I would say A, <span>She has been raised in a society that views women as physically weak and incapable; thus, she does not think she can win a war against Creon.

What is ironic about the lines above?
Answer:
What is ironic about the lines above is:
A. They are being said by a violent thief threatening others with automatic rifles.
Explanation:
The story "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe revolves around Jonathan Iwegbu, a resilient and optimistic survivor of the Civil War in Nigeria. <u>The passage we are analyzing here takes place when Jonathan and his family are being robbed. Those lines are said by the leader of the thieves, and they are quite ironic. He claims that the war is in the past, that the violence is finished. However, what he and the other thieves are doing - robbing someone and threatening them with guns - is and act of violence. Even if they do not kill anyone, violence is still intrinsic to their actions</u>. For that reason, we can choose letter A as the best option: They are being said by a violent thief threatening others with automatic rifles.
