Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about the poem "We Wear the Mask" and forgot to show the answer options. The options are:

The author is saying the only truth is what the world sees.

The author is saying religion is a crutch for the oppressed.

The author is rejecting the power that human society has over him by emphasizing Christ as the ultimate authority.

The author is accepting society's emphasis on appearances by emphasizing Christ's appearance.

Answer:

The author is saying religion is a crutch for the oppressed.

Explanation:

The speaker of the poem relies on Christ, using religion as a force for the abbustias he presents. This is because the speaker cannot show humanity how much he is anguished and oppressed and that is why he uses a mask that hides the real emotions he is going through. However, Christ sees how much he is suffering and that in a way presents a relief for him.

Newcomers rushed in and towns sprang up overnight.</span>
