I don’t have the excerpt you’re referring to — could you paste it? That will let me pick the best answer.
If you can’t, here’s a short guide: Achebe typically develops his claim by both listing reasons and by citing specific passages from Conrad to support those reasons. He also anticipates and refutes counterarguments, and he states his central claim early (not at the end). So the most likely correct choices are either “He lists reasons that support his claim” or “He cites evidence from the text to support his claim,” depending on whether the excerpt focuses more on explanation (reasons) or on quotation/close reading (evidence).
