"awrighto. now make we talk business. we no be bad tief. we no like for make trouble. trouble done finish. war done finish and all the katakata wey de for inside. no civil war again. this time na civil peace. no be so? "

what is ironic about the lines above?

they are being said by a violent thief threating others with automatic rifles.
the violence is actually worse now that the war is over.
during the war, the violence was committed by people. now, it is commited by nature.
violence is encouraged in nigerian culture, so it would exist both in war and during peace.

yup the answer is A just took the test!

answers to the test:

answer one

1. "My friends," began Jonathan hoarsely. "I hear what you say and I thank you. If I had one hundred pounds . . ."

2. "Lookia my frien, no be play we come play for your house. If we make mistake and step for inside you no go like am-o."

Which of the following is the best translation of line 2?

letter C is the right answer "Look here my friend, it's not an accident that we came to your house. If we come inside and find that we are mistaken, we won't shoot you."

answer two:

As soon as the pound notes were placed in his palm Jonathan simply closed it tight over them and buried fist and money inside his trouser pocket. He had to be extra careful because he had seen a man a couple of days earlier collapse into near madness in an instant before that oceanic crowd because no sooner had he got his twenty pounds than some heartless ruffian picked it off him. Though it was not right that a man in such an extremity of agony should be blamed yet many in the queues that day were able to remark quietly at the victim's carelessness, especially after he pulled out the innards of his pocket and revealed a hole in it big enough to pass a thief's head. But of course he had insisted that the money had been in the other pocket, pulling it out too to show its comparative wholeness. So one had to be careful.

What do you think motivates the "many in the queues" to blame the man for being robbed? Mention both implied and explicit details and defend both using evidence from the story.

answer-They were afraid and worried. They didn't want harm to come to them.

annswer 3:

Chinua Achebe believes that "[l]iterature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print, gives us a second handle on reality." Using the story "Civil Peace" as evidence, defend or refute (argue against) Achebe's opinion.

answer- In the work, “What Has Literature Got To Do With It” Chinua Achebe emphasizes his belief that literature is much more than just a creative form of expression, arguing that it is a necessary and vital contribution to everyday life. Achebe explains how “Literature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print; gives us a second handle on reality”(117). It does so by providing the essential building blocks toward development, or as he calls it, “modernization.” In other words, Achebe argues that, in order for African nations to prosper and become successful, their first “goal” should be to understand literature.

answer 4-My frien," said he at long last, "we don try our best for call dem but I tink say dem all done sleep-o . . . So wetin we go do now? Sometaim you wan call soja? Or you wan make we call dem for you? Soja better pass police. No be so?"

Which of the following is the best translation of the tief-man's words?

answer- D -We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep. What do you want to do now? Would you like to call for soldiers? Want us to call them for you? Soldiers are better than police, right?"
