Question

i wonder! if it’s that abjure?
i am twenty - three, colored, born in winston - salem.
i went to school there, then durham, then here
to this college on the hill above harlem.
i am the only colored student in my class.
the steps from the hill lead down into harlem,
through a park, then i cross st. nicholas,
eighth avenue, seventh, and i come to the
harlem branch y, where i take the elevator

part b
the author establishes the tone in part a by using
○ whatever we do first person viewpoint
○ various punctuation
○ imagery of the hill
○ repeated words and phrases

Explanation:

The text uses consistent first-person "I" statements to share personal details, location, and experiences, which centers the first-person speaker. The other options do not fit: there is no unusual punctuation, limited Harlem-focused imagery, and no repeated key words/phrases driving the tone.

Answer:

○ references to the first person speaker.
