The family
Answer: A. Parents and their children living together
A nuclear family is parents and their children living together. An extended family adds other relatives, such as grandparents and cousins. A village is a community, not one family type. Children with no adult are not the definition the paper uses. Name who lives there before you list an advantage.
The family
Answer: B. Feeding, sheltering and teaching its members
The family feeds and shelters its members and teaches children how to live with other people. Printing money, setting an exam timetable and collecting tax are state work. A function needs a verb the family actually does. Affection and a sense of belonging are further true functions.
Family resources
Answer: B. Planning, organising, implementing, evaluating
The process runs planning, then organising, then implementing, then evaluating. Planning chooses the goal. Organising gathers people and tools. Implementing does the work. Evaluating asks whether the goal was met. A list that starts with evaluating has reversed the process.
Family resources
Answer: A. Time and money
Time is a human resource. Money is a material resource. A cooking pot, a chair, electricity and charcoal are material. Two objects are not a human resource. Human resources also include energy, knowledge and skill. Both kinds are limited, which is why they are managed.
Housing the family
Answer: B. A house is the building. A home is the building lived in with care
A house is the building. A home is that building with the family and the care inside it. Renting or owning does not decide the word. A house without a roof is not the definition. The distinction is a common mark, so give both sides.
Housing the family
Answer: B. Cool it with clean running water
Cool a small burn with clean running water. Do not apply a paste, and do not invent a drug dose. A deep or large burn needs a clinic. First aid is the immediate help before medical care. Prevention, such as turning pot handles in, is a separate point.
Food management
Answer: B. A plan that names who will eat, the money, and the time to cook
Management in Living asks who the meal is for and what it costs in money and time. A vitamin list, a guessed calorie number, or a chemical formula is the nutrition science, which belongs on the Food and Nutrition paper. This paper still expects the food to be safe and suited to the people eating it.
Consumer education
Answer: B. Buying an item because it caught the eye, not because it was planned
Impulse buying is unplanned. The item was bought because it was in front of the buyer. A list, a comparison of price and quality, and a receipt are the habits that resist it. The receipt matters later if the item is faulty. It is not the definition of the impulse itself.

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.
