JAMB Agricultural Science 2020 Paper

Concept:The $\mathrm{pH}$ scale measures acidity or alkalinity from $0$ to $14$.Explanation:A $\mathrm{pH}$ value of $7$ is neutral.Values below $7$ are acidic; the lower the value, the stronger the acidity.Values above $7$ are alkaline; the higher the value, the stronger the alkalinity.A soil with $\mathrm{pH} \, 2$ is far below $7$ and very close to $0$.Therefore, it is extremely acidic, not just slightly or moderately acidic.Answer:Highly acidic (Option C).
