Incident details: I witnessed an incident that happened yesterday morning in front of my class. I saw a crowd gathered around and I went to have a closer look and know what the commotion was all about.
Behold, it was Sandra Gabriel who happens to be my classmate that was assaulting a frail-looking male junior student and taunting him. I tried to step in and stop the assault but because of the thickness of the crowd, I was unable to, and unfortunately, the crowd was having fun and no one wanted to stop the madness. I was unable to get the name of the junior student that was assaulted.
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.
I<span>t provides the example of sweating sickness.
This example shows the reader that there was a disease and cause of death in Elizabethan England that does not still exist to our knowledge today. Most people probably had never heard of 'sweating sickness', so when it's presented in the passage it is effective in showing that Elizabethan ailments were different than modern ones. </span>
