Answer:

B). To explain how she felt about being discriminated against not only because of her race but also because of her gender.

Explanation:

Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first one to take part in United States' presidential debate. In the given excerpt from her speech, the most likely purpose of her seems that black women were being doubly discriminated against. She relates her experience that displays that the black women were being discriminated not only because of their color but also because of their gender in the political world at her time. Edward Said calls this '<em>double marginalization</em>'(In Orientalism, 1978) that causes dual suffering for the black women. Thus, <em>the correct answer is option B.</em>

I was so filled with sorrow and tenderness I could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig! Thus I fled, ridiculous hai

<em><u>The answer is the second option, "Grendel is emotional and sensitive".</u></em>

We can see that Grendel is showing his feeling through this poem and according to the tone of the poem (which is condescending and kind of love) we can deduce that Grendel is being emotional and sensitive.

It is also shown literally when Grendel is being emotional and it would be: <em>"I was so filled with sorrow and tenderness"</em>  and sensitive when he says: <em>"I could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig! </em>
