Themselves.

This poem focuses on black women's sacrifices to ensure their children's educations. It mainly celebrates the women of her mothers' era, who was a maid and wife to a failed sharecropper. The figurative language she uses highlights their strength and bravery they held and used, to try and make their kids' lives better so they could hold better opportunities.

Answer:

4). At the skyscraper, we watched them in action building their masterpiece.

Explanation:

As per the question, option 4 displays the sentence that is written in active voice as the subject/doer is accomplishing the action expressed by the verb in the sentence which is contrary to the sentence written in passive voice which involves a subject that receives the action or being acted upon(by the verb). Options 1, 2, and 3 emphasizes the object('the skyscraper visit', 'the museum', and 'those works of art') instead of the subject which implies that they are the recipient of the action. Thus, only option 4 contains the subject 'we' that is performing the action 'watched' rather then receiving it. Therefore, <u>option 4</u> is the correct answer.

Hi. Even though you showed a text, you didn't show any questions about that text. However, when researching this text on the internet, I was able to find a question, which asked that the errors presented in this text be pointed out.

In this case, we can conclude that all punctuation that the text presents is incorrect.

The correct thing would be that between the words "newspaper" and "Deeter" there was a comma, since this clause presents a continuity of thought. Also, between the words "breakfast" and "the," there should be a period, as the word "breakfast" ends one of the narrators' thoughts and the word "the," starts another thought. In addition, the word "the" must be written with the capital letter "T", since every word, after a period, must start with a capital letter.

Finally, after the word "floor" a period should be placed, as this word ends a thought.
