The mother of 'the Little Black Boy' says his dark skin and face are-

  • A.a blessing
  • B.a veil
  • C.a curse
  • D.a cloud

Answer: D

The mother says his dark skin and face are a cloud.

The last two lines read 'these black bodies and this sun-burnt face Is but a cloud, and like a shady grove.' So she calls his dark skin a cloud, a temporary covering through which light can still shine, and not a blessing, a veil or a curse.
