is, am, were, was, are, be - the list is quite extenstive and depends on the sentence they are in.
Linking verbs connect a subject to a predicate adjective or predicate noun - they do not show action.
Answer:
O Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.
Explanation:
In the first excerpt, Rudolfo Anaya presents a case of his friend who decided to 'remove' his heritage, his Latin background just to get accepted for a scholarship. And in this act, Anaya observes that his friend <em>"took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality . . . took the soul out of his poetry." </em>This shows his analysis of what he saw and thinks is happening, giving his opinion.
On the other hand, Naomi Shihab Nye structures "Speaking Arabic" as an observation of what she saw. She describes the young man's declaration of wanting a heritage among the <em>"tall America trees"</em> while in a Texas fair in between the <em>"German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth".</em> The excerpt is an observation of what she saw at that time and place.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is that Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis while Nye's is an observation.

Answer:
Poem with don't
Explanation:
When the roses wilt
When the sky clouds
When the day ends
When darkness comes
Whispers are heard
Don't explore
Don't wonder
And thats what they said to her
For that was never the solution.
As she faced the whispers
Everyone's words washed away.
When she faced the whispers
She never had anything else to say
Answer:
The central idea is that Tan didn't let her manager get to her, but instead she strived for what she wanted
Explanation:
I know this because in the passage it says "Tan was offended by what her manager said about her writing skills. Tan chose writing even though English was not her strongest skill." This is letting me know that even though Tan's manager doubted her, she didn't let it get to her. Tan was adequate about what she had wanted to do in life, and she stuck to it. Being successful takes an lot of practice, time, and of course hard work.
