Answer:
The correct answer is B. Since the leader consolidated all the power for his own use, the country is now essentially an autocracy.
Explanation:
Autocracy is a form of government where only one person has the utmost authority and does not delegate it to anyone else. Having that in mind, the only option that fits is B.
Its not democracy because there are many in power making more fair.
The moral of Guy de Maupassant’s “The False Gems” (“Les Bijoux” in French, 1883) sharply questions the hypocrisy of its male protagonist, Monsieur Lantin. Lantin is passionately in love with his young wife, whom he sees as the embodiment of beauty and virtue. His wife is perfect in every aspect, except for her love of imitation jewelry and the theater. Being of a puritanical bent of mind, Lantin finds both of his wife’s interests showy and improper. Clearly, such interests do not fit his worldview of what a well-brought-up, modest woman should be enjoying. At one point he remonstrates her ostentatious tastes, saying:
My dear, as you cannot afford to buy real diamonds, you ought to appear adorned with your beauty and modesty alone, which are the rarest ornaments of your sex.
Clearly, it is not the fact that she wears jewelry which bothers Lantin, but the fact that these gems are false. Despite having such fixed notions about real and fake, truth and deception, Lantin is ironically oblivious to how his wife manages to eke out their lavish lifestyle on his modest salary of 3,500 francs. After his wife dies of a lung infection, Lantin is heartbroken. But soon the heartbreak is replaced by financial hardship: left to manage his income by himself, Lantin struggles for even his next meal. Here, he commits his first act of impropriety, attempting to sell off his beloved wife’s imitation jewelry. Thus, the text begins to reveal his hypocrisy.
When a jeweler’s appraisal shockingly reveals that the ornaments are not fake at all, but real and precious, Lantin’s hypocrisy sparkles as well. At first, he falls into a “dead faint” at the implication of the jewelry's actual worth. His modest, virtuous wife was clearly leading a double life, being gifted gems from her many admirers. It was this double life that funded the extravagant lifestyle of the Lantins.
But Lantin’s state of shock at his wife’s “betrayal” does not last long and gives way to something else quickly enough. Instead of shunning the income, which should be deemed dubious by his strict standards, he sells off all the jewelry, resigns from his job, and settles into a life of leisure. In this, the story exposes Lantin’s hypocrisy completely. His love for his wife perishes with her “deception,” but he is not above enjoying the fruits of her lies. He even discovers a love for the theater, for which he harshly judged his late wife. And soon enough he remarries, but in a cunning twist, the effect is not what he had hoped.
Six months afterward he married again. His second wife was a very virtuous woman, with a violent temper. She caused him much sorrow.
As we see, the story challenges Lantin’s definitions of truth, happiness, and virtue in a wife; and he gets his just desserts for his double standards. The wife he considered “impure” was the one he was truly happy with, while the truly virtuous woman causes him “much sorrow,” as he deserves.

Explanation:
its ez u just trun it into an question i had this question last year :D
<em>Some men in the village use Christianity as a guide, while others rely on local medicine.</em> This is the correct option. The discussion begins making reference to these two views. A man explains what the Holy Books says about fathers and sons - the problem is that Nnaemeka wants to marry a woman his father does not approve of-. Then, another man , " more practical" , suggests Nnaemeka's father see a native doctor , " a good herbalist".
These options are not right:
-Some of the men think Nnaemeka is sick, but no one thinks he is cursed. This is not the culture divide but the men's opinions about the boy's state.
-Nnaemeka's father wants to bring in an herbalist, but the other men in the village try to talk him out of it. The father does not want to see a herbalist. He does not rely on them.
-Nnaemeka’s father does not want to accept his son’s choice, but the other men urge him to reconsider. The father does not agree with his son but the other men think the son is ill. The other men think Nnaemeka's choice may be the symptom of a desease.
