I looked this question up and found the answer choices. They are the following:

What cultural element is revealed in the excerpt?

A. art

B. clothing

C. religion

D. language

Answer:

The cultural element revealed in the excerpt is:

C. religion

Explanation:

The excerpt belongs to "Mericans", a short story by American author Sandra Cisneros (born 1954). The narrator is a young girl of Mexican descent who is waiting with her siblings at the door of a church for their grandmother, who is praying inside.

The passage reveals a cultural element: religion. Catholics in Latin America are known for their passionate devotion to religion, especially to saints. It is not uncommon to see processions of people, some walking on their knees, pleading for help and miracles, repenting for their sins, or even giving thanks for something good.
