Question 8the climax of "the oasis: africa" is when the traveling men find the oasis. which of the following answer choices support this fact? choices: a: for eight weary days we had crawled across the burning desert. in all directions stretched the wastes of the mighty sahara. sand, sand, and always sand; hills of sand, valleys of sand, and paths of sand. sand in the scanty food, sand in the brackish water—water that was drunk lukewarm from a clammy, loathsome water-skin. sand in one’s mouth, nose, and eyes. b: this danger past, we had lost another day making a wide detour to the east in order to avoid the fierce, tameless tuaregs, who were marauding in the district. c: matchlocks were primed, cartridges rammed home, and swords loosened in their sheaths. was it the tuaregs again across our path? but mohammed, the keen-eyed, shouted joyfully—“the oasis, the oasis! i see the palm-trees.”d: the oasis was set in the sand of the desert like an emerald on a shield of gold. the massive green foliage of the graceful palms was delightfully welcome to eyes smarting and sore with the glare of the eternal sand. how delightful it was to sit in the shade of a moss-grown bank, while at one’s feet a brook ran babbling, picking its way through the cultivated patches!

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
