Answer:

It provides a hopeful image that suggests that Kahlo was not restrained by her condition.

Explanation:

From the attached image, we can understand that Kahlo was injured and broke her spine in several places and despite several surgeries, she would live with pain for the rest of her life and would require a corset to hold her spine in place.

The excerpt from the poem says,

"who painted herself a present

wildflowers entwining the plastic corset

her spine resides in, that flaming pillar"

We can see that the imagery depicts a hopeful image that Kahlo is not restrained or held back by her condition because she "painted herself a present" and the line about wildflowers shows that while the situation is an unplanned one, she still has hope as she describes her spine as a "flaming pillar".

A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild that was not planted by anyone and it symbolizes the forced condition of wearing the corset

mars1129 [50]

Answer: D. Take up the White Man's burden— And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—

"The White Man's Burden" is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling. The "burden" refers to the responsibilities Kipling believed colonizers had towards colonized people. From his point of view, the societies that were colonized benefitted greatly from becoming colonies. England provided them with education, technology, health care, a new political system, etc. All things that Kipling believed every society needed and benefitted from.

In this line, Kipling argues that part of the burden is not being appreciated for your contribution. He says that those that you "better" (improve) or "guard" (protect) end up blaming you and hating you. He means that locals end up resenting and hating the colonizers, despite their contributions. He considers this part of the "white man's burden."
