This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from “Speaking Arabic.”
At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
Which best explains how Nye’s text structure helps establish her voice in the excerpt?
a) Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.
b) Nye compares her experience to a stranger’s experience to express her ideas about the importance of heritage.
c) Nye lists food booths at a neighborhood fair in Texas to make a statement about diverse foods in America.
d) Nye uses a cause-and-effect format to show how heritage can limit a person’s cultural diversity.
Answer:
a) Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.
Explanation:
In "Speaking Arabic", author Naomi Shihab Nye develops the theme of heritage. As we can see, she mentions something she overheard a man say to do so. This American man does not understand and, for that reason, does not value his own heritage. He says he wishes he had a heritage, not being able to look around and realize how diverse his country is. She goes ahead to mention the trees to show how heritage is all around him, how he would certainly be able to see it if he truly wanted to.

Without any doubt I can say that one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene is being shown in the option : B. Readers are unable to visualize for themselves the movements of the county attorney and Mrs. Hale. The most important thing is to see the expressions of the characters and to see how they feel in a particular situation that author represents. Visualization is also important to complete the tone of a story.

Answer:
The reason that Mrs. Whitaker rejects Galaad's offer of the apple of the Hesperides while accepting his other two gifts is:
The apple of Hesperides represents Mrs. Whitaker's past. She does not want to return to her youth, out of free choice, even though she is enamored of youthful exuberance.
Explanation:
Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories, entitled "Smoke and Mirrors" (1998), has a second tale christened "Chivalry." The theme of "Chivalry" is about love, growing old, and personal choices. This Neil Gaiman's Christmas special is the story of Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop. When approached by a Knight for the Holy Grail, she chose, in exchange, some precious stones, instead of the apple of the Hesperides, which could have returned her youth, a youth she remembered with nostalgia.
