In “A Black Man Talks of Reaping,” Bontemps describes that no matter how hard Blacks work in the fields, they don’t benefit from their toil. Which lines from the poem best convey this thought?

"that wind or fowl would take the grain away. / I planted safe against this stark, lean year."

"I have sown beside all waters in my day. / I planted deep, within my heart the fear"

"I scattered seed enough to plant the land / in rows from Canada to Mexico"

"but for my reaping only what the hand / can hold at once is all that I can show."

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
