Read this passage from "A Defense of Veganism": The next claim made against veganism is that a vegan diet
does not provide enough protein. Without meat or eggs,
the argument goes, a person cannot get enough amino
acids. This is absolutely untrue. MNN poses an interesting
breakdown of a day's protein consumption for vegans
based on the U. S. Department of Agriculture's dietary
guidelines. According to these guidelines, an adult male
needs 56 grams and an adult woman needs 46 grams of
protein. By putting together a sample breakfast, lunch, and
dinner composed of such foods as soy derivatives, bulgur
wheat, lentils, nuts, and beans, the average daily protein
needs can be easily met.
Which statement best evaluates the author's response to the counterclaim

the major theme of langston hughes’s montages of a dream deferred is the deferred, or delayed, american dream of african americans. the poem is about how african americans failed to achieve their goals in time:

this year, maybe, do you think i can graduate?

i’m already two years late.dropped out six months when i was seven,

a year when i was eleven,

then got put back when we come north.

to get through high high school at twenty's kind of late–

but maybe this year i can graduate.

the poem also depicts how african americans had to keep postponing their needs with a hope that someday they would be able to obtain what they desired:

maybe now i can have that white enamel stove

i dreamed about when we first fell in love

eighteen years ago.

but you know,

rooming and everything

then kids,

cold-water flat and all that.

but now my daughter’s married

and my boy's most grown–

quit school to work

and where we're moving

there ain't no stove–

maybe i can buy that white enamel stove!

however, despite their deferred dreams, the poem shows the refusal of african americans to give up easily and let go of their dreams of a better life. their dreams may have been delayed, but they did not lose hope.
