Explanation:

In the context of the passage from "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, we need to find the appropriate meaning of "accorded". "Accorded" can mean to give or grant something. Among the options, "granted" is the closest in meaning. "Discouraged" means to try to prevent or dissuade, "restored" means to bring back to a previous condition, and "stripped of" means to be deprived of.
