Read the quotation from "ain't i a woman? " and ain’t i a woman? look at me! look at my arm! i have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! and ain’t i a woman? which best describes the syntax? truth uses simple syntax to grab the audience’s attention and make a strong point about her own resilience. truth uses simple syntax to emphasize the insignificance of the experience she is describing. truth uses complex syntax to explain what types of labor she has performed in her lifetime. truth uses complex syntax to question whether or not the audience recognizes who she is.

The correct answer is: TRUTH USES SIMPLE SYNTAX TO GRAB THE AUDIENCE'S ATTENTION AND MAKE A STRONG POINT ABOUT HER OWN RESILIENCE.   At this point of the poem quoted above, the sentences used are simple (and not complex) because they are usually one-clause sentences (as in "Look at my arm!"), or compound sentences which consist of simple clauses put together coordinated by a conjunction (as in the case of "I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me!).  The main function of these simple structures is not to deviate the readers' attention with a complocated syntax, but to strike with concise meanings built step by step by each simple sentence. Referring straightly to this example, our attention is directed through indocatives (orders such as Look at me!) And the more important content words are the verbs related to her resilience which strike us: ploughed, planted, no mas could head me.
