WAEC SSCE - Literature In English - 2011 (Objective)

Question 1 Report

Read the extract and answer the question

Here lies our sovereign Lord the King
Whose word no man relies on
Who never said a foolish thing
And never did a wise one.

Which of the following is not a type of play?
Answer Details
The passage does not provide information about a "tragic flaw," so this is the option that is not a type of play. A tragic flaw is a literary term that refers to a character trait that leads to the downfall of a tragic hero in a tragedy. The passage is a satirical epitaph that suggests the king was neither wise nor foolish, which is why it cannot be used to determine the types of plays.
