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.

Answer:excuses

Explanation:Kayla is making accusations and unnecessary excuses which I believe are not real the cause of her failing because in schools teachers are always trained to keep their religious faith apart from their work activities and even if they fail to do that she could go for remarking if when she checks her books she really confirms that her answers were right.

b. dead members of the community in their graves , this is the correct option.

Thomay Gray, a XVIII English poet, is contemplating the situation: the source of inspiration of his poem ,"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". Through this elegy, he will lament death but the villagers' death mainly. "The rude forefathers of the hamlet ......", this line refers to the simple ancestors from the town, who are the poor villagers. These are buried in the churchyard: " narrow cell forever laid...// ...sleep.."

The following options are wrong:

a. the townspeople asleep in their beds . The poet uses metaphorical language ; he uses the word "sleep" to mean dead.

c. prisoners in the town jail . The poet uses the word "cells" metaphorically to mean graves. He also uses the word "rude" to mean simple.

d. townspeople who died in prison. Same explanation as above.
