Question

The author uses a formal academic tone to call attention to "the many nuances of black aesthetics." Which selection from the article BEST reflects that tone? A In my 6-year-old mind, being a superhero was life. At every free moment, I draped towels across my back to form capes and created masks out of colorful construction paper. B I can vividly recall breaking vases, windows, and other treasured household items that resulted in many non-rod-sparing sessions and privilege revocations. C I began to resent superhero films, although I told myself I was aging out. The resentment lasted until I came across the trailer for the Ryan Coogler-directed "Black Panther." D The movie has already started to transcend the silver screen by sparking discourse around the sovereignty and ingenuity of blackness.
