Answer:

O B. It was a shocking and traumatizing event in his early life.

Explanation:

Countee Cullen's poem "Incident" is a short poem that reveals the one incident that has a huge impact on the poet's life. The four-line poem of three stanzas is packed with the most serious and derogatory discrimination that affects a whole race of people, the blacks.

In the poem, the speaker revealed how he was called the "n" word on one of his journeys in Baltimore. Though he was just eight years old and was <em>"Heart-filled, head-filled with glee"</em>, the one comment by the Baltimorean kid who was <em>"no whit bigger"</em> than the poet left him with the<em> "incident"</em>. This is a memory that will remain in his life forever. It was shocking and even traumatizing for the child in him to even comprehend what was happening.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
