Read the quotation from "Ain't I a Woman?"And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? Which best describes the syntax?
Answer
A
Truth uses simple syntax to grab the audience’s attention and make a strong point about her own resilience.
B
Truth uses simple syntax to emphasize the insignificance of the experience she is describing.
C
Truth uses complex syntax to explain what types of labor she has performed in her lifetime.
D
Truth uses complex syntax to question whether or not the audience recognizes who she is.
Explanation
Truth uses short, direct sentences and repeated questions such as “And ain’t I a woman?” The commands “Look at me!” and “Look at my arm!” immediately draw the audience’s attention, while her list of hard work shows her strength and resilience. This is simple syntax used to make a forceful point, not complex syntax or a suggestion that her experiences are insignificant.
