Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some context to the text.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The text is an excerpt from the story, <em>"Julius Caesar" </em>by William Shakespeare. We find an ongoing dialogue by the character, Anthony with Caesar. In this dialogue, Antony inquires of Caesar if he intends to expand his achievements as a conqueror; who he intends to plot against next.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B. Old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens.
Explanation:
In this excerpt we can see how the author addresses the issue of how old and sick people cannot get a job and not only that, they starve and die of cold.
The author also ironically remarks how young workers "are now in almost as hopeful a condition." and talks about how they can't get a job either.
Exactly the use of this irony is what is considered as "satirical tone".
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option B.
Answer:
The speaker is Black, and dreams of being free of the strictures and segregation of an oppressive society—of living a life of freedom and self-expression. Importantly, too, the speaker is an artist: in his “dream,” he imagines getting through the “white day” by dancing.
I think it is answer A.
I may be wrong don't quote me!!
