Which statement correctly analyzes this passage in terms of
its historical context?
read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by
chinua achebe. in this passage, nnaemeka speaks first,
and nene speaks second.
"yes. they are most unhappy if the engagement is not
arranged by them. in our case it's worse-you are not even
an ibo."
this was said so seriously and so bluntly that nene could
not find speech immediately. in the cosmopolitan
atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her
something of a joke that a person's tribe could determine
whom he married.
nene realizes immediately that her marriage to
nnaemeka will cause conflict in his family.
nene is surprised how different her values are from
people who live far from a city.
nnaemeka does not understand how different nene's
values are from his family's.
neither nnaemeka nor nene believes that nnaemeka's
family will object to the marriage.
at last she said, "you don't really mean that he will object to
your marrying me simply on that account? i had always
thought you ibos were kindly disposed to other people."
"so we are. but when it comes to marriage, well, it's not
quite so simple. and this," he added, "is not peculiar to the
mark this and return

NENE REALIZES INMEDIATELY THAT HER MARRIAGE TO NNAEMEKA WILL CAUSE CONFLICT IN HIS FAMILY.

Explanation:

The correct option is the first one: NENE REALIZES INMEDIATELY THAT HER MARRIAGE TO NNAEMEKA WILL CAUSE CONFLICT IN HIS FAMILY because of the context that we can see in the little excerpt that we have; at this respect we can say that Nnaemeka lives in the city and Nene doesn’t; it is relevant because Nene seems to be surprised about the Nnaemeka’s family behaviour, but he tells her that when is a marriage situation families are not really open to other people. With the dialogue we can see that they are in love and that they’re trying to marry, but probably in the story they will having trouble achieving it. The other options are not quiet correct because we cannot see them in the dialogue between the couple.

Concerning the historical context, we can observe that Nnaemeka becomes from the Igbo or Ibo tribe, which is a real culture in Nigeria that since its beginning has been very hermetic in everything related with their traditions and cults. Following this, we can understand better why Nene and Nnaemeka are afraid about what Nnaemeka father will say about Nene and her origin that is of course not related to Ibo tribe

B, Nene is surprised how different her values are from people people who live far from a city
