Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage contrasts Nnaemeka's view (from a more traditional/rural - influenced perspective) with Nene's (from a cosmopolitan/city - influenced perspective) on marriage. Nnaemeka mentions that in remote (rural) areas, people are unhappy if the engagement is not arranged by them and the situation is worse as Nene is not an Ibo. Nene, who has lived in Lagos (a large city), finds the idea that tribe determines marriage a joke. This shows a contrast between large - city (cosmopolitan) and rural views on choosing marriage partners.

Answer:

People in large cities and rural villages had different opinions of how people should choose marriage partners.
