Read the excerpt from Notes of a Native Son. He was not a young man when we were growing up and he had already suffered many kinds of ruin; in his outrageously demanding and protective way he loved his children, who were black like him and menaced, like him: and all these things sometimes showed in his face when he tried, never to my knowledge with any success, to establish contact with any of us. Which best explains why Baldwin chooses the word "menaced"?

A)to illustrate the trickery the children perpetrate

B) to emphasize the cruelty the children endure

C)to suggest that the discrimination is imagined

D)to prove that the children are frequently bothered​

The word "menaced" explains the meaning " to emphasize the cruelty the children endure" according to the notes of a "Native Son." So, option (B) is the correct answer.

We may infer from the question that the narrator is speaking about his children and how much he cherished and upheld them in his strict manner, as well as how similar they were.

Therefore, Baldwin chose the word menaced to emphasize the cruelty the children endure.

Hence, option (b) is the reason behind the word "menaced."

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
