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.
The repetition of the phrase causes the reader to consider the rhetorical question in the context of the text.

Answer:

. The boy comprehends that, despite his best efforts, he cannot escape time, and he too will become a part of history.

Explanation:

The boy dislikes the idea that the whole family has been keeping their mementos in the chest. He does not want to feel engaged into looking into the contents. "f...contents of the chest never came quite clear,.....because he didn't want to know."; "....but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him...", these words reflect the boy's feelings towards the passage of time , but these seem to be senseless when he gets shocked on coming across his own drawings. He drew them when he was five.

Answer: The Belgian colonial occupation had a much more lasting effect in Rwanda. The most lasting effect was how the colonial authorities racialized the differences between Hutu, Twa and Tutsi[vi]. Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962, but the post-colonial period was marred by ethnically motivated violence.
