Answer:

B. The people's lives are difficult, but they pretend to feel joy when others can see.

Explanation:

Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "We Wear the Mask" refers to or talks about people who hide behind a mask to show the side that people want to see. But deep beneath the mask of happiness and smile that people can see, there is pain and suffering and crying, which is hidden so well by the mask.

The speaker talks about suffering which <em>"hides our cheeks and shades our eyes"</em>. He then went on to state <em>"We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries / To thee from tortured souls arise."</em> And when he says <em>"We sing, but oh the clay is vile / Beneath our feet, and long the mile;" </em>he seems to say that <u>despite the hardships faced by them, they will pretend to be joyful and show a happy face that everyone expects and wants to see</u>, and he will hide his true feelings behind the mask.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Lera25 [3.4K]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>How is Romeo able to secure an invitation?</em>

<em>A Capulet servant, sent on the errand to deliver his master's party invitations, bumps into Romeo and Benvolio. The servant cannot read and so asks Romeo to read the invitation for him. ... The servant, unknowing that Benvolio and Romeo are from the Montague family, invites them both to come along.</em>

<em />

<em>Why does he want one?</em>

<em>Benvolio wants to help Romeo let go of his obsession with Rosaline, and he explains that, while at the party, Romeo will be able to compare her to other girls and realize she is not the most beautiful. Romeo, on the other hand, says he will go to the party just so he can see Rosaline, the woman he believes he loves. </em>

To Kill A Mockingbird:
Virty [35]

Answer: The three things that Scout mentioned during Chapter 27 included: Helen Robinson being stalked and harrassed by Bob Ewell. Judge Taylor discovering a prowler on his back porch, where "A shadow on the corner of the house caught his eye." It was probably Bob Ewell again, seeking revenge against the judge. By the middle of October, Bob Ewell gets a job with the WPA, one of the Depression job programs, and loses it a few days later. He blames Atticus for “getting” his job. ... Bob Ewell then begins to follow Helen Robinson to work, keeping his distance but whispering obscenities at her.
