Correct Answer
A.
By the time Amara entered the dusty aisle of the old library, she had already scanned every shelf for the missing history textbook. A cracked leather cover caught her eye; the diary lay half‑buried beneath a stack of forgotten yearbooks. She brushed off the cobwebs and opened to the first page, where a neat hand wrote, "June 1943 - I hide my thoughts here, hoping they survive the war."
Amara read aloud, and the words seemed to echo through the empty hall. She has felt a strange connection to the unknown writer, as if the diary were a bridge across decades. The entries described secret meetings, coded messages, and a promise to protect a hidden treasure.
When she reached the final entry, the ink was smudged: "The treasure is not gold but the diary itself - it will reveal the truth to the one who reads it." Amara's heart raced; she realized the diary was not a relic but a confession that the school's founder had forged the library's reputation by stealing the original manuscripts. The "treasure" was the truth about the library's deceit, and Amara now held the power to expose it.

By the time Kemi stepped into the dim corner of the school library, she had already checked the catalogue for any missing novels. A faded blue cover lay tucked behind a row of encyclopedias; the diary was half‑hidden under a pile of old newsletters. She wiped away the dust and turned to the first entry, where a careful hand wrote, "April 1952 - I hide my secrets here, hoping they survive the test of time."
Kemi read the pages aloud, and the words seemed to linger in the quiet room. She has felt a strange pull toward the writer, as if the diary were a bridge across generations. The entries spoke of secret clubs, hidden messages, and a promise to protect a lost photograph.
When she reached the last page, the ink was faded: "The photograph is the key to the past." Kemi smiled, satisfied that she had uncovered a forgotten piece of school history.
