Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Okeke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.

"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”

"She is Nene Atang.”

"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”

"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.

When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.

"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.

Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?

Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.

Answer:

I think the 3rd one because it makes the most sense to me "Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes."

Answer:

true about black holes?
Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black
Holes?"
Within a circular boundary of about fifty miles from the
black hole center, gravity is so strong that massless
light cannot escape its pull. This boundary is called the
"theoretical event horizon." Imagine observing a black
hole from galaxies away. Light can be seen around the
event horizon but not within it. The universe is filled
with dim light drifting all around, but absolutely no light
can be seen inside a circular event horizon. Therefore,
the area inside is called a "black hole."
Even though there is light inside a black hole, it is
not visible.
Even though a black hole has gravity, there is
nothing inside a black hole.
A black hole can only be observed or detected at a
short distance.
A black hole only releases light that appears black
to the eyes.

In this passage from a lecture Ralph Waldo Emerson gave in 1837, he focuses on the role of books in education
from The American Scholar
It is remarkable, the character of the pleasure we derive from the best books. They impress us ever with the conviction that one nature
wrote and the same reads. We read the verses of one of the great English poets, of Chaucer, of Marvell, of Dryden, with the most modern joyz-with
a pleasure, I mean, which is in great part caused by the abstraction of all time from their verses. There is some awe mixed with the joy of our
surprise, when this poet, who lived in some past world, two or three hundred years ago, says that which lies close to my own soul, that which I also
had well-nigh thought and said,
