Which of the following is NOT implied in the expression: 'One naira per meal is a privilege in this country?
Let’s consider the expression from the passage:
"One naira per meal is a privilege in this country."
This implies that:
Meals at one naira are unusually cheap (i.e., a privilege).
Obi is too broke to afford more.
It’s rare to find meals at that price.
Ordinarily, one naira cannot buy much.
Let’s assess each option:
A. Nowhere in this country is food sold for one naira — This is not implied. In fact, food is sold for one naira at the Sports Club Cafeteria. So this statement is false and NOT implied.
B. The price per meal at the Sport Club Cafeteria is one naira — Implied in the very first sentence.
C. It is rare for anybody to feed satisfactorily with one naira in any hotel in the country — This is a logical inference from calling it a “privilege”.
D. Obi cannot afford more than one naira for one meal — Directly stated: “I am too broke to afford anything more.”
E. Ordinarily one naira cannot buy much in the country — Implied by the fact that Obi sees it as a “privilege”.
This makes A. Nowhere in this country is food sold for one naira the correct answer as it is not implied in the passage.
