Answer:

The correct answer is option B. convey an image of a bold and powerful city.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem Chicago by Carl Sandburg the author describes the city of Chicago with pride and tries to give an image of a bold and powerful city.

Despite the negative comments, he defends his city and tries to describe why it is so great and powerful.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is option B.
