Answer:

D. That he wants to give her comfort and warmth is the correct answer.

Explanation:

I Am Offering This Poem is a poem written by Chicano poet Jimmy Santiago Baca. This is a poem that shows love from the speaker to his beloved one by offering everything he has -the poem.

A metaphor is rhetorical device that compares two things (in an implicit way); in this case, the speaker mentions that he wants his beloved one to be comfortable and give her warmth, the speaker literally mentions that he wants to <em>warm</em> her belly, so D is the correct answer.

Mia and her classmates are discussing the ethics of capital punishment. When Mia strongly asserts her position on the issue, her
Sav [38]

Mia 's barrier to critical thinking is 4.<em>thinking that she is too smart</em>. She thinks herself to be that smart because of her intelligence performance- IQ-  ; she has been evaluated with a much higher grade -145- than the average. As a consequence, she cannot understand - <em>she gets upset</em> - why she is asked to give an answer to her classmates' different or opposing ideas. She mistakes critical debates for questioning her intelligence; she thinks her 145 IQ is synonymous with the absolute truth.

1. Time is not correct because this is not a factor to be considered when debating critically.

2.lack of understanding. Mia undesrtands perfectly well the teacher's instructions. Her problem is not rational but emotional.

3.IQ philosophy. In fact, Mia 's intelligence has been measured using this IQ philosophy,  but it is <em>her attitude</em> what works as a barrier for critical thinking.
