The correct answer is C: Although they smile outwardly, African Americans pray for an end to their community's struggle. As the lines indicate it, the African Americans are hiding something; this becomes obvious in the use of the mask. The mask they are wearing is their smile; a smile that characterizes them as happy people. However, this smile hides the suffering of their community.
