Why is Okonkwo punished by Ezeani, the priest of the earth goddess? He beat his wife during the Week of Peace. He refused to take part in Ikemefuna’s killing. He got drunk during the Feast of the New Yam. He planted his yam crops before receiving Ezeani’s blessing.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. He beat his wife during the week of peace.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo commits several crimes against the female deity of the earth. This time, he beats his wife Ojiujo because she left thir house without having prepared dinner. By doing so, he breaks the peace of the sacred week in an offence known as nso-ani.
