Answer:

B. She loves beautiful language and appreciates many kinds of writers

Step-by-step explanation:

Marguerite Annie Johnson, born on May 28, 2014, was an American poet, singer, memoirist and, civil rights activist, well known for series of her seven autobiographies. Angelou was fond of Shakespeare and liked his sonnet 29, which she claims, spoke to her. She says, "I found myself, and still find myself, whenever I like, stepping back into Shakespeare. Whenever I like, I pull him to me. He wrote it for me." She says, "When I was young, I thought that Shakespeare must have been a black girl. How else could he know exactly how she felt." According to Angelou, poetry has the power to unite.
