Explanation:

The poem "I, Too" by Langston Hughes is about racial segregation. The line "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table" symbolizes the speaker's hope for equality. In the context of the poem, when the speaker says this, it means they look forward to a future where they are no longer restricted (like being sent to the kitchen as in the poem's earlier lines) but are treated equally. Option A aligns with this as it mentions equality and no longer being restricted in one's own home (which in the poem's context, America is the 'home'). Option B is incorrect as the poem is about equality, not just being part of a community without equality. Option C is wrong because the poem is about a future of equality, not just hosting company. Option D is off - topic as the poem is about racial equality, not religious differences.

Answer:

A. The speaker looks forward to a future where they will be treated with equality and not feel restricted in his own home.
