UTME Practice Questions (Use of English) Read passages I, II and III carefully and answer the questions that follow: Passage I (2020) We knew early in our life that the atmosphere in our home was different from that in many other homes, where husbands and wives quarrel and where was drunkenness, laziness or indifference — things we never saw in our family.
