What is the proper name for a place where old records such as files, diaries and letters are kept?

  1. Archives
  2. Antiquities
  3. Museum
  4. Library
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Archives

1. Archives house important written information about the past — books, files, letters and diaries. 2. Academics and other interested people use them to read and reconstruct past events. 3. Antiquities are objects that have existed a very long time, such as remains of ancient buildings, mosques, churches and tombs. 4. A museum stores and exhibits objects of historical, scientific, artistic or cultural interest to the public. 5. A library holds books, films, records and music for use or borrowing by the public, which is a different purpose from preserving original records. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Civics 011, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (ii)_

Bride price is an element of culture classified under:

  1. customs
  2. beliefs
  3. norms
  4. traditions
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. traditions

1. Traditions are experiences of the past inherited by a society, and they are difficult to change. 2. They cover marriage, food, funeral ceremonies, family care, initiation and modes of worship, and differ between societies. 3. Bride price belongs to marriage practice, so it sits under traditions. 4. Customs are things people do regularly and, unlike traditions, they change as a society progresses. 5. Beliefs are what members of a society hold to be true, and norms are accepted standards of behaviour used to maintain social control. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Civics 011, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (vii)_
