This question is based on ‘The Lekki Headmaster’. What was the significant error Bepo pointed out regarding the school’s name?

  1. The name was too long and needed abbreviation.
  2. The name did not reflect the school’s values.
  3. The name was not registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
  4. The phrase “Group of School” was grammatically incorrect. ✓
Explanation

In Chapter 7, Bepo recalls working as Senior English Teacher at Beesway Group of School. As an English teacher, he noticed that the name was grammatically wrong. It should be “Group of Schools”, in the plural.

He politely pointed out the error. The director brushed him off and called the mistake “divinely inspired”. The problem was grammar, not the name’s length, its meaning or its registration.
