Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow. The Market Woman She rises before the cock, before the sun remembers its duty, and loads her basin with the weight of yams and children's school fees. Her feet know the road by heart — every stone, every puddle's lie, the shortcut through the mango grove where the air is briefly kind. At the market she becomes a general, her voice a flag planted in noise, her eyes measuring, calculating, her smile a tool, not a gift. By dusk she counts the coins like a priest counting prayers — each one a small salvation, each one a child fed, a debt delayed. She does not ask for monuments. She asks for tomorrow.
