Which statement best expresses the central idea of the passage
Answer:
O Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.
Explanation:
In the first excerpt, Rudolfo Anaya presents a case of his friend who decided to 'remove' his heritage, his Latin background just to get accepted for a scholarship. And in this act, Anaya observes that his friend <em>"took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality . . . took the soul out of his poetry." </em>This shows his analysis of what he saw and thinks is happening, giving his opinion.
On the other hand, Naomi Shihab Nye structures "Speaking Arabic" as an observation of what she saw. She describes the young man's declaration of wanting a heritage among the <em>"tall America trees"</em> while in a Texas fair in between the <em>"German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth".</em> The excerpt is an observation of what she saw at that time and place.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is that Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis while Nye's is an observation.
