Answers to the Comprehension Questions on Currency:
- Barter is a system of trading goods directly, without using money.
- People moved away from bartering because it became inconvenient. It wasn't always easy to find someone who wanted what you had and had something you wanted in return.
- Two examples of early forms of currency are:
Salt: It was valuable for preserving food and easy to transport.
Cowrie shells: These shells were rare and considered valuable in many cultures. - The advantage of coins over other early forms of currency is that they have a guaranteed value stamped on them. This makes trading easier because everyone knows exactly how much a coin is worth.
- Paper money was first used in China around 700 AD.
- Currency has changed over time from bartering goods to using coins, paper money, and now even electronic forms of payment like credit cards and digital wallets.

"Should students in Nigerian schools be permitted to use mobile phones during school hours? Provide reasons for your stance and suggest possible guidelines for their usage."
I believe that students should be allowed to use mobile phones in school, but under certain conditions. Mobile phones can serve as valuable tools for accessing educational resources, staying connected with parents, and ensuring safety in emergencies. However, to prevent distractions and misuse, guidelines should be established, such as restricting phone usage to designated times, prohibiting use during classes, and enforcing consequences for inappropriate behavior. By striking a balance between access and responsibility, students can benefit from the advantages of mobile technology while maintaining a conducive learning environment.
