Answer: Much of the humor in Somerset Maugham's short story "The Luncheon" derives from the fact that the narrator is trying to appear sophisticated, urbane, and gallant, whereas he really can't afford to be entertaining this woman in such an expensive restaurant as Foyot's. He feels relieved initially because she tells him, "I never eat anything for luncheon," and then he is appalled when she orders some of the most expensive items the place has to offer. Maugham describes the situation in just a few words:
Explanation:
Answer: his machete and h-oe are weak.
Explanation:
In the book, ''Things Fall Apart'' by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo's father Unoka, had gone to the shrine of Agbala to inquire as to why his crops do not grow well.

To answer this question, we can use process of elimination to determine which answer is best. Starting with choice 1, consider if there is much description of the tall figure to create a sense of terror. Since there is only a brief mention of the tall figure in the excerpt, it is safe to say this is probably not the best answer.
Answer 2 seems a bit more likely because by describing the chase, a thrilling tone and suspense is created, like the answer implies. This answer can stay in the running.
Answer 3 seems improbable since it is the prince that has died in this excerpt--we're told this in the first sentence.
Answer 4, much like the second answer, is a good choice because the language used in the excerpt does do a good job of creating an energized tone.
However, when we look at the overall story itself, we see that the story is not an energetic one, but a terrifying one that excites and thrills as you read through it. Because of this, answer 2 is your best choice here.
