Mr. Smith, who is fanatical and intolerant

Answer 2

After the first head of the Christians leaves because of poor health, he is replaced by Mr. Smith, who is fanatical and intolerant.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Chinua Achebe, one of the most prominent African writers received fame by his novel Things Fall Apart based on post colonialism. In this novel Achebe emphasizes about the white Christian missionaries to come on an invading mission to Africa and convert the pagan Africans forcefully into Christians.

Through the character of Mr. Smith who is fanatical and intolerant, Achebe exposes the true nature of these missionaries. The replacement was because Mr. Smith wanted rapid and massive conversion of the Africans so that they might abide by the white Christian rules. It is an instance of the post-colonial effect the whites had on Africa.
