Explanation:

Question 3

To solve this, we analyze the context. The critic uses Okonkwo's character to counter the European narrative that portrays African societies as primitive. "Reprove" means to criticize or condemn, which fits as Achebe would criticize this simplistic narrative. "Dissect" is about analyzing, "ignore" is opposite, "withdraw" doesn't fit. So "reprove" is correct.

The text talks about some influencers being effective and others not. The blank refers to this difference. "Disparity" means a difference or inequality, which matches. "Apathy" is lack of interest, "enthusiasm" is excitement, "diligence" is hard work—none fit the context of differing effectiveness.

Answer:

D. reprove
