In "Things Fall Apart," one religious practice of the people of Umuofia is the practice of animal sacrifice.

They describe sacrificing a rooster before planting crops. The sacrifice is dedicated to Ani, the owner of all land. A rooster is also sacrificed to Ifejioku, the god of yams. 

This practice is culturally significant because the sacrifice is meant to ensure good crops. Ultimately, these sacrifices ensure the health of the village, since if the crops fail, the villagers will be without a large part of their food supply. Since the crops are so essential to the villagers' health, the sacrifice has a great cultural significance.

  • The slowing of the pace creates suspense for readers about what is to come.
  • The slowing of the pace gives readers details about the storm and its aftermath.​

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Well known in London social and literary circles during his lifetime, Sancho achieved lasting fame with the posthumous publication of his Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African. The 158 letters collected in this volume cover a wide range of subjects—including literature, politics, and race—and offer Sancho's unique perspective as a former slave and one of the only middle-class Black men living in eighteenth-century London. Sancho's letters also reveal him to be a man of generosity, warmth, and humor who enjoyed the company of friends from many different stations in life. In his own day, Sancho was thought of as “the extraordinary Negro,” and to eighteenth-century British opponents of the slave trade he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans, something that at the time was disputed by many.
