Answer:

"forty little demons ... who are."

Explanation:

The word "who" is meant to refer to humans, so its use with mythological beings, animals and objects represents a grammatical error. This error can be seen in the text when the word "who" is used to refer to demons. Demons are not human beings, so they cannot be referenced by the words "who", being the correct one, use the word "which".

There is a grammatical error in: "forty little demons ... <u>who</u> are."

You could argue that since "demons" are not human beings but rather supernatural, evil spirits or entities (often meddling with humans' lives), they should not be referred to using the pronoun "who," but with "which."

However, it is understandable thanks to the context that the author is talking about human children here. Using the pronoun "which" to refer to them, although it would be grammatically correct, would sound very harsh because dehumanizing.

Answer:

The option that best describes how Anaya effectively uses rhetoric in the excerpt to convince readers that his conclusion is justified is:

B) Anaya establishes his credibility as a published Chicano author by discussing his career experience.

Explanation:

Rhetoric concerns the use of devices and strategies to convince the audience of your opinion or perspective. A commonly efficient way to do so is by establishing your own credibility concerning the subject. That is what Anaya is doing in this excerpt. He gets to talk about language and culture in American literature, and be taken seriously while doing it, due to his credibility as a published Chicano author. His life and career are devoted and dependent on this subject, which gives him some sort of authority to discuss it.
