eleven, was rigid with fear. Nothing would induce him to go over the edge of the gutter. I made up my mind on the spot. Well have to 37 lower him Explain what he has to do hell take it better from you. Above the roar of the flames, I could hear the elder the Kimble repeating. Itll be all right, Terry Do what Sir says Just do what he says! Between us, we managed to slip the loop over the childs shoulder and tighten it round his waist. However, the boy clung to the gutter with both hands and refused to move. I did not know what to do but at that moment, I saw the 42 bigger boys hand move, just once and very swiftly, up and then down. Then, he lifted his brother and lowered him down. There was no time to look down to see that the boy had made a safe landing. Showers of 45 sparks shot down from the windows and smoke was thickening. The next thing I knew was that I was sharing a sofa with the elder Kimble boy. Wheres your b rother? He replied, almost apologetically, Hes still unconscious, Sir. I had to do it. He looked up, grinned and held up his bruised knuckles for inspection.

SULIT SECTION D [20 marks] [Time suggested: 35 minutes] 32 Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow. Nature We have neither Summer nor Winter Neither Autumn nor Spring We have instead the days When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields Magnificently The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom When the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
