Read the excerpt from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe.Nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by hi

s father’s grief. But he kept hoping that it would pass away. If it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "It has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. In that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. This man had come with others to commiserate with Okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. By that time the son had gone back to Lagos."It has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head."What did Our Lord say?” asked another gentleman. "Sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the Holy Book.”"It is the beginning of the end,” said another.What cultural value does this excerpt of the text reveal?the rejection of religious teachingsthe mandate to marry within one's tribeNnaemeka's eagerness to return to the cityOkeke's pride in being a patriarch

The correct answer would be:

b. The mandate to marry within one's tribe

In the passage line : "If it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. " It clearly shows how it has never happened that someone in the tribe marries someone form the outside, cause culturally in his tribe the mandate is to marry people from the inside.

The Norton Anthology of American Literature by Robert S. Levine.

<h3>What is an anthology?</h3>

An anthology is a collection of literary works chosen by the compiler for publication as a book; it could include plays, poetry, short tales, songs, or snippets from various authors' works. Anthologies in genre literature are frequently collections of shorter works by multiple authors, such as short tales and short novels, each with unique casts of characters and settings, and are typically compiled into one volume for publication. A collection of a single author's best writings (short tales, poems, etc.) is another possibility. "Full works" or "Opera Omnia" are terms used to describe complete collections of works.

Which event is described in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer's Odyssey?
serg [7]
C, Minerva disguises him as an old beggar. The idea is that he wants to go unrecognized when he returns home to his people. You can figure that he's an old beggar based on phrases like "a man of miseries" and "uncouth". 

However, if you have trouble reading older texts, websites like Sparknotes and Shmoop are great for getting summaries.
