My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fell

owship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.
At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.

Which best states how the structures of both excerpts engage the reader?
They employ statistical evidence.
They employ figurative language.
They employ supporting quotes.
They employ an authoritative tone.

Answer:

B. They employ figurative language

Explanation:

In the first excerpt it says "He took the tortillas out of his poetry" which is figurative language making it more human.

In the second a young man says "I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I fell - so lonely for one" Which is another example of figurative language followed by dramatic irony of a american tree hanging unknown to him right over him.
