"A past that's rooted in pain" refers to a past

  • A.that has always been pleasurable
  • B.that has been pleasurable once but is now in pain
  • C.that has always been painful
  • D.that has had alternate periods of pain and pleasure

Answer: C

'A past that's rooted in pain' refers to a past that has always been painful.

'Rooted' means firmly fixed at the base, so pain is the foundation of the past the poet speaks of: generations of bondage and ill treatment, not a pleasant time that turned sour. The next lines speak of 'nights of terror and fear', which fits a past of unbroken pain.

A past that was pleasurable once, always pleasurable or mixed with pleasure does not fit the word 'rooted in pain'.
