The speaker's intent is not explicitly stated, so we must infer it based on the options provided.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Option A suggests that the speaker is trying to show how exhausted African Americans are from all their labor. However, there is no evidence in the question to support this claim.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option B suggests that the speaker has been employed in all these capacities. Again, there is no evidence in the question to support this claim.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option C suggests that the speaker is trying to show that they are every bit as capable.
