Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" focuses on differing views on marriage partner choice between urban (Lagos) and rural contexts, and also touches on tribal (Ibo) considerations, but the key historical context here is the differing opinions on marriage partner selection between large cities and rural villages. Option A is about opinions of Ibo tribe members, not marriage choice. Option B is about Ibos vs non - Ibos on marriage choice, but the passage's main contrast is urban - rural. Option D is about living in cities, not marriage choice. Option C correctly identifies that people in large cities and rural villages had different opinions on how to choose marriage partners, as seen from Nnaemeka's and Nene's conversation about arranged marriages and tribal differences in the context of urban (Lagos) and rural areas.
# Answer:
C. People in large cities and rural villages had different opinions of how people should choose marriage partners.
