Question

The men in Okonkwo's village refuse to take down his body because _____.
A.) they are too angry at him for his action
B.) it is against their customs
C.) they want the District Commissioner to take responsibility for his actions
D.) they do not know how, because suicide is so rare

Answer 1

B) it is against their customs

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

B) It is against their customs

Explanation:

Okonkwo is a rich and noted warrior of the Umuofia group, a lower Nigerian society that is part of a consortium of nine related villages. He is appalled by the activities of Unoka, his anxious and spendthrift father, who died in disgrace, leaving many communities accounts unresolved. Okonkwo seldom expresses his concern, however, because he worries that doing so would make him look ineffective. Furthermore, he hopes that Ezinma was a boy because she would have been the perfect son.
