Which of the following combinations is correct of the novel Arrow of God ?
a. Arrow of God is a direct sequel to Things Fall Apart.
b. Arrow of God is about tribal society and its proverbs.
c. Colonial administration and Christian churches are intrusions in the traditional life in Arrow of God.
d. The destruction of the traditional culture is the main theme of the novel Arrow of God.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Chinua Achebe's 'Arrow of God' (1964) portrays Igbo tribal society and its rich use of proverbs (b), the intrusion of British colonial administration and Christian churches into traditional life (c), and the resulting crisis and destruction of traditional cultural authority (d). Statement a is false because 'Arrow of God' is not a direct sequel to 'Things Fall Apart' ('No Longer at Ease' continues Okonkwo's family line). Thus only b, c & d are correct.
