The best answer is: C. Adah's desire for personal fulfilment
Here's why the other options are less likely:
A. Adah's unfaithfulness to Francis: There's no evidence in the novel that Adah is unfaithful.
B. the influence of British culture: While Adah faces challenges in Britain due to racism, the main reason for the marriage breakdown lies in Francis's controlling behavior and Adah's growing independence.
D. external pressures on the couple: External pressures like financial strain exist, but the core issue is the clash between Francis's traditional expectations and Adah's desire for agency.
Adah's marriage crumbles because she seeks personal fulfillment through education, financial independence, and control over her body. This directly clashes with Francis's patriarchal views where he sees Adah as subservient and a vehicle for childbearing. Her drive for personal growth ultimately leads her to leave the failing marriage.
It's supposed to be D not A because Francis was the one that cheated on her okay pls kindly give me a feedback 😭
