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.
Answer:
C) Clover feels frustrated at what has happened at the farm and at her inability to stop it.
Explanation:
" If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race." Here she thinks of how she Could've spoken her thoughts and perhaps could've had an influence on the events, but now, she has lost hope, with no picture of the future with just terror and control everywhere. The other options don't really work with the text as the last sentence: "There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind." goes against A and she was for Old Major's beliefs, but is distraught that the society has gone completely away from what they were. Hope this helps, idk why the other answer is that from another question.
