Answer:
b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.
Explanation:
The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete <em>was</em> penalized', 'the child <em>was</em> fed', 'he <em>was</em> convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.

Answer:
The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity.
Explanation:
<em>Child of the Americas</em> is a poem written by Aurora Levins Morales. It is written from the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognizable by the use of pronouns <em>I</em> and<em> we.</em> The speaker tells about their feelings or events they go through from their own perspective. We can notice this in the given poem starting from the first line: <em>I am a child of the Americas...</em>
Throughout the poem, she tells about her cultural identity and claims ownership of it. She tells about how mixed the culture that surrounds her is and in what way. There is no mention of racism in this poem.
This is why the third option is the correct one.
