PLEASEE HELP! 50 points! Don’t just put any random answer, or I’ll report you, and I’ll just get my points back.

Read these lines from "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,

This debt we pay to human guile;

What do these lines suggest?

Hiding one's true self from others costs that person making connections with others.

People are deceptive, and everyone hides who they truly are from the public's view.

Blacks hide the oppression they feel behind a mask of happiness that whites readily believe.

The mask protects the wearer's cheeks and eyes from the sun's harmful rays.
