Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter B) Those who today enjoy power and prosperity may one day become subordinate to those they deem inferior.

Explanation:

In the lines we are analyzing here, Countee Cullen, an author of the Harlem Renaissance movement, presents a social paradox. When he says, "We shall not always plant while others reap", he seems to be referring to the fact that oppression still exists. Not unlike during slavery, there are those who do all the work while others enjoy the fruits, the result of such work. However, the author claims such situation won't continue to exist. The men who make others work for them under oppression, the men who dare see their brothers as inferior, will someday know what it is like to be the one in a subordinate position. The day will come when they'll have a taste of the suffering and prejudice they inflicted upon others.

Slav-nsk [51]
The “winter dreams” of the story refer to the American Dream that Dexter<span> comes to embody, but success brings a high cost, and social mobility restricts Dexter’s capacity for happiness. Dexter is from humble origins: his mother was an immigrant who constantly struggled with the language of her adopted homeland. The central irony of the story is that realizing the American Dream yields bleak rewards. For example, when Dexter was a young caddy, he dreamed about success and wealth and the happiness they would bring. When he finally beats T. A. Hedrick in a golf tournament, however, the triumph brings him little joy. Dexter is able to transcend middle-class inertia but, despite his tireless efforts to advance his fortunes, forced to accept that money cannot buy happiness.</span>
