The right answe is "C.shortly after the Nigerian Civil War "

The story starts off in eastern Nigeria after the civil war has ended. The protagonist, Jonathan Iwegbu, was able to keep his bicycle, which he turns into a taxi to make money. In two weeks he makes 150 pounds. Jonathan then travels to Enugu to search for his home, and to his surprise it is still standing when other structures around it are demolished. The house needs some repairs, so Jonathan finds some supplies around and makes it look like a home again. He then moves his family back in. The entire family works hard to earn money and rebuild their lives. The children pick mangoes and Maria makes akara balls to sell. After finding that his job as a miner isn't a possibility he decides to run a bar for soldiers out of his house.

Jonathan gets an "egg rasher" (a butchered pronunciation of the Latin ex gratia, which translates into "as a favor") for turning in rebel currency to the Treasury, and in exchange they gave him 20 pounds legitimate currency. The next night, a large group of robbers show up at his house demanding 100 pounds. When Jonathan replies that he only has 20 pounds, the leader of the robbers demands he hand the money through the open window. After they take the money, life goes on as usual for Jonathan because "Nothing Puzzles God," meaning that the robbery has a greater meaning in God's eyes than how it seemed to Jonathan.

What made keran war so tragic
VashaNatasha [74]

<em>Despite the absence of reference text, the Korean War which was fought by the communist-backed North Korea and the US-backed South Korea was tragic due to the fact that many of the families affected by the war were forced to part ways. Moreover, famine and a series of dictatorial regimes plagued the two countries even after the signing of the Korean truce.</em>

Which sentence best shows a compare/contrast organization of ideas? A) The number of video games that Arnold owns is staggering
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The correct option is letter B) While Rebecca wants to go swimming every day, Arnold only wants to stay home and play video games.

Explanation:

A sentence that compares two elements focuses on those elements' similarities. A sentence that contrasts two elements focuses on their differences. Among the options given, letter B is the only one that presents a compare/contrast organization of ideas. As a matter of fact, it is contrasting Rebecca's and Arnold's preferences. The conjunction "while" helps convey the idea of contrast by stating that, while one element wants one thing, the other element wants something else. While Rebecca would rather go swimming, Arnold prefers to stay home. The difference between their preferences are made clear by the sentence's organization.
