Explanation:
Richard Wright's short narrative "The Rights To The Streets of Memphis" is a story about his act of growing up and standing for his own right against bullies. The story delves into the theme of poverty, hard work, tolerance, suffering, and strength.
In the story, Richard learned about the strength and the pains of hunger that will lead him to overcome his dread of going to the grocery store. And through it, his mother helped him realize the strength he needed to overcome his fear and confront the bullies if he wants to survive. His mother took a job, providing a source of income for the thriving family. She also forced him to stand up against the bullies, even at the cost of losing the hard-earned money twice. But this persistence led him to decide to be strong and eventually 'conquered' the <em>"rights to the streets of Memphis"</em>.
Thus, the correct answers are options B and C.

The title “Marriage Is a Private Affair” ironic because:
The marriage of Nnaemeka and Nene is not private at all because <u>it is discussed by the entire village.</u>
Nnaemeka's father Okeke was against the decision of Nnaemeka of marring Nene because she belonged to a tribal group. Such reserved and orthodox thinking was not just restricted to Okeke but were the thinking of the entire village. After their marriage, the women of the village didn't include Nene in any of the village affairs. Where marriage should be a totally private affair Nnaemeka's and Nene's marriage becomes a public one.
