Through my research I found questions similar to this with matching options:
A) modeling
B) perpetuity
C)productivity
D)mentoring
The correct answer to end this sentence would be the first option: modeling.
The option that best reflects the technique the author uses to support her purpose on each excerpt is number 2) “The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.” In the 1st excerpt the author uses credible sources and statistics to show a reality of refugees in Central America and their reasons for asking for asylum. In except 2 on the other hand, the author narrates a story in the 3er person to illustrate violence, drug and social context of a boy.
Option 1 is incorrect since no narrative skills (1st excerpt) nor quotations are used (2nd excerpt).
Option 3 is also incorrect since text 1 focuses on statistics, not on emotions. And text 2 does not use long explanations.
And option 4 is wrong since no strong words are used in text 1 and the second text is told in the 3rd person point of view instead of first person.
E. The mixed language hints at the poet's inner conflicts based on her bicultural heritage.
To understand why is this the correct answer we need to know more about the autho Lorna Dee Cervantes.
"Of both Mexican and Native American ancestry, Cervantes is a member of a fifth-generation California family. Her parents, concerned about prejudices against Spanish-speaking citizens in the United States, strictly forbade the use of any language but English in the home as Cervantes was growing up. Cervantes's poetry often reflects this clash between her ethnic background and the American culture around her. As a way of reflecting her multicultural upbringing, the poet often makes use of both English and Spanish vocabulary in her poems."

The author in the poem does not want to celebrate her biculturalism but wants to express through the use of the two languages that she is internally in conflict with her identity and does not reject any of the two cultures she has. Mexican and American.
