Fro the story "In Things Fall Apart", the author wrote about the character of an Igbo as a formal, archaic one. This is to let the audience feel "to illustrate how primitive the Igbo culture was" and "to convey the particular rhythm of the Igbo dialect". The answers are letters b and c. The rest of the answers do not match the question above.
