The correct answer is C.

In his article, Baldwin tries to convey the idea that, people develop languages so that they an describe and control their circumstances because, otherwise, they would be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate.

He seeks to explain that, the Englished used by white people is not useful for blacks because it does not allow them to express the experiences they had to undergo. This led them to create their own language, which Baldwin calls "black English."

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. "I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly
choli [55]

The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".

Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the  Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.
