Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun. He and Kathy worried about the reach of the Department of Homeland Security, its willin

gness to contact anyone born in or with a connection to the Middle East. So many of their Muslim friends had been interviewed, forced to send in documents and hire lawyers. But until now Zeitoun had been fortunate. He had had no experience with profiling, hadn’t been suspected of anything by anyone with real authority. There were the occasional looks askance, of course, sneers from people upon hearing his accent. Maybe, he thought, this was just one soldier, ignorant or cruel, wanting to stir things up. Why does the author include these details?

Answer:

to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • to illustrate Zeitoun’s strong allegiance to the Middle East.
  • to explain the need for the Department of Homeland Security.
  • to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.
  • to suggest Zeitoun’s involvement in suspicious activity.

In this excerpt, the author describes how Zeitoun needed to think about the reality of racial profiling in his daily life. We learn that he has not encountered this much throughout his life, but that he knows others who have, and that this situation is always on his mind anyway. This allows us to empathize with the problems that Muslim-Americans encounter on a day-to-day basis.
