Answer:

Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone’s childhood.

Explanation:

An allusion is the referencing of something without actually explicitly mentioning it. It acts as a means to bring something into the mind without directly mentioning it in detail. It could be used as a means to refer to something that the writer/author wants to bring into mind but not direct referencing.

Judith Cofer Ortiz's "The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica" is an observation that uses vivid imagery and detailed description. It focuses on the issue of an immigrant displacement and the identity crisis, being uprooted from the 'old lie' into the new world of America. An example of an allusion is found in the mention of <em>"Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone's childhood"</em> which is a reference to the childhood of the author or anyone displaced, for that matter. It brings back memories of their childhood.  

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Which sentences in this excerpt show that the speech is addressed to a primarily female audience? Sentences in [] are answers. A
ryzh [129]
The sentence that shows that the speech is addressed to primarily female audience would be: We do not propose to petition the legislature to make our husbands just, generous, and courteous, to seat every man at the head of a cradle, and to clothe every woman in male attire. 
I put a highlight on the phrase our husbands. The sentence basically created in order to put a sense of shared experience that every female audience could relate. This type of technique commonly used in order to make the audience feel a sense of unity from the shared experience.
