Answer:

The answer is your first option: <u>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.</u>

Explanation:

The "silken threads" as mentioned on the text, are the rewards the emperor wishes to give to his subjects for doing what he is claiming: jumping over and under the stick, we know this for the following line:  <em>while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward. </em>We have the word "candidates", which are the subjects, and "leap over the stick" is the act of jumping over it.

The second option is the most akward, as the narrator has nothing to do in the story, he only tells is. The third option isn't possible either for there is no prompt for knowing that both, the empress and emperor have no respect for their subjects, and the final option is unknown as it doesn't mention whether the threads and sticks should be replaced or not, again, there is no prompt as for the reader to know that from this excerpt.

A hero is not always a tragic hero. Read Aristotle's classical definition of a tragic
Triss [41]

AThe first Aristotle’s criterion of the tragic hero requires that the character must be noble or a man of high status. In that sense, as described by Achebe, “Okonkwo was well known throughout the nine villages and even beyond. His fame rested on solid personal achievements” (Achebe, 3). Starting as a sharecropper with no inheritance from his father, Okonkwo works very hard and makes his way to a wealthy and respected man of titles in Umuofia. From his hard work, Okonkwo has 3 wives with many children, a large compound with obi for each of his wives and a large stock of yams. Okonkwo earns himself respect from people both inside his clan and outside his clan through many of his achievements. When he is a young man of eighteen, he brings honor to his village by throwing the Amalinze the Cat, a wrestler who is undefeated for 7 years. In addition, Okonkwo is one of the nine Egwugwu, a respected judge in the community who is believed to be the spirit of the ancestor. Furthermore, Okonkwo is also chosen by his village to be their representative to negotiate with Mbaino village about the murderer of an Umuofia girl in Mbaino market. With ease, Okonkwo successfully brings back a boy and a virgin as compensation and ends the conflict peacefully, without any confrontation.

Hope this helps
