UNIBEN English Language 2022/2023 Past Questions

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
We knew early in life that the atmosphere in our home was different from that in many other homes where husbands and wives quarrel and where there was drunkenness, laziness or indifference - things we never saw in our family. We also knew that our father was an uncommon man. Whenever my mother was away, my father could and did do all the household jobs, We lived in this way in a community in which housework was regarded as being beneath male dignity. In our family, however, boys did girls' work and my father did it with us.
We had to get water at the public tap nearly a kilometre away from our house and make the trek back with water tins balanced on our heads. All the children in the neighbourhood knew we did women's work and I can still hear their derisive laughter. We did our jobs doggedly because our parents expected it of us. Out of choice, our father did everything we did, including fetching water on occasion, and commanded us by sheer force of this example.
