25 read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by chinua achebe. the prejudice against nnaemeka’s marriage was not confined to his little village. in lagos, especially among his people who worked there, it showed itself in a different way. their women, when they met at their village meeting, were not hostile to nene. rather, they paid her such excessive deference as to make her feel she was not one of them. but as time went on, nene gradually broke through some of this prejudice and even began to make friends among them. slowly and grudgingly they began to admit that she kept her home much better than most of them. what cultural value is revealed through the women's actions toward nene? they distrust nene because she has agreed to an arranged marriage. they value strong housekeeping skills. they admire nene for choosing her own husband. they show deference to her because her tribe is more powerful than theirs. 26 read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of the tragedy of julius caesar and the information in the paragraph below it. excerpt: antony. friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. i come to bury caesar, not to praise him. the evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrèd with their bones. so let it be with caesar. background information: "the evil that men do” is the title of a song by the english heavy metal band iron maiden. the lyrics of the chorus say that people’s evil deeds live on. to emphasize the point, iron maiden invokes a common cultural allusion. reverses a familiar literary allusion. makes a joke about a historical allusion. plays on a well-known religious allusion.
