Question

My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. 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 support ideas about cultural diversity

Answer 1

Answer:

The two excerpts present words outside the English language, which reinforces the idea of cultural diversity.

Explanation:

Cultural diversity promotes social, ethnic and even linguistic wealth. This can be seen in the excerpts shown in the question above, where, in addition to reinforcing how the mixture between different cultures, gives a people a very comprehensive view of the world and leaves the language beautiful, rich, unpredictable and glowing. To take away the diversity of language is to leave it without shine, without soul. To reinforce this idea, the excerpts present words outside the English language.
