Hi there,
the answer to this would be B serious.
I think this is because the way they describe the Black Snake it look like its serious all the time. If you look back at your poem you will see context clues about the story and the characteristics of the Black Snake.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
Explanation:
Baldwin talks of a "disease" which afflicts black Americans and can wreck race relations and creating a "rage in the blood" so he is using the "disease" as a metaphor for probably the rage that black Americans have for experiencing the inequalities of life in the US especially in the 1960's when the civil rights movement was so strong and segregation was so strongly practiced in the South still.
The singular noun in this sentence would be the word "Sand" because it's talking about the "Hot sand".
He walked across the hot "sand", hot is used to describe the word sand.
Thus your answer.... B. sand.
Hope this helps. :)
I think the answer is A because when you answer a question, you first want to pick the answers that you know is most likely to be wrong. That is elimination. Hope that helps.
