Yosef Weiss · Answer 1

The answer is A because in the memoir (My Story) is a personal recollection therefore the language is likely to be written using vocabulary particular to the lifestyle of Ms. Parks. The poem, "On the Bus with Rosa Parks" is a literary piece of work in that it must follow a set of rules in order to classify as a poetry. Although answers B and C are debatable, D can only be proven by actually reading the aforementioned texts.
