Answer:

D. A simple misunderstanding can easily spin out of control.

Explanation:

According to the book "The Night The Ghost Got In" by James Thurber, it is narrated by James Thurber of events that happened when he was a kid.

He recalls coming out of the bathtub by 1:15 am and hearing footsteps downstairs. At first he is convinced that it is a relative but when the footsteps don't stop after some time, he becomes scared. His mother's attention is drawn to it and she also says she heard the footsteps so they become convinced they have burglars in the house.

They call the police and when the police arrive, they cannot find any signs of forced entry, neither can they find any burglar, and in the course of their search, they encounter the grandfather in the attic who has PTSD from the war and grabs the gun of one of the officers and shoots him.

The theme of this story is that a simple misunderstanding can easily spin out of control.

Answer:

This poem shows the problem of how African Americans were treated and Cullen's comment is that he does not lose hope, that this will change.

Explanation:

Cullen reflects on these lines that African Americans are somehow oppressed by whites. "We shall not always plant while others reap", "Not always bend to some more subtle brute".

This problem will come to an end, since they will not wait forever or continue to suffer.

"We were not made to eternally weep.", "So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds, And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds. "

Here it is shown how Cullen transmits hope in his words, showing that they will wait, since they will not suffer forever.
