Read the excerpt from the poem “Phenomenal Woman”, by Maya Angelou, to answer questions 49 and 50.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span¹ of my hips,
The stride² of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
