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.

How does the revelation about Pollard's blindness in his right eye affect evalution of seabiscuit as a racing horse?
Reptile [31]
Despite that gift, however, Red continued to have only a middling career. Some of his failures were doubtless the result of an accident he had had sometime early in his career. While exercising a horse around a crowded track one morning, he had been hit in the head by something kicked up by another horse’s hooves. The blow damaged the part of his brain that controlled vision, permanently blinding him in the right eye. “Without bifocal vision,” explains author Laura Hillenbrand<span>, “you don’t have depth perception. So he couldn’t tell how far ahead of him horses were. He couldn’t tell how close he was cutting it. But he knew no fear. He rode right into the pack with one eye.” For the rest of his life, Pollard kept his blindness a secret, knowing that if track officials found out, they would never let him ride.
