Answer all questions.
Section A: Content-Based Questions
1.1 Refer to paragraph 1.
(a) Identify the modal verb used in paragraph 1 and explain its purpose in the context of the
text. (2)
The modal verb used in paragraph 1 is "can". The purpose of this modal verb in the context of the
text is to express the ability or possibility for individuals from different backgrounds to achieve
success through education. It emphasizes the transformative power of education and the
opportunities it can create for people from all walks of life. (10) (www.mandela.ac.za)
(b) There is always a relationship between tone and purpose.
Mention the tone used in paragraph 1 and provide a reason why (purpose)
the speaker had to use this tone. Support your answer by citing an
example from the text to substantiate your response. Pay careful attention to the correct
use of language. (2)
The tone used in paragraph 1 is inspirational. The purpose of the speaker is to motivate and inspire
the readers by emphasizing the power of education to bring about positive change in the world. This
tone is necessary to convey the importance of the university's mission and the impact that education
can have on individuals and society. An example from the text that demonstrates this inspirational
tone is the quote from Nelson Mandela about education being the most powerful weapon to change
the world. This quote serves to inspire and motivate the readers to believe in the power of
education. (Mandela Metropolitan University, 2021)
(c) Identify a proper noun used in paragraph 1 and support your answer by explaining why
you think this is a proper noun. (2)
The proper noun used in paragraph 1 is "Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University". This is a proper
noun because it is the specific name of a university, and it is capitalized to indicate this. It is not a
common noun that refers to any university, but a specific one. (www.mandela.ac.za)
1.2 Refer to paragraph 2.
The underlined word is formed from the root ‘equal’. Discuss the changes that occurred. (2)
The underlined word "equality" is formed from the root "equal" by adding the suffix "-ity" to create
the noun form. The addition of the suffix changes the word from an adjective (equal) to a noun
(equality), indicating the state or quality of being equal. This change allows for a shift in focus from
the concept of being equal to the actual state of equality itself.
