Which line from the passage contains the longest pause?
A.Well, son, I’ll tell you:
B.And boards torn up,
C.And places with no carpet on the floor—
D.But all the time

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
(from Mother to Son by Langston Hughes)

Hello,

The answer is option A Well, son, I’ll tell you:

Reason:

Commas, and punctuation requires a pause at the end which means the answer will be A because it has two commas which has a longer pause in the sentence which makes it the longest.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!
