from chinua achebe, things fall apart. copyright 1959 by chinua achebe
how does mr. brown win over the people of umuofia?
he appeals to their desire to learn more about european culture.
he appeals to their desire for spiritual fulfillment and eternal life.
he appeals to their desire to grow and modernize.

Explanation:

In "Things Fall Apart", Mr. Brown, the missionary, wins over the people of Umuofia by appealing to their spiritual inclinations. He presents Christianity as a path to spiritual fulfillment and eternal life, which resonates with some of the Igbo people's own spiritual curiosities and needs, unlike the more forceful or dismissive approaches of other colonizers. The option about European culture is incorrect as he doesn't focus on promoting European culture for its own sake, and the modernization appeal is not his primary method—his focus is spiritual.

Answer:

He appeals to their desire for spiritual fulfillment and eternal life.
