The day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. As we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice,

anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. It seemed to me that God himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. And it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.
Which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
A. It contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories Baldwin has about his father.
B. It interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
C. It compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death.
D. It ties Baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day.

Helllo,

Answer:

The “American Dream” has been a recurring theme in President Trump’s rhetoric. He invoked it in announcing his bid for the presidency, saying, “Sadly, the American Dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before and we will make America great again.” He celebrated its return in a speech in February to the Conservative Political Action Conference, saying, “The American Dream is back bigger, better and stronger than ever before.”

And recently, he has invoked it in his law-and-order-focused tweets, saying: “Suburban voters are pouring into the Republican Party because of the violence in Democrat run cities and states. If Biden gets in, this violence is ‘coming to the Suburbs’, and FAST. You could say goodbye to your American Dream!”

Of course, the American Dream is part of the political discourse for both the left and the right. Richard Nixon invoked the American Dream in accepting the Republican presidential nomination in 1968. Democrat Jimmy Carter mentioned it in his inaugural address in 1977. Ronald Reagan invoked it in his 1980s prime-time addresses to the nation. Barack Obama embraced it in his book “The Audacity of Hope.”
