    SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)

    Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions on it. Use correct English
    sentences, as far as possible that follow using your own words as far as possible. Use your own words.

    Nowadays, most people have failed in one vital aspect of their lives in that they have mistaken their
    body colour for beauty. People, especially women think that to look beautiful means extinguishing their
    natural, black colour. This has made them indulge in the usage of sophisticated cosmetics. These users
    should only reflect a little and ponder over the effects these products have on their bodies.
    Cosmetics remove the natural black pigment in the body. This black pigment is resistant to adverse
    conditions and gives strength to the flesh, thus if one of these users is operated upon or sustains an injury, it
    would be difficult to stitch the spot or the wound to heal since the pigment is destroyed. The product also
    leads to the gradual deformation of various parts of the body so that the individual soon develops fallen
    jaws, twisted face, and dark areas around the eyes. This is a gradual process; the person finally realizes that
    it is too late to take precautions.
    In our African society this problem can be solved by educating the population about the various
    effects. The greater part of the educated population are those promoting the usage of these products.at this
    point, I begin to wonder what will become of the illiterate population who strongly believe in ‘’cream’’as
    the call it.
    Should we close down our cosmetic industries? The answer is no, beneficial to the producers, but
    also to the whole country.
    The only possible solution to this problem will be for the government to introduce new legislation
    concerning the producers and the quality and quantity of cosmetics produced. The government should also
    educate the population about the effects of these products. Self-education and self discipline will also be a
    vital tool in solving this problem.
