Answer 1

In the sentence from "Like Mexicans," the meaning of the underlined term in this context is:

A. Someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.

• From Gary Soto's "Like Mexicans," the line we are analyzing here is:

"I ignored them and climbed the back fence to see my best friend, Scott, a second-generation Okie."

• The underlined word is "Okie", which means a native or an inhabitant of Oklahoma. In the context the word is inserted, it refers to someone whose family is from the West.

• With that in mind, we can eliminate options B, C, and D. Okie does not refer to a racist, a non-Mexican, or someone who is fluent in English. The best option is letter A.
