The correct answer is C.
The central idea of this passage is that the US needs to grant its black population freedom and equality.
Douglass makes the argument that this country cannot reach its maximum potential if a good portion of the population is oppressed. He compares the oppression of African-Americans in the United States to cutting off the right arm of every soldier going to war -- senseless and dangerous.

In this poem by Gary Soto, the author reflects on the feelings that he has for the woman he loves.
The author tells us that he is poor and unimpressive, while the woman is much better than him. However, throughout the poem, he highlights the fact that he wants to be loved and seen by the woman, even if he is not very impressive. The last image he offers in the text is that of a daffodil and wheat. He compares himself to wheat, which is resistant, even if not impressive. On the other hand, while the daffodil is more beautiful, it is weak and often goes unnoticed, ending up destroyed in the mud when the rain comes. The author highlights the fact that his qualities might be less obvious, but they exist, and this should motivate the woman in question to give him a chance.
