Answer 1

Answer:

B. some of the Igbo’s traditions and beliefs are working against them.

Explanation:

In this passage, we see that the Igbo are convinced about the fact that their gods would not allow defiance for more than seven weeks. Therefore, they wait for this time to pass, thinking that the missionaries will not survive after this date. However, they do. Their own belief works against the Igbo, because this is taken as a sign of the enormous power of the missionaries, allowing them to gain more converts.
