Answer:
A. He uses the father's letter and dialogue to convey his disapproval of Nnaemeka's marriage.
Explanation:
Chinua Achebe's short story "Marriage is a Private Affair" revolves around the story of Nnaemeka and his "unaccepted" marriage to a woman outside of his tribe. The story delves into how tradition posed an obstacle to a marriage between two tribes, and how women are perceived to be in society.
When Nnaemeka informed his father about his marriage to Nene, his father was opposed to the idea of him marrying a woman outside of their Igbo tribe. Moreover, she was brought up in a cosmopolitan city and not 'fit' to be a traditional housewife. So, when he got the wedding picture, he cut off Nene from the photo and sent it back, replying with the words <em>"on further thought I decided just to cut off your wife and send it back to you because I have nothing to do with her. How I wish that I had nothing to do with you either."</em>
The author used the letter and the dialogues of Okeke to reveal his perspective of his son's marriage.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
In the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, there are many instances of irony.
The title is ironic since the idea of a lottery is to win something, in this case, the winner is stoned to death.
The opening description in paragraph one is considered ironic because it introduces the setting by describing the day as "clear and sunny" but it ends with the death of a woman.
In the story, there are also some ironic names such as Mr. Graves and Mr. Summers. While one may think of the summer as something enjoyable, he is in charge of the random killing of a villager every single year.
