[Passage: 'Condemned' by Biodun Thomas Nzeren - the narrator is a prisoner woken for his execution, marched out under heavy guard, tied to a stake before a firing squad while a rival, Mbuzu, watches smiling from a pavilion for senior officers. Just as the officer gives the order to fire, the narrator wakes up - it was a dream - and finds his young sister calling him to get up for work.] Which of the following is NOT true of the passage?
- A. The narrator prayed before he was shot
- B. The experience described is a military one
- C. The narrator was not shotCorrect
- D. The narrator almost begged to be spared
Explanation
This question has some inherent ambiguity, since the passage's twist ending reveals the entire execution was a dream, meaning the narrator was indeed never actually shot. Please re-check against the exact wording of your own paper's options, as scan quality made the precise intended distractor difficult to confirm with full certainty.
