Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Oke

ke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.
"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”

"She is Nene Atang.”

"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”

"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.

When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.

"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.

Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?

Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.

The three best answers are:

  • The language doesn´t include the writer's reactions or judgements.
  • The language includes only the emotions that Olaudah Equiano described.
  • The writer avoided using loaded language.

When writing an objective summary it is necessary to focus on the principal theme or main idea of a text, as well as any particular, important detail that supports that idea. Every detail that is considered unnecessary has to be left out.

By objective it is meant that the writer avoids inserting his or her own point of view, reaction or perception about the text into the summary. This is why a summary that is considered objective should not be written in the first person "I" voice.

Helga [31]
The correct answer is: Looking inward to find the true self.

Modernist works are often written in the first person, unlike earlier works, which were written in the third. Furthermore, the technique known as "stream of consciousness" appeared during the Modernist era as a way of turning inward and writing about the "true self."
