The correct answer is C. Pestilent

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the word "morbid" is used to describe cholera, which is a disease that can lead to death. About this, the author explains this can be passed from one person to another by direct contact or even at distance.

Also, the author uses the terms "morbid matter" and "morbid poison". The use of "morbid" refers to how lethal, unhealthy, or negative the disease is. This word can be related to the word "pestilent" which means "deadly". According to this, the meaning of morbid is pestilent.

olga nikolaevna [1]
I believe the answer to this question would be either a metaphor, idiom, or alliteration. But this would most likely be idiom because people can interpret different meanings of this phrase negative or positive and can take it personally or extensively.

Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
DochEvi [55]

The phrase of the excerpt of Rudolfo Anaya's essay "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" which best help the reader identify the author's purpose is<em> "I know more of myself as I learn more about fellow human beings"</em>. In this essay, Anaya speaks about the inequity that Mexican-Americans face when they try to be published. They are compelled by publishers and editors to "take the tortillas out of their poetry" as a way of saying that to be published they have to take from their work the Mexican culture, which makes them special. "Tortillas", in this essay, mean both Mexican food and Mexican culture. Anaya says that he when he learns other ways and other cultures he knows more about himself and feels freer.
