The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

How do expectations of North Koreans' loyalty to the government, according to the text, develop
guapka [62]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>North Korea is a country on the Korean Peninsula of East Asia that is run by an authoritarian government, meaning it has strong central power that limits political freedoms. Today’s North and South Korea were once treated as one political unit, annexed by the Empire of Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following World War II, the USSR occupied North Korea and the United States occupied South Korea with the goal of reuniting them, a goal that failed in 1948 when the regions became two separate states. These two states went to war from 1950 to 1953 before reaching a ceasefire. The Kim dynasty has led North Korea from 1948 until today, with three successive supreme leaders: Kim Il-sung (1948-1994), Kim Jong-il (1994-2011), and Kim Jong-un (2011-present). As you read, note the ways in which North Korea controls its citizens’ everyday lives. </em>

<em>Picture this: a society where the government is in charge of designing everyone’s clothes. Sound a little crazy? Not to the government of North Korea, which has its own Apparel Research Center and Clothing Industry Department. These government agencies design most of the clothing North Koreans wear, and they are just one example of how the North Korean government works tirelessly to control every aspect of its citizens’ lives.</em>
