Question

In Lift Every Voice and Sing, which of the following best expresses the theme of the entire poem? Question 1 options: a) In order to maintain a healthy body and outlook, people should gather to walk and to sing as a way to encourage one another. b) A group of people who have a shared and difficult experience can move forward collectively toward a better future. c) It is necessary to enlist the help of people in power in order to achieve goals in a timely manner. d) Knowing what has occurred in the past can influence a group of people in developing better plans and goals.

Answer 1

The correct option is letter B as it demonstrates the difficulties experienced by the group throughout the poem and the fact that they have been able to move forward.

Option A is not possible because the focus of the poem is not singing with others, but to leave hardships behind.

Option C is incorrect because it is not specified in the poem that the group has goals to achieve in a timely manner.

Option D has some relevance, but again, the poem does not talk about having plans in a structured way, it is more about an intention of going forward in life without a defined set of goals.
