1In NSSCO Khoekhoegowab First Language Paper 1, what should you do first when a comprehension question asks for explicit information (KH1-type)?
A.Invent a personal story that fits the theme
B.Locate the detail stated directly in the passage
C.Ignore the passage and use general knowledge only
D.Write only figurative interpretations
Explanation: Explicit reading rewards precise extraction of information stated in the text. Scan for the key phrase, then quote or paraphrase accurately in Khoekhoegowab.
2Which skill best matches inferring why a character avoids eye contact when the reason is not stated outright?
A.Copying the longest sentence
B.Reading only footnotes
C.Drawing an implied meaning from actions and context
D.Counting paragraphs
Explanation: Inference means reading between the lines using evidence from actions, dialogue and context — not inventing unsupported ideas.
3Scanning a Khoekhoegowab passage for a village name primarily tests which reading behaviour?
A.Writing a continuous essay
B.Locating a specific detail quickly
C.Preparing an oral presentation outline
D.Marking rhyme scheme
Explanation: Scanning searches for a particular fact (name, date, figure) without reading every word for deep analysis.
4Skimming a newspaper article in Khoekhoegowab before close reading mainly means…
A.Memorising every statistic first
B.Reading rapidly for overall gist and organisation
C.Copying only the last sentence
D.Ignoring headings and captions
Explanation: Skimming is fast reading for topic and structure. Intensive reading then examines detail, tone and language effects.
5In the 2025 Khoekhoegowab 6098 Paper 3, candidates had to comment on how the author presents !Ganeb. Which three areas did the guiding bullets cover?
A.His character; how ǁKhoases and Gariseb behaved towards him; his interactions with other people
B.The author’s biography, the publisher and the print date
C.The plot summary, the page count and the cover design
D.The examination timetable, the centre number and the marking grid
Explanation: The 2025 report states that candidates were expected to comment on how the author presents !Ganeb through analysis and evaluation, focusing on his character, how ǁKhoases and Gariseb behaved towards him, and his interactions with other people.
6The 2025 Khoekhoegowab Paper 3 report says most candidates scored poorly on the bullet about !Ganeb’s character. Why?
A.They wrote too many quotations
B.They lifted correct material from the text but failed to explain or motivate what they quoted
C.They answered in Khoekhoegowab
D.They used continuous prose
Explanation: The report states that candidates were able to lift correct answers from the text but failed to explain and motivate what they quoted, or quoted without elaborating. The expected pattern is state, quote, then explain.
7Own-words summary answers in Paper 1 mainly require you to…
A.Copy long sentences unchanged from the passage
B.Restate required ideas in fresh wording without adding new claims
C.Invent examples not in the text
D.Answer in English only
Explanation: Own-words tasks test understanding by rephrasing key points. Lifting whole sentences and adding unsupported ideas both lose marks.
8Which question stem most clearly signals a writer's attitude item?
A.How many kilometres is the journey?
B.Which word best shows the writer's disapproval?
C.What is the date in paragraph 2?
D.Name the three villages listed.

A.Oral Examination only
B.Reading and Directed Writing
C.Culture and Society coursework only
