Section B
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Citizenship is the status of being a member of a nation, with rights and responsibilities. In Tanzania, citizens enjoy rights such as the right to vote, access to education, and freedom of expression. However, they also have duties, including obeying laws, paying taxes, and participating in community development. Good citizenship promotes national unity and development. Tanzania’s government encourages citizens to participate in democratic processes, such as voting in general elections and referendums. Active participation ensures that leaders reflect the will of the people. Additionally, citizens are expected to protect the environment by avoiding practices like deforestation and pollution, which harm the nation’s resources. Challenges to good citizenship include corruption and ignorance of civic duties. The government has introduced civic education in schools to address these issues, aiming to create responsible citizens who contribute to Tanzania’s progress.
