Answer 1

In Langston Hughes' poem 'Theme for English B', both the narrator and the professor are not always happy about their connection. The correct answer is option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem Theme for English B by Langston Hughes, the narrator reveals a complex relationship between himself and his instructor. The narrator suggests that both he and his professor are affected by their connection but acknowledges that it might not always be a comfortable or happy realization. Particularly, when he writes, "That's American. Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you. But we are, that's true!", this reflects a grudging acknowledgement of connection despite differences and discomfort.
