There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.
One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.
Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.
Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.
Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.
However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.
The correct answer is C. Overgeneralization.
Explanation
The fallacy of overgeneralization is a type of fallacy that is characterized by hastily establishing a consequence of a fact without logically reasoning about it. For example, the sentence in the question is a fallacy of overgeneralization because establishing how will be a person's day only for consuming a product in the morning lacks reasoning and evidence. This fallacy as in this example is widely used by industries to get the attention of buyers offering them some good effect just by using the products they sell. So, the correct answer is C. Overgeneralization.
Correction!!! I read this over a few more times and I think it is the fourth one because it says "words that were once considered slang are now words of full, legitimate standing in our language." It's talking about the the past tense and present tense of slang. So sorry for the confusion
