Answer:

A). A group of railroad workers set off dynamite on a cliff that isn't in their path.

Explanation:

Joseph Conrad's popular work 'Heart Of Darkness' primarily deals with the issues of colonialism and its absurd and evil aspects. Conrad primarily aims to reveal the inner darkness of the colonizers and their exploitation of the resources(human and natural) of Africans in the name of civilizing them.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'A group of railroad workers set off dynamite on a cliff that isn't in their path' display the example of ineffectiveness of the colonialist activities in Africa as witnessed by Marlow. This reveals the primitive and grotesque character of the Africans. However, the chief aim is to highlight the inner void and darkness(the failure) of the colonizers who were looting Africa in the name of civilizing them. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Explain the phrase "weary of the 'Negro Question'" and "'sick of carpet-bag' government."
babunello [35]

"weary of the 'Negro Question'" and "'sick of carpet-bag' government." are related to the same political, social end economical event that happened in the USA after the end of the Civil War: The Reconstruction era. Congressional  Reconstruction included the stipulation that to reenter the Union, former  Confederate states had to ratify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  Congress also passed the Military Reconstruction Act, which attempted to  protect the voting rights and civil rights of African Americans. Former Confederates resented the new state constitutions because of their provisions allowing for black voting and civil rights, where we can explain the "weary of the 'Negro Question'". Carpetbaggers were northerners who allegedly rushed South with all their belongings in carpetbags to grab the political spoils were more often than not Union veterans who had arrived as early as 1865 or 1866, drawn South by the hope of economic opportunity and other attractions that many of them had seen in their Union service. Many other so-called carpetbaggers were teachers, social workers, or preachers animated by a sincere missionary impulse.
