The correct answer is parentheses.

When you are quoting somebody's words, first you are going to use the quotation marks ("), then cite the quotation, write a period, and close the quotation with the marks again. In order to avoid plagiarism, you have to cite your sources. This means that you need to use the parentheses, where you are going to write where you took that citation from.

For example:

<em>What characterizes romantic poetry is the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).</em>

As you can see, the source (Wordsworth) is written in the parentheses, along with the page number.

Read the excerpt from “Speaking Arabic.”

guajiro [1.7K]

The correct answer is; presenting dialogue that includes a contrasting perspective.

Indeed, there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.

The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it. It is this symbolism that provides the contrasting perspective.
