Answer:

B. Fathers are used to having total authority over choosing their children's spouses.

Explanation:

In the passage, Nnaemeka expresses that his father is unhappy that he was not the one to arrange the marriage to Nene. To Nene from the city of Lagos and "cosmopolitan atmosphere" the idea of arranged marriage obviously pretty foolish, and somewhat of a joke.

However, it proves the patriarchal values and ideas that still run in the rural societies of Nigeria. In those societies, fathers are still the ones to arrange and bless the marriages, and they want to decide from which part of the society the bride of their son comes. This is the obvious example of patriarchy.

Which statement best summarizes the outcome of the haitian revolution

Bond [772]

Answer:

The correct answer is option "A"

The outcome of the haitian revolution was due to the victorious haitian rebels who ended slavery and executed thousands of former slave owners.

The Haitian Revolution (1791 - 1804) was carried out by self-liberated slaves against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti nation). This revolution was the only slave uprising that led to the founding of a slavery free state which became ruled by non-whites and former captives. The abolition of slavery in the French former colony which allowed haitians' independence from white Europeans challenged the European beliefs about the slaves' capacity to gain and maintain their own freedom.
