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.

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.
Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.
