SAMPLE TRIVIA
Question #1
In which part of South Africa did Nombeko live?
a.Soweto
b.Johannesburg
c.Pelindaba
d.Kriel
ANSWER a
Soweto
Nombeko, a 14-year-old girl, is the main character of the book. She lives in Soweto, an impoverished township situated 50 miles from Johannesburg, South Africa. She grew up as an orphan and resides in shanties, surrounded by neighbors who work on cleaning the latrines and sweeping the garbage to the river. Though her area is surrounded by people who are drug addicts, she maintains self-discipline and hard work, helping her rise above all. Nombeko is also known for her intelligence and learns things on her own.
Question #2
What accusation did the German engineer file against Nombeko?
a.Walking on the street in front of his car
b.Stealing money
c.Selling fake diamonds
d.Forgery
ANSWER a
Walking on the street in front of his car
The German engineer hit Nombeko with his car because of drunkenness; the alcohol level of his blood was five times higher than the legal limit. But because racism was still rampant in South Africa at that time, the judge favored the engineer. Nombeko was forced to pay a fine due to the damage of the engineer’s car (which was so unfair because the girl had a broken arm, wrist, and jaw).
Question #3
How many nuclear missiles did South Africa develop in the 1980s that they dismantled voluntarily in 1994?
a.Ten
b.Six
c.Four
d.Seven
ANSWER b
Six
South Africa produced six nuclear missiles in the 1980s, and in 1994, they voluntarily dismantled the six. However, the story is about the seventh missile that was not supposed to exist. Nombeko accidentally discovered a lot of information about it, and she was being chased by both South African officials and the top secret service of several nations. She ends up in Sweden, turning the nation into a nuclear country and the destiny of the country now resting in the hands of Nombeko.
