The egwugwu are a symbol of the culture and independence of the Umuofia. The egwugwu are seen as ancestral gods, though in actuality they are masked Umuofia elders. The egwugwu serve as respected judges in the community, listening to complaints and prescribing punishments and deciding conflicts
this is true because that is also a right of the people
B, the hook is to get the reader's attention.
Answer:
The answer would be C) swimmed.
Explanation:
If you put each answer into the sentence, you can see if it does or doesn't make sense. Ex:
Lets try A first:
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swammed </u>in the outdoor pool.
Although saying "swammed" might be fun, this does not make sense, therefore the answer cannot be A.
Lets try B next!
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swum </u>in the outdoor pool.
Again, this might be fun to say and all, but this does not make sense, so we should try C next.
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swimmed </u>in the outdoor pool.
This one makes sense and works! We should still try the last answer, D, though (you never know!)
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swam </u>in the outdoor pool.
At first glance, this may seem correct, but if you say this out loud, it doesn't make sense. The answer must be C) swimmed.
Hope this helped! :)
