Section A: Content-Based Questions
1. Read Text A below and answer the questions that follow.
CHANGE THE WORLD
The motto of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University is: “Change the World”, a noble mission
inspired by the famous statement, Nelson Mandela that “education is the most powerful weapon which
you can use to change the world”. For, “it is through education that the daughter of a peasant can
become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of a mine, that the child of farm
workers can become the president of a great nation”.
True to the legacy of Nelson Mandela, this University is also a value- driven institution where social
justice and equality are paramount in the endeavour to rectify the inequalities in our world. The
African philosophy of “ubuntu” underpins what you aim for and do as an institution.
Like all universities the world over, in line with your values, you had to quickly adapt in the face of
the pandemic to offer your twenty-nine thousand or more students online and mask-to-mask tuition.
This has not been easy for you, especially given the gap in content knowledge between those who are
privileged to have access to data, devices, and internet and those who do not.

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.
The modal verb used in paragraph 1 is "can." Its purpose in the context of the text is to express
ability or possibility. In this case, it emphasizes the potential for individuals from different
backgrounds to achieve success through education.
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.
The tone used in paragraph 1 is inspirational and motivational. The speaker uses this tone to convey
the message of hope and empowerment through education. For example, the statement "it is through
education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor" reflects the uplifting and encouraging
tone, aiming to inspire the readers.
