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.

1. The title begins with just 'Storm' not 'a storm' or 'the storm'. What does this imply​
Airida [17]

Answer:

By leaving out an article (a/the), the title STORM implies a deeper personification of the idea of a storm (whatever it may be in the story). It gives more emphasis on its importance or significance, rather than simply implying that it is "a thing"

Remember, theme is "TheMessage" in the story. Grab supporting details that could include "because, as, etc." That explain some specific action happening. Always look for the cause and effect in the stories. When you explain in detail, you write "and this supports the theme of the story because (your answer here).
