In "arrangement in black and white" the reader is able to recognize something that the woman does not. what should a careful reader see?

her racism
walter's musical talent
the cynicism of the host
her poor attitude towards her husband

The answer is indeed letter A. her racism.

Explanation:

"Arrangement in Black and White" is a short story by Dorothy Parker. One of the characters is a woman who claims to be open-minded and to have no "feeling at all" when it comes to black people. She even says she hates it when people are narrow-minded and judgmental toward black people, and makes a point of arguing with her husband at home when they discuss the matter.

Still, throughout the story, not a single line that comes out of her mouth is free of prejudice. She talks of black people as if they are childish, dangerous, bad-tempered, ugly. Even though she compliments how talented they are, how they have music in them, she does not see black people as her equal. Some of her lines are:

“Listen,” she said. “I want to meet Walter Williams. Honestly, I’m just simply crazy about that man. [...] Well, I said to Burton, ‘It’s a good thing for you Walter Williams is colored,’ I said, ‘or you’d have lots of reason to be jealous.’..."

"...They’re just like children, just as easy-going, and always singing and laughing and everything. Aren’t they the happiest things you ever saw in your life?..."

“Oh, I get so furious when people are narrow-minded about colored people. It’s just all I can do not to say something. Of course, I do admit when you get a bad colored man, they’re simply terrible. "

“Is that Katherine Burke? Why, she looks entirely different off the stage. I thought she was much better-looking. I had no idea she was so terribly dark. ..."

according to the options stated, the one that is correct is the second option. the author most likely includes the panel to hint at the strong bonds among his family members. besides, the image from art spiegelman’s maus is common to show and portray the innocence and naivete of the children during the holocaust as well as the fact that millions of innocent jews were rounded up and taken by train to camps.
