Question

“Nene is a good Christian,” his son went on, “and a teacher in a girls’ school in Lagos.” “Teacher, did you say? If you consider that a qualification for a good wife, I should like to point out to you, Emeka, that no Christian woman should teach. St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians says that women should keep silence.”

This passage is an example of __________.
racial bias
character vs. self conflict
generational dilemma
falling action

Answer 1

This passage is an example of generational dilemma.

 

A dilemma is a problem offering two possibilities, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. One in this position has been traditionally described as "being on the horns of a dilemma", neither horn being comfortable.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer 2

This dialogue is an example of the generational differences between Nnaemeka and his father, Okeke. Nnaemeka is part of the young generation that has broader expectations for men and women. Women are no longer expected to remain silent, as Okeke would prefer. They have found their voice. Nene is a great example of a modern Nigerian woman: self-sufficient, intelligent, well-educated, and not afraid to speak her mind.
