Answer 1

The statement that correctly analyzes this passage in terms of its historical context is:

"Nene realizes immediately that her marriage to Nnaemeka will cause conflict in his family."

This statement reflects the cultural and societal norms of the historical context in which the passage is likely set. In many traditional and conservative societies, such as those in various parts of Africa during different historical periods, arranged marriages and adherence to family values were of great importance. When a member of the family chose a spouse against the wishes of the family or when the chosen spouse came from a different cultural or social background, it often resulted in conflicts and challenges within the family. Therefore, Nene's realization of the potential conflict aligns with the historical context of cultural and familial expectations.

The correct statement regarding historical context is that Nene recognizes the potential for conflict with Nnaemeka's family due to cultural differences, as seen in references to African societal norms and relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that correctly analyzes the passage in terms of its historical context is that: Nene realizes immediately that her marriage to Nnaemeka will cause conflict in his family. This analysis is supported by various references reflecting the tensions caused by cultural differences and expectations in African societies. The passages suggest that an understanding of one's own culture and the culture of others can significantly impact relationships and perceptions. The mention of polygyny and extended family in West African societies demonstrates the potential for conflict when these traditional values clash with values from different cultures or social backgrounds.
