Question

Read the excerpt from “Like Mexicans.”

Answer 1

After reading the excerpt and making close scrutiny over it, the statement that best explains how Soto's text structure helps establish his voice in the passage is 'Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about hwat it means to live in a multicultural society'. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.

The other answers can be eliminated because this excerpt is not criticizing marriage, presenting guidelines on how to live, or showing how one's heritage can limit choices.

Instead, he is relating a story from his life to show what it means to live in a multicultural society. Ultimately, even though people may be from different cultures, they still share many similarities. This is made clear by the final line: Her people were like Mexicans, only different.
