Answer:
The correct answers are:
1. D : conscience;
2. B : bad,
3. D : ship,
Explanation:
The first answer requires a semicolon because we have two separate sentences, this is, two independent clauses, and in this case, we use the semicolon to connect them.
The second answer requires a comma as we have an appositive that does not provide essential information, so we separate it with a coma to designate additional information and maintain the structure of the sentence complete and clear.
The third answer requires a comma before the conjunction <em>or </em>because the rest of the sentence means the same as what precedes it. In this case, we use a comma as a sign of equivalence, to clarify that pirate ship is equivalent to a troop of brigands.

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.
