1.1 EXTRACT A (Thami, Isabel and Mr M are preparing for the literature quiz.) THAMI What happened to the statue? ISABEL: You mean how was it toppled? THAMI: Yes. ISABEL: Didn't say. Weather. I suppose. And time. Two thousand four hundred BC... that's over four thousand years ago. Why? What were you thinking? I had a book of Bible stories when I was small, and there was a picture in it showing the building of the pyramids by the slaves. Thousands of them, like ants, pulling the big blocks of stone with ropes, being guarded by soldiers with whips and spears. According to that picture the slaves must have easily outnumbered the soldiers one hundred to one. I actually tried to count them all one day but the drawing wasn't good enough for that. NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH extracts i.e. QUESTION 11 and QUESTION 1.2 THAMI: ISABEL: THAMI: ISABEL: MR M: THAMI: MR M: 5 10 What are you up to, Mbikwana?

And with any luck you'll live to see it happen. We won't leave it to Time to bring them down.
