Authors use ellipsis to show a pause or trail of thought. For example in ‘The Two Offers’ it reads “probably…an American Negro’s first attempt at the short-story form”. The use of the ellipsis creates the affect of tension and anticipation as well as the idea that the speaker is thinking before answering a question.

14. Unoka, Okonkwo's father, went to consult the Oracle concerning his crops.
Talja [164]

Answer:

14. True.

15. False.

16. True.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart", the story revolves around the Igbo culture in Africa, specifically on the character of Okonkwo. The story deals with themes of culture, tradition, Christianity, conformity, etc.

In Chapter 3, we see that Okonkwo's father Unoka went to the Oracle to consult why his crops failed even though he made sacrifices. It was then that he was told his crops failed despite his sacrifices because he was lazy and had planted on a wasted land.

Okonkwo's prosperity was a result of his desire to be unlike his lazy father. He did not want to be deemed alike to his father and thus, went to the wealthy Nwakibie to ask for 400 yam seeds.

In Igbo culture, yam was considered to be the king of the crops. It was assumed that a man who can feed yam to his family the whole year is a man who has succeeded and is hardworking.

Hope this helps!
