Answer:

D. By describing the voice of Elenita's mother as soft and sad, the author emphasizes her hurt, leaving the reader sympathetic to her.

Explanation:

By saying that she has the voice soft and sad, Judith tries to make the reader empatize with the mother and feel as she is feeling the hurt of seeing her daughter taking desicions that could affect her future, the pain of a mother knowing that she can´t make her daughter do what she wants her to do but still thinks she is making bad desicions.

Answer:

D. By describing the voice of Elenita's mother as soft and sad, the author emphasizes her hurt, leaving the reader sympathetic to her.

Explanation:

Ortiz Cofer's work explores the breaks and holes that emerge between her split cultural legacies. Her initial drenching in both Puerto Rican and American culture molded her multi-kind methodology, which incorporates works of fiction, writing, verse, and some of the time a mix of the three. Her work The Latin Deli, which was selected for a Pulitzer-Prize, investigates different types, joining verse, short fiction, and individual account. She was additionally a writer of children's books.

Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) "A Modest Proposal"<em> - A Modest Proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C is also similar to Option D, but option D better explain the situations.

From this excerpt and according to the options provided we can infer that the authors (Jonathan Swift) wants to stress on the importance of helping those children who are burden on their poor parents and country. He wants to say that this would be a real service to the public, and one which should really be appreciated.

In another sense there is also a satire in this piece of the excerpt in the usage and stress on words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift is satirizing government's economy-centered policies. Government wants a fair, cheap and easy solution of issues which should be government's priority to solve at every cost. In fact this point of view of satire in this excerpt is more correct than the options provided.
