Question 1 • ELA 10B - 2023

What is the main conflict in the story?

Answer
A
Nene wants a tribal wedding, but Nnaemeka wants an urban ceremony.
B
The village elders want Okeke to disown Nnaemeka, but he does not want to.
C
Nnaemeka’s father wants him to marry a neighbor, but Nnaemeka marries Nene.
D
Nnaemeka’s father thinks that women should not teach, but Nene is a dedicated teacher.

Explanation

The central conflict is between Nnaemeka’s wish to marry Nene and his father Okeke’s expectation that he marry a woman chosen from their community. Okeke objects to Nene and tries to prevent the marriage, while Nnaemeka chooses to marry her anyway. This makes choice C, about the father wanting him to marry a neighbor but Nnaemeka marrying Nene, the best answer.
