Answer:

D) It is a racially segregated town.

Explanation:

The passage says nothing about crime so A is incorrect.

A concern with appearance may manifest as embarassment or pride. Neither of those nor any other emotion regarding appearance is included in the text; the last sentence of the passage is straightforward and without description of why "the people" were watching or how the "little white boy" felt about it. So B is incorrect.

The "white boy following his drunk father on a n*gger's back" is only one instance of a black person doing "all the work." You cannot assume whether this happens often simply by reading this passage, so C is incorrect.

Firstly, the use of the n-word implies that this passage was written about a time when racism was highly prevalent and still accepted. Secondly, the "white boy" has to go into the bar first by himself to ask "permission for me to go into the bar," "me" being the narrator, who is black, which we can tell because the narrator says that he "loaded [the drunk father] on to my back" and the drunk father is later described to be "on a n*gger's back." The combination of the racial slur with the asking for permission to go into the bar and the carrying of the drunk father all directly imply racial segregation in the town. So, D is correct.

When the writer rhymes spare with air, is that an example of assonance or consonance?
k0ka [10]
This is an example of consonance. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in the either the beginning,middle,or end of a word. Assonance is only the repetition of vowel sounds.

vitfil [10]

A. The author enjoys the sights and sounds of the swamp.  The descriptions gives this one away.

There is no indication that the author lives here, nor is there any mention of tourists.  That takes out B and D.  And while there is many sentences describing the birds, there is just as much description about other species, so we do not know C to be true.  A is the best choice.
