'The Little Black Boy' wished that he could be-

  • A.educated
  • B.older
  • C.free
  • D.white

Answer: D

The key gives white.

The extract does not state the boy's wish in so many words. It sets his colour against the English child, 'White as an angel', and says he is 'black as if bereav'd of light', and the poem as a whole is about the boy's longing to be like the white child. Of the four options, only white follows from this contrast.

Nothing in the lines given suggests that he wanted to be educated, older or free.
