read this passage from "marian anderson sings":
"anderson struggled over her reply. she was a singer, not an activist. she did not enjoy being the center of attention for reasons other than her music. to sing at the lincoln memorial would be a bold political statement. at best, she'd feel uncomfortable. at worst, she might find herself at the center of an ugly riot."
why does the author of the story include this passage?
a. to show that anderson was hesitant to create controversy with her actions
b. to show that anderson was not bothered by being denied the chance to play constitution hall
c. to show that anderson doubted the authenticity of the government's offer for her to sing at the lincoln memorial
d. to show that anderson was more committed to racial equality than she was to furthering her own career

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.

ian mortimer in his book "the time traveller's guide to elizabethan england" uses a narrative in his style, which successfully conveys a clear description of the life in england in the 16th century. he writes in second person, which makes it comfortable to reader and easy to understand, he captures the readers attention with views of the landscape, the streets, the people including rich and poor. he also depicts some cultural traits from how people behave, eat or what they wear. his descriptions range from the social, economical, the political power to the examples of the life of common people. it could be tell that this book is about social history rather than a   novel.
