Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. In this conversation, Nnaemeka speaks first, and Nene spe
aks second. "You have lived in Lagos all your life, and you know very little about people in remote parts of the country.”
"That’s what you always say. But I don’t believe anybody will be so unlike other people that they will be unhappy when their sons are engaged to marry.”
"Yes. They are most unhappy if the engagement is not arranged by them. In our case it’s worse—you are not even an Ibo.”
This was said so seriously and so bluntly that Nene could not find speech immediately. In the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her something of a joke that a person’s tribe could determine whom he married.
At last she said, "You don’t really mean that he will object to your marrying me simply on that account? I had always thought you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people.”
"So we are. But when it comes to marriage, well, it’s not quite so simple. And this,” he added, "is not peculiar to the Ibos. If your father were alive and lived in the heart of Ibibio-land he would be exactly like my father.”
The historical context of this passage is that people in large cities and rural villages had different opinions about how people should choose marriage partners, as option C shows.

I would say yes, you’re technically not considered “grown” at that age, and you’re still at the point where you wanna hang out with your friends and be children, even at that you could just call it free time if the kids think they’re too old for recess.
