The correct answer is “an unknown person asking typical questions”. In this poem, the speaker shows how she feels about the different judgements that Native Americans face day to day. The tone is sarcastic because it seems as if she heard the questions asked repeatedly, showing it by not saying who is the one who asked or even the questions itself, just the answer. Most conversations are between two people, but the questioner is not being showed so we can see how the speaker is predicting what is going to be said and answers before the actual question. Using this way for write the poem, she shows her annoyance with all the stereotyping around Native Americans.
