The sorrect answer to your question would be C. One of the Johann Strauss's Waltzes is The Blue Danube.
The correct answer is; presenting dialogue that includes a contrasting perspective.
Indeed, there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.
The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it. It is this symbolism that provides the contrasting perspective.
It has a
negative connotation, suggesting instability and stymied progress.
A connotative meaning is something that is associated to or
an expression carried by the dictionary meaning of the word. The possible
connotation of “quicksand” is “instability and stymied progress” as its primary
meaning which is an area/situation that is difficult to escape can be
associated to describe the racial injustice of the nation, as the excerpt says.
