Which of the following explains why Nkrumah feels Africa must “avoid all the dangers inherent in disunity”?

(A) African nations will not achieve independence without unity. (B) Disunity is what originally led many African nations into disarray. (C) The African continent has already experienced its share of civil wars. (D) The world community sees power as a function of size and influence.Explanation: Nkrumah states that a unified Africa “will command respect from a world that has regard only for size and influence.” Most African nations had achieved independence by this point, making (A) incorrect. Choice (B) is incorrect because the disarray of African countries experienced in the middle of the twentieth century stemmed from colonization, not disunity. Choice (C) is unrelated to the point Nkrumah is making, so eliminate it. Choice (D) is the answer.
