Answer 1

B). Resiliency and hope will help people get through even the toughest of times.

Step-by-step explanation:

James Weldon Johnson's poem 'SONNET' discusses the key idea of 'resiliency and hope assisting people to get through in the toughest of the times' which is clearly reflected from the lines 13 and 14 of the poem as they say 'Tho’ thick the battle and tho’ fierce the fight, / There is a power making for the right.' The speaker adopts an impassioned and inspiring tone that encourages the readers to 'rise up' and fight the battle against all odds with strength and valor. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
