MARKING SCHEME
For each question, you will be awarded 4 marks if you have 1) odd 2) any natural number
darkened only the bubble corresponding to the correct answer 3) even 4) not possible
and zero mark if no bubble is darkened. In caseof bubbling of
incorrect answer, minus one (-1) mark will be awarded. 0  1 0 i 
