The right answer is: Depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker. Ayn Rand, the author of "Anthem", is one of the most controversial authors and philosophers of the twentieth century throughout her novels and lectures, Rand introduces her audience to her philosophy, Objectivism, which encourages people to be selfish and live a better life. To achieve this, you should do whatever you want, but without creating victims. To Rand, selfishness means to work hard, earn self-esteem, pursue the happiness and grow by treating others with the same value.
Written in 1937, Rand intended to use Anthem as a critic of collectivism, the philosophy that individuals exist only to contribute to the well-being of the society. In the novel, individualism has been erased and the world is crumbling.
The song "<em>No Church in the Wild</em>" by the American hip-hop artists Jay-Z and Kanye West uses the questioning of established authority, morality, and beliefs from Plato's dialogue titled "Euthyphro."
- In <em>Plato's Euthyphro</em>, Socrates disagreed with Euthyphro's claim that what is holy (piety) is accepted by all the gods, just as the song <em>"No Church in the Wild" </em>posits that there is no accepted standard for judging morality.
- With the quote, the song is implying that individuals are free to make their religious choices. For the coreligionists, this is a baseless argument because God has established his authority and ordains all things, including morality.
Thus, the song is not using the quote from Plato to convey a different meaning. The quote has the same meaning as in Plato's "Euthyphro" - the rejection of established religion.

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.
