Section A (7,5 mks.)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer A, B, C or D.
Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, a tragic accident at his father's
workshop left him blind permanently. As a young boy, Louis was hardworking and intelligent. At the National
Institute for Blind Youths, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books
he found at the institute used raised letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, who had to slowly
feel each letter. By the time they reached the end of a sentence they had forgotten what the beginning was about!
Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from
Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called "Night reading", which was
made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night.
Louis adapted this system for his own use. He got rid of the dashes and produced a simpler system based
on dots. Many blind students found this system much easier to use. This came to be known as the "Braille"
system. Today million of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a dedicated, young blind
man.
