E) He wrote the essay “An Abolition of English Department.”
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A, B and C only.

Let us analyze each statement individually to understand why this is the correct option:

Statement A: He wrote Arrow of God and Things Fall Apart.
This statement is correct. Chinua Achebe is one of the most celebrated African novelists. Things Fall Apart (published in 1958) is his masterpiece, and Arrow of God (published in 1964) is another of his major novels. Together with No Longer at Ease, they form his famous African Trilogy.

Statement B: His “Novelist as Teacher” is a seminal essay in the context of African Literature.
This statement is correct. In his 1965 essay "The Novelist as Teacher", Achebe argues that writers in post-colonial societies have an educational role to play. He asserts that literature should help African readers regain belief in their own dignity and cultural heritage after years of colonial denigration.

Statement C: The name of the tribe he depicted in Things Fall Apart is Igbo.
This statement is correct. The novel is set in southeastern Nigeria and depicts the lives, traditions, and social structures of the Igbo people (also historically spelled Ibo) before and during the arrival of European colonialists and missionaries.

Statement D: He is a Kenyan born American litterateur.
This statement is incorrect. Chinua Achebe was born in Ogidi, Nigeria, and is a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic, not Kenyan. (Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o is an example of a prominent Kenyan writer).

Statement E: He wrote the essay “An Abolition of English Department.”
This statement is incorrect. The famous paper titled "On the Abolition of the English Department" was co-authored by the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, along with Henry Owuor-Anyumba and Taban Lo Liyong, in 1968 at the University of Nairobi.

Therefore, statements A, B, and C are true, making A, B and C only the correct option.
