Answer:
The speaker's ancestors.
The speaker's curls.
Explanation:
Elizabeth Acevedo's poem "Hair" is a powerful poem that delves into the issue of self acceptance and identity. In this poem, the writer narrates how the hair became a piece of personal identity that sets the Latinas apart and how they are expected to try to be like normal people, meaning the white people.
In the given lines, the speaker reveals how they, the speaker and her ancestors, tried hard to find ways to "straighten" their curls and be more like the white people. She also strongly points out the fact that while her ancestors<em> "call[ed] them wild curls, [I] call them breathing"</em>, showing her acceptance of who she really is and letter her natural hair be as it is.
Thus, the "them" in the given lines refer to the ancestors as well as her curls.
Answer: Fragment (missing predicate)
Explanation:
A sentence fragment is a sentence that is missing either its subject or its main verb.
The answer to this one is D. This is because the sentence does not have a predicate. A sentence's predicate describes what is happening. A sentence is considered a fragment if it lacks a predicate. Consider the following example:
<em>My cousin Fred.</em>
We know Fred is the subject of this phrase, but we have no idea what he's up to. As a result, this isn't a complete sentence.
As "three fish and a turtle" has 2 subjects, the three fish and the turtle, but no predicate to show what they're doing, the sentence is a fragment missing a predicate.
