Answer:

C: She is elegant, refined, and quite unique or special.

A: “On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her.”

Explanation:

Maya Angelou's autobiography "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," tells about her early years, her childhood days. This novel is also a "coming-to-age" novel that covers her growing up years and the experiences/ encounters she had that led to her interest in books and writing.

Mrs. Bertha Flowers is the sophisticated, educated woman who Maya admires. She is the epitome of what a woman can be, and Maya thinks her to be even more beautiful than other white women. We can safely say that she is elegant, refined, and special/ unique. This is because Maya comments Mrs. Flowers is graceful, "On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her." 

Thus, the correct answers are options C and A.
