Question 12 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

Based on what you know of Langston Hughes and his beliefs, what quality makes the speaker “beautiful” in the last lines of the poem?

Answer
A
He is beautiful because he is patient and kind.
B
He is beautiful because he knows more than those who sent him from the table.
C
He is beautiful because he is African American.
D
He is beautiful because he has a more healthful diet.

Explanation

In Langston Hughes’s poem “I, Too,” the speaker is sent away from the table because he is Black, but he insists that he belongs and will be seen as beautiful. His beauty comes from his identity and dignity as an African American, not from being patient, knowledgeable, or eating differently. Choice C is correct.
