A short story is something that's not like a book. It only has short amount of details of what goes on and who is who...etc...
B. To explain how she felt about being discriminated against not only because of her race but also because of her gender.
I don't see a poem, but I can tell you how to determine the meter of a poem.
The meter of a poem is determined by the last word in a line.
For example,
Roses are red, A
Violets are blue, B
sugar is sweet, C
And so are you. B
You rhymes with blue so so they are both blue.
Tell me if you need more info:D
Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.
