- "the answers are a and b.  

when cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the racial injustices present in american society. as these injustices have changed over time, the american identity  has also shifted. those changes are, in turn, reflected in american literature."

i would pick a. i think this is more of a personal question though.

i don't know what your working on like figurative language poems etc.

but i think the answer would be an informative sentence.
