Answer: C. an exchange of dialogue between the speaker and the visitors.
Explanation:
In the second paragraph of this essay by Zora Hurston, we learn how the residents of Zora's Black American town of Eaton, Florida, treated Southern whites who passed through with indifference but treated the Northerners with awe and excitement.
A development to this paragraph would be an exchange between the speaker and the visitors so that we may better understand the awe and excitement that the Northern whites were greeted with.
C. it has negative connotation
an author writing from the point of view of the Indians that were already making their home in America would use this type of language because when Columbus came to America he invaded a space that was already occupied. even though it was a discovery for Spain and England that did not know America existed it was an invasion to the Indians.
