1. Black is a color and white is also a color, but black and white television is not a color television. Discuss. (10 marks)
Black and white are both recognized as colors (or shades, depending on the context). However, a black-and-white television is called "black-and-white" because it only displays different levels of brightness—from black through various shades of gray to white. It cannot reproduce the full range of colors like red, green, blue, yellow, and others. Therefore, although black and white themselves are colors (or tones), a black-and-white TV is not considered a color television because it cannot display colored images.
2. If soap and water make the body clean, then what makes the towel dirty after a bath? Discuss. (10 marks)
Even after washing, the body still sheds dead skin cells, natural body oils, sweat, and tiny amounts of dust or bacteria that remain on the skin. The towel absorbs moisture along with these particles. In addition, if the towel is not dried properly, bacteria and mold can grow on the damp fabric. So, the towel becomes dirty not because the body is still dirty, but because it collects moisture and the natural substances that come off the skin.
3. Can you trust a nurse whose husband sells coffins? Discuss. (10 marks)
Yes. A person's profession should not determine whether another family member is trustworthy. A nurse has a professional duty to care for patients and follows ethical standards regardless of what their spouse does for a living. Likewise, selling coffins is a legitimate business that serves families after a death. There is no evidence that a nurse would provide poor care simply because their husband sells coffins. Trust should be based on a person's actions, ethics, and professionalism not on assumptions about their family's occupation.
