b) Drive the car
c) Sing a song
d) Recite a poem

Answer 1

The commander made Offred recite a poem once they were past the second checkpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Once they were past the second checkpoint, the commander made Offred recite a poem. In the book, Offred recalls being driven north toward the station, with the commander and another man applauding and laughing as she recited the poem from the backseat.

This suggests that the commander saw Offred as a form of entertainment, exhibiting his power and control over her.
