Read the excerpt below and answer the question. at last the day came by which all the missionaries should have died. but they were still alive, building a new red-earth and thatch house for their teacher, mr. kiaga. that week they won a handful more converts. (p. 151) the excerpt above suggests a. the igbo people are ignorant and foolish b. some of the igbo’s traditions and beliefs are working against them c. the missionaries are being deceptive d. the missionaries have secret powers

B. some of the Igbo’s traditions and beliefs are working against them.

Explanation:

In this passage, we see that the Igbo are convinced about the fact that their gods would not allow defiance for more than seven weeks. Therefore, they wait for this time to pass, thinking that the missionaries will not survive after this date. However, they do. Their own belief works against the Igbo, because this is taken as a sign of the enormous power of the missionaries, allowing them to gain more converts.
