Answer:
A). Okonkwo thinks his daughter Ezinma should have been a boy because she is strong and violent.
Explanation:
'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe is one of the most acknowledged African novels that primarily aims to reclaim the African culture and critique the colonialism and its dark side.
As per the question, the conclusion that can be drawn regarding Okonkwo is that 'he thinks that his daughter Ezinma should have been born a boy as she possesses a bolder attitude and strong and violent character.' <u>She owns the masculine characteristics like brazenness and confidence in her behavior which makes her fit in the traditional role like her father</u>. She sits like boys and does not fear to take on their tasks too. Due to these characteristics, Okonkwo thinks she should have been a boy. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
The correct answer is c) past.
Past (preposition) - from one side to the other of something, or in front of something.
Rephrased: He passed his grandmother's house on his way to school.
Passed - from the verb <em>to pass</em>, past tense, coudln't be used in this sentence.
Passet is not a word.
Pasted - past form of the verb <em>to paste, </em>does not fit in the context.
Something is certain to happen or informally, one would expect (predictable)
The verb <em>to cost </em>is C. linking irregular weak verb.
It is irregular because its past form is not formed with -ed, but: cost - cost - cost. It is linking because it links the subject with its price.
