Read the excerpt from “i dream a world” by langston hughes.

a world i dream where black or white,
whatever race you be,
will share the bounties of the earth
and every man is free,
where wretchedness will hang its head
and joy, like a pearl,
attends the needs of all mankind—
of such i dream, my world!

based on the dreams that the speaker describes, it is reasonable to infer that the speaker
a. is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

b. will do whatever is necessary to gain equality for all.

c. lives in a time and place where equality does not exist.

d. has given up the idea that one day all people will be treated the same

C. lives in a time and place where equality does not exist.

In the poem the speaker is dreaming of a world where equality for all exists. He says, "Whatever race you be,/ Will share the bounties of the earth/And every man is free". Since this universal equality is in his dreams, we can infer that it does not exist in reality. The other options are wrong because the speaker doesn't indicate that he enjoys freedom, he doesn't show he is doing anything to gain freedom except dream, and the hopeful tone of the poem means he hasn't given up on equality.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.
