Answer 1

Answer: d.The length of these elements reflects and stresses the importance of the speakers' actions.

Explanation:

The poem We Real Cool  by Gwendolyn Brooks speaks of the actions of a what we can assume are a group of teenagers. They skip school, they play pool, they stay out late and they drink strong liquor and so they think they are cool but know they will die soon.

We learn all these from very short lines and stanzas which were done that way to stress the importance of the actions of the teenagers. Gwendolyn Brooks did not want the actions of the speaker to be lost in a lot of words but instead wanted the actions of the speaker to be well pronounced such that the reader understands the impact that the actions of the speaker could have on them.
