Answer:

Explanation: Achebe's "Things fall apart"(1958) was actually a response to Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Achebe who is also known as the father of modern African literature felt that Conrad was racist in his approach and methodology in the depiction of Africans and their culture. In his essay titled "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'" interrogates the stereotyped manner of the portrayal of Africans in Conrad's book. <em>He felt that Conrad being an outsider can never feel the true pain and worth of the struggle and suffering of the Africans and he(Conrad) had further added to their domain of treating them(Africans) as savage instead of portraying it in its natural form. To undo Conrad's racist portrayal according to Achebe, he has glorified the African culture in "Things fall apart". </em>

Sample Answer:

Achebe effectively argues that Conrad’s Heart of Darkness presents racist views of Africa and the African people. He primarily uses well–thought-out and thorough textual evidence to support his claim. This is best exemplified by a comparison of two descriptions from Conrad’s text. One is a description of a British woman, and the other of an African woman. The British woman is depicted in a positive light, while the African woman is portrayed negatively, using stereotypes and harsh terms. By examining this contrast, Achebe effectively shows Conrad’s biased point of view.

Explanation:

This is the exact correct answer. I highly recommend changing it before pasting into the text box. Best of luck!

Read the following passage: “I gazed at these marvels in profound silence. Words were utterly wanting to indicate the sensations
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct word is “gazed”. The verb gaze is used to describe the action of looking / staring at something for a long period of time – be it because that something being watched is impressive or simply because the watcher is distracted and pensive.  In the passage, the word gaze does NOT impact the mood.

What really impacts the mood in the passage are the other words – marvels, profound, wonder, mysterious, spectacle and phenomena – since their meaning convey an idea of something unnatural, exciting and incredible happening before the eyes of the narrator.

The passage was taken from the book <em>A Journey to the Centre of the Earth</em> by Julio Verne. The narrator is struggling to describe his sensations when he finds a gigantic cavern and the Central Sea below the surface of the Earth.
