Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "Ikemefuna blunts Okonkwo’s anger toward Nwoye".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the novel "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe the character of Nwoye is of someone that does not follow the rigid masculinity that his father Okonkwo wants to teach him, masculinity often related with violence. Nwoye appreciate Ikemefuna's company, a boy from the Mbaino tribe that is different from his father because Ikemefuna blunts Okonkwo’s anger toward Nwoye. Ikemefuna helps Nwoye to become more masculine, which helps that Okonkwo anger diminish and accepts his son.
