Question

read the excerpt from \the danger of single story\ by chimamanda ngozi adichie. this single story of africa ultimately comes, i think, from western literature. now, here is a quote from the writing of a london merchant called john lok, who sailed to west africa in 1561 and kept a fascinating account of his voyage. after referring to the black africans as \beasts who have no houses,\ he writes, \they are also people without heads, having their mouth and eyes in their breasts.\ now, ive laughed every time ive read this. and one must admire the imagination of john lok. which feeling is adichie most likely trying to create with the use of meiosis in the excerpt? outrage disbelief guilt admiration

Explanation:

Meiosis is an over - exaggeration for effect. The quote from John Lok is extremely false and dehumanizing. Adichie presents it to evoke a strong negative reaction. Outrage is the most fitting feeling as it shows the extreme wrongness of such a single - story view of Africa.

Answer:

outrage
