read this sentence by ralph ellison:
when i discover who i am, ill be free.
the author uses the word discover to emphasize which idea about freedom?
a. its made possible through education.
b. it means following a set path.
c. it requires a journey of self - knowledge.
d. its an impossible task for everyone.

Explanation:

The word "discover" implies an active process of finding out. In the context of "When I discover who I am, I'll be free", it suggests that freedom comes from understanding oneself. Option C aligns with this as a journey of self - knowledge is about actively finding out about oneself. Option A (education) is not indicated by "discover". Option B (following a set path) is the opposite of discovery. Option D (impossible task) is not supported by the positive tone of the sentence.

Answer:

C. It requires a journey of self - knowledge.
