PLS HEL When the egwugwu destroy Mr. Smith’s church, "for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified" (Ch. 22). Explain what the ironic implications of this statement are, since we learn the title of the book that the District Commissioner intends to write: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger (Ch. 25).

Euphemism that ¨backfires¨ and produces irony.

Explanation

The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger

is a euphemism for using whatever force it takes to control and suppress other peoples. It backfires because the same word Pacification is used to describe a violent (non-pacific) event, by the same people who are supposed to be pacified by force, that lead surprisingly to for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified.

the answer should be d) he was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion" since it is the best option because it shows his desire to free himself.

hope this answer you! have a great day.
