The correct answer is A. The author uses humor to make a serious or controversial point in a nonthreatening way.

Explanation:

In writing, humor and satire are common literary devices used by authors to create a social critic about controversial issues or practices that occur in general society or specific areas such as government or church. This means by using humor and satire author can criticize negative aspects but avoiding being too aggressive or threatened as this can lead to negative critics or consequences for the author, for example, in satire it is common author use exaggeration to depict practices and ideas that are absurd but without directly stating a critic. Thus, the reason an author would use humor/satire in a text is to make a serious or controversial point in a non-threatening way.

Yes, the lady in Cullen's poem is a deeply prejudiced and ignorant person, who doesn't want to really get to know black people as they are. Those prejudices seem to be so deeply engraved in collective memory that black people are associated with slavery, menial jobs, and intellectual inferiority. Hurston argues that media have the power to solve this problem. Hurston writes: "It is assumed that all non-Anglo-Saxons are uncomplicated stereotypes. Everybody knows all about them. They are lay figures mounted in the museum where all may take them in at a glance. They are made of bent wires without insides at all. So how could anybody write a book about the non-existent?"

Similarly, in Cullen's short and poignant poem, the lady believes that even in heaven black people will be assigned the same kind of duty that they have on Earth, in her opinion. It's as if they aren't capable of doing anything else, nor are they entitled to anything else above that.
