Question 2 • ELA 10B - 2023

How does this passage best demonstrate a patriarchal system?

Answer
A
The people of Nigeria belong to a variety of tribes with different customs.
B
The people of Nnaemeka’s village arrange the marriages of most couples.
C
A son has chosen to live in a city apart from his family members, who remain in a rural area.
D
A son believes that he must choose the right time and place to communicate with his father.

Explanation

A patriarchal system gives men—especially fathers or male elders—authority in family and community life. Arranging marriages for most couples shows that the village’s traditional authorities control important family decisions. The other choices describe cultural diversity, a move to the city, or a son’s respect for his father, but do not demonstrate that kind of authority as directly.
