4. Which of the following best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead"? (Lines 11-14)

gtnhenbr [62]

The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author Claude McKay, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

"Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,

And see her might and granite wonders there,

Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,

Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
In conclusion, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.
