objective
Based on the descriptions of the marketplace, the colonial architecture, and the references to the year 1895, determine the setting's time period and location, then explain how this setting shapes the protagonist's aspirations.
Answer Options
A.
The setting is Lagos, Nigeria, in the year 1920 during the post‑World War I British mandate. Although still under British control, the later date shifts the protagonist's aspirations toward nationalist politics rather than personal upward mobility.
B.
The setting is Accra, Ghana, in the year 1902 under German colonial rule. This backdrop of a coastal trade hub influences the protagonist to seek a career in maritime commerce rather than education.
C.
The setting is Kano, Nigeria, in the year 1880 under French colonial influence. The inland desert environment pushes the protagonist toward religious scholarship instead of modern schooling.
Correct Answer
D.
The setting is Lagos, Nigeria, in the year 1895 under British colonial rule. This environment, juxtaposing traditional market life with colonial modernity, drives the protagonist to aspire for education and upward social mobility, reflecting a desire to navigate both worlds.
