Explanation:

Question 31

To determine the meaning of "wily", we analyze the options: "Cowardly and fearful" is incorrect (wily is not about fear). "Physically strong" is wrong (wily relates to mental traits). "Respected and admired" is not the meaning of wily. "Cunning and crafty" matches the definition of wily (shrewd, sly).

Analyzing the options: The first option is incorrect (no indication wrestling is sacred/religious). The second option fits as the society (from the passage, likely related to Okonkwo's Igbo society) values personal achievement (like wrestling success) and physical strength. The third is wrong (they value physical prowess). The fourth is incorrect (competition like wrestling between villages is shown, so they don't discourage it).

Answer:

D. Cunning and crafty
