PLEASE HELP if you say your "helping me" or "telling me to do my own work" I will report and get your points taken away.

From the time when I could remember anything, I had been called simply “Booker.” Before going to school it had never occurred to me that it was needful or appropriate to have an additional name. When I heard the school-roll called, I noticed that all of the children had at least two names, and some of them indulged in what seemed to me the extravagance of having three. I was in deep perplexity because I knew that the teacher would demand of me at least two names, and I had only one. By the time the occasion came for the enrolling of my name, an idea occurred to me which I thought would make me equal to the situation; and so, when the teacher asked me what my full name was, I calmly told him “Booker Washington,” as if I had been called by that name all my life; and by that name, I have since been known. Later in my life, I found that my mother had given me the name of “Booker Taliaferro” soon after I was born, but in some way that part of my name seemed to disappear and for a long while was forgotten, but as soon as I found out about it I revived it, and made my full name “Booker Taliaferro Washington.” I think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that I have.

Answer:

A. an autobiographical sketch

C. satisfied

C. I think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that I have.

Explanation:

In this passage. Booker T. Washington describes the reasons why he has that name. He tells us that his name did not originally come from his parents naming him. Instead, it came from him not knowing what his full name was. This is a personal story of his life, which makes it an autobiographical sketch. Washington appears satisfied about the way in which this happened, as he tells us that naming yourself is a privilege most men have not had.
