Read the following excerpt from a speech: My fellow citizens: Today we honor a great woman,
Maybelle Smith. When Ms. Smith stood up in front of her
state government 30 years ago to insist that it was wrong
to discriminate against women in hiring for manufacturing
jobs, her ideas were mocked by the most powerful
legislators in the room. Today, we sign the Maybelle Smith
Memorial Act, which will ensure that all women can feel
confident that they will never lose their dream job just
because of their sex.
Which is the most logical connection between Maybelle Smith and the
signing of the law?
O A. Maybelle Smith gathered public support for the law through her
work in government.
B. Maybelle Smith would have disapproved of and fought against the
law.
O C. Maybelle Smith initiated the movement that inspired the current
law.
O D. Maybelle Smith was a symbolic figure in the movement to pass
the law.

' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
