Answer:
He fills his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm.
Explanation:
Achebe makes a strong use of Igbo words and expressions to create a new English and show how language and communication is a living organism, completely adaptable and innovative.
Igbo is one of the languages spoken in nigeria, which in itself is full of different adaptations, dialects and accents. Using this language together with the English language, the author questions the supremacy of the English language and raises the importance of other languages.
Answer:
B). Take too much time to read.
Explanation:
Verbal irony is characterized as the figurative device in which there is a contradiction between the literal and implied meaning of the statement.
In the given paragraph, the phrase 'take too much time to read' adds verbal irony as it reflects the contradiction in Jamile's intended action(presenting a brief summary of the meeting) and the actual action('elaborated due to inclusion of each comment from the meeting'). Thus, this comments(mocks) upon Jamile's inability to justify his job. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
Make sure you keep your reader interested, if its short make sure it makes sense. Maybe add a plot twist or a bad beginning and a great ending.
