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.

swat32

Answer:

When you look for similarities in two things you read, you compare them.

Explanation:

Comparison is an expressive way of saying that compares something less familiar with something more commonly known.

It is a method in the literature that arises when one compares one with one based on common traits, often in an unfounded context.

Comparison is a basic and very much used style figure. Compare something unfamiliar with the known to make the unfamiliar to the wider public. It is often used in everyday conversation.
