Question

There was always radio which brought us

Songs from wlac in nashville and what we

Easy listening or smooth jazz but when I
listened
Late at night with my portable (that I was so
proud of)
Tucked under my pillow
I heard nat king cole and matt dennis, june
christy and ella fitzgerald
And sometimes sarah vaughan sing black
coffee
Which I now drink
It was just called music

The speaker was proud of her radio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C.The speaker was proud of her radio is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem, the speaker mentions how the radio connects her with the music, particularly with jazz. Letter C is the correct answer since it is stated clearly in two lines, when she says "Late at night with my portable (that I was so/proud of)" where portable means radio. Due to this, letter C is the correct answer.
