Which statement best compares the structure of "Harlem" and "The Weary Blues"?

Answer
A
“Harlem” is short and happy, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
B
“Harlem” is short and urgent, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
C
“Harlem” is short and content, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and unhappy.
D
“Harlem” is short and curious, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and unhappy.

Explanation

“Harlem” is a compact poem that builds urgency through a series of questions about a deferred dream and ends with the possibility of an explosion. “The Weary Blues” is much longer and uses musical rhythms, repetition, and blues-like language, giving it a lyrical quality. So the best comparison is that “Harlem” is short and urgent, while “The Weary Blues” is longer and lyrical.
