Answer:

D. Poverty isolates African Americans from the mainstream of American society.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the meaning of the excerpt. In these lines, the author presents an image of isolation when it comes to African Americans. We learn that African Americans are on an "island" which is surrounded by material property. The implication is that African Americans as a group are poorer than other groups in society, and that this isolates them in the same way as if they were located on an island.

Imagine that you were writing a poem about this vase. What topics would you discuss? Check all that apply. beauty imagination cr
Bond [772]

The question says 'this' vase. But there isn't any picture of the vase provided here. So I'm considering it as 'the' vase, an ordinary vase, and based of that I'm providing an explanation.

Answer: Option A, Option B, Option C, Option F.

Explanation:

If I would be writing a poem on vase then I would mostly certainly include the topics of beauty, imagination, creativity, and art.

A vase is a container for displaying flowers, which symbolizes beauty. The poem will include the beautiful description of the vase. Creativity and art go hand in hand. There should also be the inclusion of the structure of the vase, its color, and its appealing design.

A good poem is the one where the poet uses his creative imagination. A poem is nothing without imagination. And thus inclusion of this topic is mandatary. With my own imagination I would try to illustrate the vase from a different perspective, thus giving the poem a meaning.
