Answer:

As much as the brothers dislike being stereotyped for being "Merican," they stereotype their own sister based on gender.

Explanation:

Irony is when a person expresses a certain thing but meant a completely different thing. Or it can also be taken as a situation where one thing is meant but a different thing happened. This rhetorical device is used when a person says one thing but meant something else.

In the given excerpt from Sandra Cisneros's "Mericans", the irony is when the brothers discriminated against their sister based on her gender. They know what it's like to be discriminated against, for they were also stereotyped for being Americans despite being immigrants just like others. And they did not like that. But at the same time, they did the exact same thing to their sister when they gender-stereotyped her.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Enlightenment philosophers were generally opposed to the Catholic Church and organized religion in general. The Catholic Church was seen as an oppressor -- along with the aristocracy -- of individual freedom and reason because of its dogmatism and insistence on being the only source of truth.

Read this excerpt from “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Anestetic [448]

A. Readers gain insight into the narrator's belief that he is possessed by a demon.

This is the best option because the passage describes how he believes he has been possessed by a demon. From this passage, we don't actually know what happens once he is possessed. Option B says that it gives a reason for the narrator's behavior, but we don't know what that behavior is to make this a correct choice. Option C is wrong because first person invites us in to the narrator's mind. It doesn't not keep us at a distance. Option D is also not correct because we don't know anything about his treatment of a cat from this passage.
