3 asks to choose the correct answer based on line 25 of the poem. Line 25 states: "Vo yisa mitsumbu, ku ya tatisa nhlayo ntsena" (They just go through the motions, just to fill up the numbers). The question asks what the poet means by this phrase regarding students and their school work. It implies that students no longer...

The phrase "Vo yisa mitsumbu, ku ya tatisa nhlayo ntsena" suggests a lack of genuine effort, enthusiasm, or commitment. Students are physically present or doing the bare minimum, but their hearts and minds are not fully invested.

• A. titsariseli: "register themselves". This does not fit the context of lack of effort in school work.
• B. tinyiketeli: "dedicate themselves / commit". This aligns perfectly with the idea of just going through the motions without genuine engagement or investment.
• C. tiyingiseli: "listen / pay attention". While a lack of attention can be part of the problem, "tinyiketeli" (dedication/commitment) is a more comprehensive term for the overall lack of engagement implied.
• D. tivuyiseli: "benefit themselves". This describes an outcome, not the action or attitude of the students as directly implied by the phrase.

The phrase "Vo yisa mitsumbu, ku ya tatisa nhlayo ntsena" best describes a situation where students are no longer dedicated or committed to their school work.

The correct option is B.
B) tinyiketeli
