Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) "Only help her to believe – help make it so there is cause for her to believe that she is more than this dress on the ironing board, helpless before the iron."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this brilliant story by American writer Tillie Olsen (1912-2007) is the story of a repentant mother, who recalls with bitterness the difficult upbringing of one of her children, Emily, but who, like all mothers do, hopes the best for her child, now a young adult who, against all odds, has managed to survive and is finding her way as a comedian. She knows that her daughter has the potential to excel, but she may not realize it, after all, since conditions are not favourable to her—their economic resources are still limited, and Emily has the emotional baggage of having been raised feeling neglected and discouraged. However, Emily's mom still hopes for the best, hence her final statement: let my daughter believe that, in spite of her terrible childhood, she still has reasons to be hopeful about her future.

The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realisti
Kipish [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the following excerpt from "Madam and the Rent Man" by Langston Hughes.

He said, Madam,

I ain't pleased!

I said, Neither am I.

So we agrees!

The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it

A.reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.  B.avoids using informal language, which is not appropriate for poems.  C.provides a standard rhyme within the stanza, which makes the poem easier to understand.  D.shows a bond between Madam and the rent man that suggests they will resolve their differences.

Answer:

A. reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.

Explanation:

When the poet decided to use slang in the poem, he wanted to establish a language closer to the readers, so he decided to write in a more informal tone and using common words from the daily lives of people.

This, in addition to bringing the text closer to the reader, allows the reader to read something in a more familiar and realistic language, increasing their understanding of the work.
