Read the following poem "America" by Claude McKay before you choose your answer. "Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And

sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth. Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate, Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand." Which of the following best describes the poem as a whole? (5 points) A humorous satire of American culture A poetic expression describing the endurance of African-Americans A poignant description of the strengths and faults of America A philosophical rant blasting ignorance in America

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually "to fake."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that one of the meanings of the verb to affect is to feign, which can be translated as to pretend or to give a false appearance of something. If the character was trying to "conceal certain inconvenient emotions" which, nevertheless, "seemed inclined to assert themselves" by affecting high spirits, he was, therefore, faking those high spirits, in order to hide his true feelings from the people who had just arrived.

Delvig [45]
It seems like the answer is B. throughout the story, we can see that Amak is very passionate about getting food for his family to eat. A seems unlikely as even though the end of the story shows references to him crying, it doesn’t contribute to the main idea of the story. C and D seem unlikely for the same reason.
