Step-by-step explanation:
The mistake that the Ibo people make in reference to the missionaries' arrival in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is option B) The Ibo fail to understand the missionaries' intentions.
When the missionaries arrive in the Ibo village, the Ibo people initially view them with curiosity and welcome them into their community. They fail to realize that the missionaries have a different purpose and agenda - to convert them to Christianity and change their way of life. This lack of understanding and awareness of their intentions ultimately leads to the destruction of their culture.
An example of this is seen in the character of Okonkwo's son, Nwoye, who converts to Christianity and turns against his own people. The Ibo people do not anticipate the missionaries' influence and the impact it will have on their society. option b is answer
