RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY.
The sentences below appear in a poem with this theme: Believing in yourself is possible even if others don’t believe in you? How does the use of the word designated support the poem’s theme?

I was born a nobody. I was left to be tended by anybody. I was dismissed by everybody. That was all before I designated myself Somebody.
a. It shows that the speaker now feels powerful enough to name herself
b. It describes the development of the speaker’s character over time.
c. It hints at some flaws in the speaker’s personality.
d. It provides an important clue about the character’s background.

Other keywords like "was" show that this poem is past tense so it could not be A. Poems are usually short with no characters or story and although this can be considered a "characters background", the rest of the poem does not continue, therefore its not D. There was not a clue as if the speaker has done something wrong as a "flaw" in their personality, but C. does not support the word "Designated" within our question.
