Hi,
Each of the following is a step for beginning a persuasive essay except, being prepared to read essay out loud so, the answer is C.
A. Carefully read the directions
The test will contain any directions about how to complete it. This is where any special information will be contained. Sometimes teachers will put directions about the format of the test and how to complete it on the study guide, but this isn't always true. A classmate is not necessarily a reliable source and, similar to the study guide, cannot be utilized when taking the test. Option D is also not a good choice since the test directions will have any special information about how to complete the test.
Answer:
The theme of the poem "Sympathy" is racism, and the imprisoning effect it has on the soul. In the poem, the poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar compares himself to a caged bird.
Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
