Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

Okonkwo was deeply grieved. And it was not just a personal grief. He mourned for the clan, which he was breaking and falling apart, and he mourned for the warlike men of Umuofia, who had unaccountably become soft like women.

In the excerpt above, the words soft like women most clearly show Okonkwo's _________.

A. fear

B. lust

C. grief

D. disgust

Respuesta :

D. disgust


The phrase "soft like women" shows that the men of Umuofia have changed and become less masculine. Okonkwo is proud of his clan and the strength of his people. However, when he returns things have fallen apart. They are no longer the clan he once knew which deeply saddens him. The men are initially described as warlike but then in the same sentence described as being like women. This change disgusts Okonkwo.

disgust.
