Answer
1. **B. El orador dice que su gente no tiene motivos para celebrar el 4 de julio.** El pasaje describe claramente cómo los beneficios de la independencia y la libertad no se extienden al orador y a su gente, quienes en cambio experimentan "azotes y muerte". No se expresa celos, amor incondicional al país, ni deseo de vivir en otro lugar.2. **C. El orador quiere demostrar que son tan capaces como cualquier otro.** Si bien la lista de trabajos *podría* implicar agotamiento, el enfoque principal del discurso es la incongruencia entre los ideales de libertad y la realidad de la esclavitud. No hay indicios de que el orador haya desempeñado todos esos trabajos, ni se centra en la comparación entre humanos y animales. El propósito principal es destacar la capacidad y la contribución de los afroamericanos a pesar de su falta de libertad.
