How did Ralph Ellison's works relate to important social issues of his time? a. His characters worked for a total overthrow of their social system.
b. His stories showed that one cannot escape disadvantaged circumstances.
c. He showed the harsh realities of life for African Americans.
d. He wrote about the lack of opportunities for uneducated people.

C

Explanation: it’s not a because didn’t work for a TOTAL overthrow but may have worked in small ways toward changing the social system. It’s not b, because people can overcome circumstances. It’s not D because he wrote “The Black Ball” (the name of the story is also a metaphor for someone to be in a losing situation) and he didn’t write about education but about African Americans and their disadvantages. Therefore C is correct

i think one answer could be this poet uses no rhyme.

its d! the final exam asked good luck
