Question
Read the following sentences from the story "Loyalties."
I was twelve years old at the time. One afternoon my father came rushing home earlier than usual.
"Wife," he shouted to my mother who was out the back preparing food; "wife, have you not heard the news?" He was so excited he went rushing through the house. I followed him.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a grown man like you rushing around like a small boy? What is it?" my mother said.
"Ojukwu has announced the new state of Biafra. We are no longer Nigerians, you hear? We are now Biafrans," he said and smiled.
"And what then?" my mother asked.
"Woman, don't you know what you are saying? Don't you realize that this is an important day, an historic occasion?"
My mother stood up and put her hands on her hips. Her face was streaming from the heat of the fire. "Whether we are in Nigeria or whether we are in Biafra we are almost out of firewood," she said.
Using the ideas in these sentences, the reader can most likely conclude that the mother
a. does not respect the politics of Ojukwu.
b. regards her husband as foolish and impulsive.
c. would rather work at the fire than listen to her husband.
d. takes a more practical view of political change than her husband.
I know it's not d. and I don't think it's b. or a. I think it's c, but I'm really, really not sure. Please help? Thanks

Why isn't it d?
Well, now that you mention it, I suppose it could be d since she isn't as ecstatic as he when it comes to politics and she is "practical" about the change. Do you think it's d, Ms. Sue?
Ms. Sue
Yes. It makes no difference to her what country they are in. What is important is that they need more firewood to finish cooking the meal. Her life revolves around cooking and taking care of her family.
Okay, I see. Thank you, Ms. Sue:)
