Answer:

D. The paragraph contains an analogy.

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison between one thing, people or situation to another that have similar features, and that is often made to explain or clarify a principle or idea. The paragraph, then, contains this type of comparison as it compares a particular situation of a family: someone who will not get what they wanted for dinner because the rest of the family wanted a different meal, to another situation involving a community, in which some citizens have to give up a right for the good of the people.

Likewise, this analogy can convey several messages like the idea that the interests of a majority often prevail over the interest of a minority, and that a person's freedom is often limited by other person's freedom.

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.
