Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe."Ah, missisi de cry again. No need for dat. We done talk say we na good tief."

Answer
A
“Ah, I hear you crying again. You shouldn’t do that. We will make the thieves go away.”
B
“Ah, your wife is crying again. There is no need for that. We said we were good thieves.”
C
“Ah, your kids are crying again. There is no need for that. We will make the thieves go away.”
D
“Ah, your wife is crying again. We will call the other thieves over here if she doesn’t stop.”

Explanation

“Missisi” means “Mrs.” or “wife,” and “de cry again” means she is crying again. “No need for dat” means there is no need for that, while “We done talk say we na good tief” means “We already said we were good thieves.” So the best translation is “your wife is crying again” and “we said we were good thieves.”
