The correct answer is option A:  Short words and hard consonants create a sense of angry uncertainty.

In this poem, Hughes expressed "Harlem" in 1951, and it is one of his most basic topics - the impediments of the American Dream for African Americans.

Harlem, also called A Dream Deferred, is a 11-line poem written by Langston Hughes, published in 1951 as part of his Montage of a Dream Deferred, an extended poem cycle about life in Harlem.

A. Short words and hard consonants create a sense of angry uncertainty.

Which example would most likely be considered satirical?
klemol [59]
In my opinion, the correct answer would be <span>C. In a newspaper, a headline reads "Policy Gets Green Light for No Parking Zone Changes." This would be a very satirical example because it uses the idiom that associates traffic and especially traffic jams ("to get a green light" = to be approved, to pass a bill, etc.) in a headline telling us that the parking zones will remain the same (which probably means that the traffic will continue to be chaotic). Satire is, in fact, a use of humor that ridicules people's ways. It most often ridicules politics, governments, social vices of people. This satirical example functions along the same lines, ridiculing the policy (and consequently, the short-sightedness of those who carry this policy).</span>
