Section C [25 marks] Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage. I was walking my dog, Phoebe, along the beach when she started barking like crazy. Distracted, I looked up to see what was happening. To my astonishment I saw a large creature lying at the waters edge about 100 metres away. I couldnt tell what it was, but its bulk and colour led me to guess it was a dead shark. Phoebe was standing just a few metres away from it, barking furiously. I laughed at her bravery: what a big, tough blue heeler she was, telling off a dead shark from a nice safe distance. But I soon discovered it was no shark. As I approached, I could see the unmistakable tail of a dolphin, but couldnt quite believe its size. 10 Inspecting it further I was surprised to see the blunt shape of its head seemed to be missing the characteristic dolphin nose. A little whale! It was roughly 2.5 metres long, but must have weighed between 200 and 300 kilograms. I looked it over, but saw no evidence of injury. Then, noticing what 15 might have been an eye on its blunt head, I leaned in for a closer look. Suddenly it opened, blowing wet air in my face. Not an eye, but a vent. It was breathing! Shocked and excited, my first thought was to rescue it. But how? I didnt think I could move it by myself, but I was alone and more than 20 three kilometres from town. There was no choice: I knew I had to do something. I decided to try to roll it. What an effort! After much straining and grunting (mine) and a fair bit of blowing (the whales), I managed to roll it a few times, timing my efforts as the waves rolled in. I was 25 making great progress until a giant wave picked the whale up and pushed it back, despite my efforts to brace against it. Dejected, I fell backwards underneath the whale and, as the water receded, found myself in a sitting position with the baby whale in my lap. I couldnt move. When the next wave began to roll in, I 30 could feel the panic rising inside me as the water quickly surged up my chin, engulfing me. I took a deep breath and went under.

Luckily, the whale became buoyant and I was able to scramble from under it. Regaining my composure, I quickly turned it face-first into the oncoming waves. Thankfully, it worked and with each rising 35 waves I slowly pushed the hapless creature further and further into deeper water until it was floating. Then I pointed it out to sea. But when the next wave came in, I was horrified to see it turned sideways again and heading back to the shallows. Yelling my utter frustration at the ocean, I positioned myself between the whale and 40 the shore once more, in a vain effort to stop it beaching again. Not sure what more I could do to help it, I simply held the poor, exhausted thing, talking to it over and over trying to reassure it. Then, suddenly, the whale flicked its tail. So youre ready now, are you? I asked. Are you sure about 45 that? You know what happened last time. Flick, flick: the tail moved again. I waited until we were between waves so I could plant my feet firmly in the sand and then I gave it an enormous shove. It went under the next wave and surfaced a few metres away, slowly moving out to sea, its tail now helping to propel 50 it along. Yes! I cried, as I watched it move into deeper water. Then, slowly, it started to turn. No, no! I shouted, as it started to face the shore again, no more than 15 metres away. Dont you dare come back here, I yelled. And, to my amazement and relief, it casually turned back around and moved further out to sea. Exhausted but exultant, I made my way up the beach and watched. The whale didnt seem to be in any immediate trouble so I 60 decided to run home and grab my wetsuit, intending to drive back and make sure it didnt beach again. Arriving home, I peeled off my wet clothes and donned my wetsuit. What the heck are you doing? my wife asked as I ran around the house looking for my car keys. Saving a whale, I replied.

Section D [25 marks] 32 Read the following stanzas of Monsoon History and answer the questions that follow.

Drinking milo, Nyonya and baba sit at home. This was forty years ago. Sarong-wrapped they counted Silver paper for the dead. Portraits of grandfathers Hung always in the parlour. Reading Tennyson, at six pm in pyjamas, Listening to downpouring rain: the air ticks With gnats, black spiders fly, Moths sweep out of our rooms Where termites built Their hills of eggs and queens zoom in heat. We wash our feet for bed Watch mother uncoil Her snake hair, unbuckle The silver mesh around her waist, Waiting for father pacing The sand as fishers pull From the Straits after monsoon. The air is still, silent Like sleepers rocked in the pantun, Sheltered by Malacca. This was forty years ago, When nyonya married baba.
