PETROLEUM TRAINING INSTITUTE (P.T.I)
ENTRANCE EXAMINATION
PAST Q&A YEAR 2000

Instruction: Read each passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
PASSAGE 1.
What we need now in Nigeria are real entrepreneurial innovators who are able to master our industrial environment and rise to the challenges posed by the need to produce goods not only for our immediate consumption but also for storage and export for inter-regional trade and world market
The government is a unique position to reward them and boost their morals by giving due recognition to both bosses and employees of successful companies, particularly small ones, who are making valuable contributions to the economy. The press has an invaluable role to play in this regard by focusing greater attention on problems of our industries; by reflecting a thorough but broad range of consumer expectations; by commissioning studies and encouraging public debates which would
but lead more comprehensive perspectives to the opinion available to us in the search for correspondingly highlighting the nefarious activities of the bad eggs and sharks. As things stand at the moment, institutions are that for the foreseeable future, the non-availability of foreign exchange ( to pay for imported raw material, machinery, spare parts, technical assistance e.t.c) is going to pose serious problem for our industries Our lifeline hangs on our relationship with the international banks.
We have, however failed to appreciate that the banks would be more favorably disposed to a country which has demonstrated its ability to administer its affairs properly and managed its resources judiciously. Correspondingly, they would be wary of a country which through criminal negligence has condoned the siphoning of huge chunks of public funds into private pockets or governments are going to be suspect largely due to the unenviable track record of their predecessors

The great herald of things to come was Ezekiel, not only in the sense that he predicted the future, but also became in the manner and content of his prophetic ministry, he foreshadowed many of the important religious development which were
Characteristics of the age after the exile. He, rather than Ezra, was the founder of Judaism. He not only pointed toward; bit as we shall see, he represented some of the great elements in Isreal's religious past.
The book which bears his name is outwardly impressive in its orderliness and symmetry and in the careful chronological arrangement of its contents, it purports to present the record of prophecies uttered in the Babylonian Exile between 593 and 571B.C. and for long this was not seriously questioned. Even when other prophetic books had been dissected and assigned to sundry authors and editors this book continued to be regarded by most scholars as having come in its entirely from Ezekiel. Then came a period in which many extreme theories were advanced, assigning much of it to other hands, or presupposing complicated processes of editorial revision, or dating the book to a period much later than the Babylonian Exile, maintaining that Ezekiel's ministry was not exercised in Babylonia but in Palestine, or at least was begun there. Such theories
have been subjected to damaging criticism, and are now somewhat discredited. The account of Ezekiel's minstry and teaching is based on the view that he lived and worked among the exiles in Babylonia, at the period indicated, and that the bulk of the material
in the book comes from him, though, like other prophetic collections, it owes much in its compilation, arrangements transmission to prophetic disciples.
