The Igbo gods are mostly manifestations of nature and its elements, which makes sense because they are an agricultural society that depends on the regularity of seasons and natural phenomena to survive. They worship the goddess of the earth and are always careful to avoid committing sins against her for fear of vengeance that might wipe out an entire generation. The Igbo ancestors also take on a divine nature to some extent. Family plays such a central role in Igbo life that the spirits of their ancestors are consulted for almost every decision and even serve as judges in legal trials (in the form of masked elders). The Igbo emphasis on numerous gods associated with nature and also on ancestors and somewhat divine contrasts sharply with the single God of Christianity which seems far less directly relevant to the Igbo lifestyle.
Answer:
<u>Option C. The following statement is an example of the author's bias in favor of building the strip mall:</u>
"Washington, who gave the most convincing speech of the night, eloquently stated that the new development would bolster business."
Explanation:
The term bias can be defined as a prejudice in favor or against something or someone, usually in a way that is considered to be unfair or subjective. When the author writes that Jerome Washington, who is in favor of building the strip mall, gave the most convincing speech, the author is showing a bias in favor of what Washington proclaimed, therefore a bias in favor of building the strip mall. This is because the fact that the author believes that Washington's speech was the most convincing is a completely subjective opinion, and can bot be used as a fact.

Explanation:
The narrator is an all-knowing observer who can inform of what every character thinks and feels. Jack London tells the story of Buck "The Call of the Wild" It is a mixed-breed dog that begins his life as a pet becomes the leader of a wolf pack in the wild. The author concentrates only on the character of Buck. He explains Bucks´s perspective and tells the story through his experience. Interestingly, London’s narrative revolves closely around Buck and his thoughts. Yet Buck is not a person and its struggles in the wild world are told by a third person, omniscient narrator. The thoughts or emotions of other characters are not included, and only the actions of other characters are described when the main character is present or learns of them second-hand.
