What type of evidence does Achebe use to contrast Conrad's point of view with that of other renowned
people of his era?
O an anecdotal reflection drawn from contemporary
figures
O a direct quotation reflecting historical events
O geographical facts with historical context
O historical evidence that Conrad researched

D). Historical evidence that Conrad researched.

Explanation:

Chinua Achebe critiques Joseph Conrad for the racist portrayal of Africans in his book 'The Heart of Darkness.' He contradicts Conrad's point of view by providing 'historical evidence that Conrad researched' as he felt that the latter being an outsider could never feel the actual pain and struggle suffered by the Africans. These historical instances not only deny Conrad's portrayal of Africans as Savage but also glorifies the rich history and culture of Africa which existed before the arrival of colonizers. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
