In the first paragraph, DuBois states that because Black people live in America, they possess a second sight. America is a world which yields him
no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the
revelation of the other world." The term coined for this phenomenon is
double consciousness. Which would be the best explanation for this term?
A Black people only being aware of their African heritage
B Not wishing to be seen as either Black, nor American
C Being able to understand oneself based upon how others see him/her
D Never embracing American ideals, since American enslaved Black people

C Being able to understand oneself based upon how others see him/her

Explanation:

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.

i would pick a. i think this is more of a personal question though.
