The covenant
Answer: B. An agreement in which God promises and the people have a part to keep
A covenant is an agreement. God makes a promise, and the people have a part to keep. Abraham is promised descendants. At Sinai the people are given the law. A wish is not binding. Rules with no promise leave out one side. A battle prediction is not what the word means in these stories.
The covenant
Answer: B. Duty to God, and duty to other people
The commandments given through Moses cover worship of God and how people treat one another. Murder, theft and false witness sit with the neighbour. They are not a manual for one trade, a tribal list, or a building plan. Naming only one of the two areas misses half of the law.
The prophets
Answer: B. A prophet speaks for God and calls people back to the covenant
A prophet is a spokesperson for God. The message calls people back to worship and to justice. A prediction can be part of that message. It is not the whole work. A fortune teller has no covenant demand. The prophet is not the king, though a prophet may confront one. Weather is not the subject.
The prophets
Answer: A. The crushing of the poor, and worship that ignored injustice
Amos speaks against people who are at ease while the poor are crushed, and against worship that ignores that injustice. He asks for justice. The Gospels and Paul belong to the New Testament, centuries after Amos. Schools are not his subject. The name Amos, with no demand, does not answer the question.
The life of Jesus
Answer: A. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
The four Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Matthew, Mark and Luke tell many of the same events. John often goes more deeply into who Jesus is. Peter and Paul are apostles, not Gospel titles. Genesis and Exodus are Old Testament books. Acts and Romans come after the Gospels. Amos and Isaiah are prophets.
The life of Jesus
Answer: B. A story Jesus tells in order to teach a point
A parable is a story with a point, such as the kingdom of God, forgiveness, or how a neighbour should be treated. The story alone is not the whole answer when the question asks what it teaches. It is not a Roman law, not the title of a Gospel, and not the commandments given to Moses.
The early church
Answer: B. The Holy Spirit comes on them, and they speak about Jesus
Acts says the Holy Spirit came on the disciples. They spoke about Jesus to the crowd in Jerusalem, and Peter preached. People were baptised and joined the community. Pentecost is not silence. Paul did not write the Gospels, and he is not the preacher in that chapter. The point is the Spirit and the message.
Christian living
Answer: B. A belief that never changes what a person does is empty
James wants faith to be visible in care for other people. The action does not replace the faith. It shows the faith is alive. Saying that only money matters, or that people should be avoided, contradicts the teaching. A slogan with no example is not yet this answer.

No. You need one only to save your score and to keep going once the free marking for the day is used.
Nobody can promise that. These test the same topics and the same kind of thinking the WASSCE does, which is what practice is for. There are thousands more across BECE and WASSCE inside glearn; this page shows a small sample.
