In Things Fall Apart, the arrival of the missionaries best illustrate the struggle between tradition and change.

While many resist the changes the missionaries bring, many like them. The missionaries bring new goods to the village and export village goods, bringing money into the village. This trade, however, has its drawbacks. Meanwhile, conversation between village elders and Mr. Brown allows them to understand one another. Mr. Brown tries to encourage the elders to educate their children, explaining this will bring hope for their futures.

Although many welcome these changes, others -- including Okonkwo -- are resistant. He and a few others do not like this change and even openly resist it. They value their traditions and do not want them altered.

Therefore, of the many themes in the novel, the one represented by the arrival of the missionaries is "the struggle between tradition and change."

Where did the construction materials for the colonization of Mars come from? (Question from "Feburary 2003: Interim".)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

concrete

Explanation:

Researchers think regolith on Mars could serve as a replacement for concrete components. The Mars rovers have used gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and laser spectrometry to determine the composition of martian soil. Mars regolith is mostly silicon dioxide and ferric oxide, with a fair amount of aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, and sulfur oxide. The composition varies from place to place on the planet’s surface because of variability in asteroid collisions and the weathering by wind and water, in ancient oceans and in some modern water flows. But no spacecraft has returned to Earth with actual samples of the material.
