Explanation:
Unclear question. However, I provided a brief about a verb and clause.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the English language, a verb refers to words that help describes an action done by a person or thing (the subject), or the state of the subject of a sentence. A clause other hand is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete thought in a sentence. Hence, the verb clause is a type of clause that acts as an independent clause in a sentence.
For example, the sentence; "The boys are trying very hard."
The correct option is <em><u>A. African Americans deserve equal treatment and status in American society.</u></em>
Further Explanation:
On July 5, 1852, Fredrick Douglas gave one of the famous speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" The fourth of July is the day of freedom for the people of America. In the speech, Douglas comments on the celebration of the day and says that to celebrate such a day is very ironical. He says that the celebration of freedom which the people are celebrating is in reality still under slavery. He had used rhetorical questions to ask the people whether they are in reality a free citizen to celebrate such a day. He reminds the people of the unjust treatment they are exposed to in their own country. Behind their celebration, they are forced to lead the life of a slave with an absence of freedom to them. He adds that the celebration of the fourth of July is like a mockery against the African Americans. In reality, the celebration is a way of veiling the cruelty which the people experience in reality. The speech is meant to bring a change among the thoughts of the people and the American government. He urges the people to be together to bring an end to such a horrific present. His request to the African Americans is to see the real face of the government and to work to repair the damages.
