B. To explain how she felt about being discriminated against not only because of her race but also because of her gender.
Answer:
D. The speaker, having experienced adversity, regards hope in a positive light, as it
never asked anything of him/her
Explanation:
This question refers to Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope Is The Thing With Feathers".
In the poem, the author uses metaphor, or, more precisely, extended metaphor to compare hope to a bird. Sweet singing of the bird can be heard even in the biggest storms which suggests that hope is always there, even in the hardest periods in life.
The last stanza tells us that the bird can be seen everywhere (the chilliest land and the strangest see) but it (the bird) never asks for anything of us, not a single crumb.
That means that it's not an effort to hope for something, it doesn't cost us anything, it doesn't make us a problem. One should always hope and the bird will forever sing to us, not asking for anything in return.

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
Question: In the above excerpt, which words best establish immediacy?
A) "White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape."
B) "… that I should be free."
C) "I pretended not to be interested in what they said."
D) There is no immediacy.
Answer:
The words that best establish immediacy are:
B) "… that I should be free."
Explanation:
<u>By definition, immediacy is the quality of creating excitement and a sense of urgency by involving someone instantly. Now, imagine being a slave and wishing nothing more than freedom. If someone told you to run away "...that [you] should be free," can you imagine how you would feel? The excitement this would bring? The urgency to escape and finally get rid of the cruelties done to you? For that reason, letter B is the best option. "...that I should be free" are the words that create a sense of immediacy.</u>
