Explain the meaning of the Yoruba idiom "Ẹ̀dá ń bọ̀, ẹ̀dá ń lọ" and give a concrete example from everyday life where this idiom is applicable.
Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
The idiom means that all things are temporary - they arrive and then depart. For example, a student who fails a test this term but passes the next after studying shows that success and failure are fleeting, illustrating "Ẹ̀dá ń bọ̀, ẹ̀dá ń lọ".
B.
It conveys that life follows a predictable cycle of birth and death, so a farmer planting seeds each season exemplifies the saying.
C.
The phrase implies that success is guaranteed if one works hard, such as a businessman who always profits, which is an example of "Ẹ̀dá ń bọ̀, ẹ̀dá ń lọ".
D.
The idiom means that people are interchangeable and can be swapped at will; for instance, hiring a new employee to replace an old one demonstrates "Ẹ̀dá ń bọ̀, ẹ̀dá ń lọ".
