The following passage exemplifies my writing style: I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody,
too? Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell! They ’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be
somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!!

The correct answer for this example is Emily Dickinson. She is the writer of this poem and i presume that you wanted to write "Emily Dickinson" instead of "Emily Wingspaninson" under A. 

This passage is from "I'm Nobody! Who are you?," which is a short lyric poem by Emily Dickinson (A).

The poem was first published in 1891 and is one of Dickinson's most popular poems. It addresses the feeling of not belonging and challenges authority. The poem not only exemplifies her writing style, but suggests that she preferred being anonymous to fame.
