B. Casey is upset by the townspeople’s anger.
The townspeople being
angry at Casey never quite subsides throughout the majority of the poem.
In fact, it makes its presence known even toward the end of the poem as
Casey comes up to bat in the ninth inning as is evidenced by “A dismal
groan in chorus came; a scowl was on each face |When Casey walked up,
bat in hand, and slowly took his place.” And, readers can tell he is
upset at this in the lines that ensue: “His bloodshot eyes in fury
gleamed, his teeth were clenched in hate; | He gave his cap a vicious
hook and pounded on the plate.”
Answer: no matter what is done to the speaker and to her people, her power is such that "still, like dust, I'll rise." This simile suggests that the speaker is lighter than air, floating upward, above the "lies" of her oppressors. The poem is replete with similes. The speaker compares herself to "moons" and "suns" and describes herself as having "the certainty of tides," all images which suggest constancy and a capacity to stay the course and outlast naysayers. The speaker also uses figurative language to suggest that she behaves as if she is wealthier than she is, knowing that there is an internal, natural wealth inside her. She behaves "like I've got gold mines" and "like I've got oil wells," indicating that the speaker carries herself with the confidence of someone who has valuable natural resources, and knows it.

Explanation:
number of points between K and L= 6
probability of point on KL= 6/26
number of points not on KL= 18/26
Probabiltiy of 1st point on JL and 2nd not on JL= 6/26 × 18/26
= 0.1598
Answer:
In simple words, he is saying that the other man snores in a particular way (different from the way other people snore/sound) -- maybe with certain sounds, presumably. To say that there's meaning in the snores suggests that he can (in his mind, anyway) detect a sort of language or communication.
