Read the passage from "Marriage is a Private Affair by
Chinua Achebe.
Which statement about this passage best explains that the
village culture is patriarchal?
"Have you written to your dad yet?" asked Nene one
afternoon as she sat with Nnaemeka in her room at 16
Kasanga Street, Lagos,
"No. I've been thinking about it. I think it's better to tell him
when I get home on leave!"
O People from different tribes do not marry one another.
This does not describe the patriarchal system,
O Fathers in small villages arrange marriages for their
children.
Fathers are unhappy when their children become
engaged to be married.
"But why? Your leave is such a long way off yet six whole
weeks. He should be let into our happiness now.
Nnaemeka was silent for a while, and then began very
slowly as if he groped for his words: "I wish I were sure it
would be happiness to him."
"Of course it must," replied Nene, a little surprised. Why
shouldn't it?"
"You have lived in Lagos all your life, and you know very
little about people in remote parts of the country."
