Answer: The right answer is the A) Rich imagery that appeals to the readers’ senses.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by using a descriptive language—pavement <em>sparkling with sunlight</em>, pigeons <em>fluttering off the curb </em>and nodding over <em>a profusion of bread crumbs</em>—the poet Billy Collins is trying to appeal to the reader's senses (sound, sight, and even smell) with the goal of recreating the scene in a clear and persuasive way. The speaker is listening to music and he is in good spirits, and he wants to share his upbeat mood with the reader.

klasskru [66]
I would say the answer is D.
This is because of the way she talks about how she is uncomfortable with the hijab in the begging but releases that idea. Instead she goes into a more “I want to be as comfortable as those girls” idea and the story/excerpt tends to follow that idea until the end of it. Also the central ideas seem to be revealed at ends of stories for example she even states, “I was even a bit jealous” and “They looked so at peace with their identity and everybody got to know and respect them of their own terms.” Which implies she wants to have that sense of comfort in herself that she doesn’t have unlike the other girls.
Hope this helped!! :)
