The answer you are looking for is option A. He fills his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm.

In "Civil Peace", by Chinua Achebe, the story is told from the point of view of an Igbo Nigerian Soldier because Achebe believed that the African story must be told by an African writer. The historical background for the story is the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War, which took place from 1967 to 1970.

In "Civil Peace", Achebe changes traditional English, often using a combination of English with LGBT language.

Answer from: ToonGamesToo

In Achebe's "Civil Peace," it is often said that he uses his language to form a "new English." Achebe does this by filling his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm. Though he doesn't seemingly create a totally new language, what he comes up with is different enough from traditional English to be termed a new form of the language.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play’s conclusion? oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility. while teiresias appears to be mocking oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king. oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man. just as oedipus is unable to conceive that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is impermanent.
