Which of the following is most likely why Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart in the style he did?

1) When he wrote Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe was drawing on a number of prior novels written in English by native Africans.

2) Chinua Achebe claimed he wanted to create a realistic portrait of the Igbo people.

3) The novel is written in Igbo which makes it accessible to a wider audience, but the English words keep the characters connected to England.

4) Achebe creates a sense of place and character in Things Fall Apart is through the use of poetry.
