QUESTION 1 Read EXTRACT A and answer the questions that follow.
EXTRACT A The Giant picked up the trembling Sophie with one hand and
carried her across the cave and put her on the table. Now he really is going to
eat me, Sophie thought. The Giant sat down and stared hard at Sophie. He
had truly enormous ears. Each one was as big as the wheel of a truck and he
seemed to be able to move them inwards and outwards from his head as he
wished. ‘I is hungry!’ the Giant boomed. He grinned, showing his massive
square teeth. The teeth were very white and very square and they sat in his
mouth like huge slices of white bread. ‘P . . . please don’t eat me,’ Sophie
stammered. The Giant let out a bellow of laughter. ‘Just because I is a giant,
you think I is a mangobblying cannybull!’ he shouted. Source: 1.1 Identify the
genre of EXTRACT A. (1 mark) 1.2 Explain the meaning of “mangobblying
cannybull”. (1 mark) 1.3 Discuss how the use of adjectives conveys the
feelings of Sophie. (2 marks) 3 Read EXTRACT B and answer the questions
that follow. EXTRACT B …Nelson Mandela has left a great footprint in this
life, a print of forgiveness, hope for a better South Africa, and love for fellow
human beings. He took a long walk to free us from the oppressors and he
emphasised several times that his footprint couldn’t have been so great if
fellow comrades didn’t work collectively. It was a footprint of giants, visionaries
and fighters. They all knew that leadership is not a career, but a calling that
comes with great responsibilities. Their footprint has influenced a positive
change in our nation. A footprint that we as South Africans can choose to step
on and follow. As South Africans, we have a responsibility to make a
difference in life [and in our nation]. We should learn from Mandela that great
things start small and simple, yet they come from a genuine heart, full of
passion and hope for a better future. We should implement change from our
homes to our communities, then the world will be a better place… Source: 1.4
