The statements that best describe both excerpts are: Okita uses the tomato, a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker's American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity.

In these two excerpts, we find that the native tomatoes established the American identity.

This is found in the fact that the speaker's father said that the soil in the new place they were going to will not support the growth of the love apples.

In the second excerpt, the speaker explicitly mentions that he speaks English. This identifies him.

So, option A shows how the two excerpts reveal the identities of the characters.
