The poem "Learning to Read" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper explores the way after the Emancipation slaves aim at trying to read, although some white people tried to stop them. In the case of the excerpt presented the author describes the way she is told by others it is too late for her to learn to read but she believed as she "was rising sixty" she needed to take advantage of time and learn how to read. This means in this context "I was rising sixty" means the author is about to be sixty years old or that she is getting near or approaching to this age. Therefore, the meaning of the word rising is "approaching".
The word "rising" in the Frances Ellen Watkins Harper poem "Learning to Read" has the sense of "approaching" when it is used in the excerpt. So, the correct option is B.

Which transition in the paragraph should be revised?
Revise “for example” at the beginning of Sentence 2.
Revise “however” at the beginning of Sentence 3.
Revise “specifically” at the beginning of Sentence 4.
Revise “finally” at the beginning of Sentence 5.
The correct answer is option D) Revise “finally” at the beginning of Sentence 5.
In this case, the author is writing about pets in the USA but it is not providing a chronological order for that. And the sentence connector "finally" is usually used when giving an order together with other connectors such as "first, second, finally".
Option A should not be revised as the sentence connector "for example" is providing evidence for the previous statement.
Option B is also correctly used in the sentence since the connector "however" is indicating a contradition between ownership of pets and how they are acquired.
Option C is also correctly placed in the sentence since the connector "specifically" is providing concrete examples of the previous sentence.
