Read the excerpt below and answer question. At last the day came by which all the missionaries should have died. But they were still alive , building a new red-earth and thatch house for their teacher, mr. Kiaga. That week they won handful more converts

b. Some of the Igbo’s traditions and beliefs are working against them.

Explanation:

Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," tells the story of Okonkwo and his struggle to come to terms with not only his personal conflict of what a man must be but also at the same time dealing with the changes in his African community. This change is the entry of White Christian missionaries in his village, while he along with the villagers still clung to the traditional practices and beliefs.

In the given excerpt from the text, we see that Okonkwo and the villagers who opposed the presence of the white Christian missionaries felt that since they were encroaching in their space, they would have died. But to their surprise, they were still alive. Added to that, they were even helped by some villagers to build a new house and even got new converts. This shows that they believe some of their own Igbo traditions and beliefs are working against them, which they think is evident from the survival of the white men and the acquiring of help from the Igbo people.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

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.
