Most candidates who attempted the question could correctly list how traffic accidents could be prevented, state signs of a fracture, the difference between a simple fracture and a compound fracture as well as the first aid treatment to be given to a victim of snake bite.
The candidates however, could not correctly state the criteria to be met in siting a house and many of them did not attempt that sub number. Expected answers include:

- Close so social amenities/named electricity/schools/hospitals;
