Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. her racism.

Explanation:

"Arrangement in Black and White" is a short story by Dorothy Parker. One of the characters is a woman who claims to be open-minded and to have no "feeling at all" when it comes to black people. She even says she hates it when people are narrow-minded and judgmental toward black people, and makes a point of arguing with her husband at home when they discuss the matter.

Still, throughout the story, not a single line that comes out of her mouth is free of prejudice. She talks of black people as if they are childish, dangerous, bad-tempered, ugly. Even though she compliments how talented they are, how they have music in them, she does not see black people as her equal. Some of her lines are:

“Listen,” she said. “I want to meet Walter Williams. Honestly, I’m just simply crazy about that man. [...] Well, I said to Burton, ‘It’s a good thing for you Walter Williams is colored,’ I said, ‘or you’d have lots of reason to be jealous.’..."

"...They’re just like children, just as easy-going, and always singing and laughing and everything. Aren’t they the happiest things you ever saw in your life?..."

“Oh, I get so furious when people are narrow-minded about colored people. It’s just all I can do not to say something. Of course, I do admit when you get a bad colored man, they’re simply terrible. "

“Is that Katherine Burke? Why, she looks entirely different off the stage. I thought she was much better-looking. I had no idea she was so terribly dark. ..."

Why is it so important for Danforth to obtain a confession from John Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, or Martha Corey?
Licemer1 [7]
Danforth needed a confession because the rule was that if they did not confess, they were hanged. If they did not confess and Danforth decided not to hang them, the town would become angry because 12 others were already hanged for not confessing.

Hope this helps!

What would the poem the cremation of sam mcgee be like if it did not rhym
pychu [463]

The poem the Cremation of Sam Mcgee would not be a poem  if it did not rhyme.


Poetry requires rhyme. It is the art of rhyming that  makes any piece of  poetry valuable. Beyond this, without rhyme the listeners would be less interested in the story as one of the main assests of this creation is its use of rhyming structure to keep us hooked on the tale.
