Read the excerpt from “i dream a world” by langston hughes.

a world i dream where black or white,
whatever race you be,
will share the bounties of the earth
and every man is free,
where wretchedness will hang its head
and joy, like a pearl,
attends the needs of all mankind—
of such i dream, my world!

based on the dreams that the speaker describes, it is reasonable to infer that the speaker
a. is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

b. will do whatever is necessary to gain equality for all.

c. lives in a time and place where equality does not exist.

d. has given up the idea that one day all people will be treated the same

C. lives in a time and place where equality does not exist.

In the poem the speaker is dreaming of a world where equality for all exists. He says, "Whatever race you be,/ Will share the bounties of the earth/And every man is free". Since this universal equality is in his dreams, we can infer that it does not exist in reality. The other options are wrong because the speaker doesn't indicate that he enjoys freedom, he doesn't show he is doing anything to gain freedom except dream, and the hopeful tone of the poem means he hasn't given up on equality.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
