Answer:

C. the false exteriors of African Americans

Explanation:

From the poem, we can discover that the "mask" is metaphoric. It tells that the mask is the false exteriors of African Americans.

From the poem, below is an excerpt:

"We wear the mask that grins and lies,

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—"

The poet states "the mask that grins and lies" which simply points out that the mask sends out something false. It lies!

What basic request does the speaker make of the person he addresses
docker41 [41]

A speaker addresses a person for various reasons. For example, s/he may see that the listener is distracted and s/he may want the addressee to focus more on what s/he has to say. Moreover, it can happen in the middle of a speech, because what will follow is really important and s/he feels the need to underline it by asking for more attention from the listeners.  Furthermore, the speaker may address a person because s/he may want to talk specifically to this person about something or in order to give him/her the stand.

So, from all the above, it could be concluded that the basic request of the speaker when s/he addresses a person is to grab the listener's attention.

In at least 150 words, discuss the contrasts that exist in “Aunt Imogen.”
Ray Of Light [21]
<span>Edward Arlington Robinson wrote a poem called “Aunt Imogen” which takes into deep consideration the life of a woman who lives in the city far from her sister's farm but every now and then she visits her sister. His poem is considered part of early modernism because of his use of traditional verse form, but rather than describing actions of the character the poet looks into consideration Aunt imogen's reflection on her life, her realizations, and her attempt to cope with her circumstances. His work is much different because of his use of connotative and figurative language, and the themes of alienation and of self-reflection of the life of Aunt Imogen, a the end of the poem aunt imogen learns to cope with her feelings stating that “<span>They were not hers, not even one of them: She was not born to be so much as that, For she was born to be Aunt Imogen”</span></span>
