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 wants to marry 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 choice of partner and his father Okeke’s expectations. Okeke wants him to marry a woman from their village, but Nnaemeka wants to marry Nene, whom he loves. The conflict is not mainly about the wedding ceremony or Nene’s work as a teacher.
