Answer: C. she worked as a women's suffrage worker
Explanation:
Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an American poet, singer and civil rights activist. Angelou was also an actress, director and producer of television programs, movies and plays. In 1969, she wrote an autobiography - <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. </em>However, she was not a women's suffrage worker, as women were already given the right to vote in 1920, eight years before Angelou was born.
By the nineteenth century, some of the ancient English families had lost their power, wealth, and influence.
In the passage Tess and Angel are looking at an old house once owned by the d'Urbervilles. Angel says, "There is something very sad in the extinction of a family of renown, even if it was fierce, domineering, feudal renown." This shows that some of the families that were once powerful in England have lost their power, wealth, and influence.
