What is Achebe’s claim in this excerpt? Conrad’s writing focuses on solitude and sickness, not on clashing cultures or belief sy

stems. Conrad’s depiction of Europeans is biased and mostly negative, and his work should not be read as a result. Conrad uses Africa mostly as a setting to show how separation and solitude lead the human mind to disintegrate. Conrad and literary critics of his text have racist viewpoints because they fail to see the dehumanizing depiction of Africans in the text.

<u>Answer:</u>

Chinua Achebe’s claim in this excerpt from “An Image of Africa,” is that <em>Conrad and literary critics of his text have racist viewpoints because they fail to see the dehumanizing depiction of Africans in the text. </em>

<em>So the correct answer is Option D.</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Achebe further elaborates that Conrad tries to show Africa as a metaphysical battlefield where humanity has no place and it is there where the Europeans enter at their peril. He also adds that Conrad’s concern is not about Africa in the true sense but is about the deterioration of a European mind caused by solitude and sickness.
