Which of the following best describes the shift in the speaker's tone toward naett?
a. from affectionate to proud b. from worshipful to gloating c. from emotional to detached d. from sentimental to concerned

A. Affection to proud.

Explanation:

The poem "I'll Pronounce Your Name" by Leopold Sedar Senghor is focused around an imaginary character Naett that represents the author's ideology. The speaker begins the poem with affection to her and describes her as 'beautiful', 'shining coal', 'You my Night Sun' ironically. But his affection shifts to proud as he uses Naett as representative of African culture as he wishes to "immortalize" her. The celebration of her beauty is synonymous to his eulogizing of beauty and glorification of African Continent. Thus, his emotion shifts from mere affection to proud.
