When President Eisenhower left the presidency in 1961, he had accepted the fundamental features of the welfare state.
Explanation:
Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States, from 1953 to 1961. Under his administration, the United States experienced a period of peace and prosperity marked by cooperation between the different parties, in a world then dominated by the Cold War which opposed the country to the USSR. In domestic politics, Eisenhower developed the network of interstate highways, sent the army to Arkansas in order to impose court decisions taken in favor of racial integration, founded NASA and made space racing a priority against the Soviet Union.
He also encouraged technological advances in the field of aviation and atomic energy in order to limit the use of land forces. Although in favor of conservative fiscal policies, Eisenhower expanded the social security program without, however, modernizing the aid programs introduced during the New Deal. Due to this, he was catalogued as a "progressive conservative".

In the excerpt, Maya Angelou describes Mrs Bertha Flower way of dressing, moving and presenting herself, to indicate her social status within the community of Black Stamps.

C: She is elegant, refined, and quite unique or special.
A: “On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her.”
Explanation:
Maya Angelou's autobiography "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," tells about her early years, her childhood days. This novel is also a "coming-to-age" novel that covers her growing up years and the experiences/ encounters she had that led to her interest in books and writing.
Mrs. Bertha Flowers is the sophisticated, educated woman who Maya admires. She is the epitome of what a woman can be, and Maya thinks her to be even more beautiful than other white women. We can safely say that she is elegant, refined, and special/ unique. This is because Maya comments Mrs. Flowers is graceful, "On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her."
Thus, the correct answers are options C and A.
Culture
Explanation:
In these lines, we learn that Marguerite values culture. We learn this from the descriptions she gives us of Mrs. Bertha Flowers. We learn that Mrs. Flowers is always very well-dressed ("printed voile dresses and flowered hats") and appears to be very graceful ("had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her"). She also tells us that she is as respectable as any rich white woman in town. The fact that the speaker appreciates elegance and grace so much shows that the speaker values culture.
Hello. You forgot to show what "part A" was. "Part A" asked: what inference can be made about Mrs. Flowers? The inference was that she is elegant and special.
D. On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her."
Explanation:
Mrs. Flowers was a unique woman. That's because when reading "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" we can see that she was a unique woman, extremely refined, educated, cultured, delicate and admirable. All these characteristics attracted people's attention to her, making her be commented on in a positive way and served as inspiration for some women who wished to have the same refinement as her. An excerpt from the text that provides evidence for this is: "On the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her."
