Read the excerpt from "In Response to Executive Order 9066. " I’ve packed my galoshes and three packets of tomato seeds. Denis

e calls them love apples. My father says where we’re going they won’t grow. Read the excerpt from "Mericans. " She’s so busy taking Junior’s picture, she doesn’t notice me and Keeks. "Hey, Michele, Keeks. You guys want gum?" "But you speak English!" "Yeah," my brother says, "we’re Mericans. " Which of the statements best describes both excerpts? Okita uses the tomato, a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker’s American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity. The writers use bleak imagery to convey the sense of isolation they feel from their respective cultures. The speaker of Okita’s poem feels a sense of loss at the prospect of being moved from her home, while the speaker of Cisneros’s short story longs to leave her current location and return to America. The American identity of both speakers is highly questionable, as they frequently refer to their foreign identities.

The statements that best describe both excerpts are: Okita uses the tomato, a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker's American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity.

In these two excerpts, we find that the native tomatoes established the American identity.

This is found in the fact that the speaker's father said that the soil in the new place they were going to will not support the growth of the love apples.

In the second excerpt, the speaker explicitly mentions that he speaks English. This identifies him.

So, option A shows how the two excerpts reveal the identities of the characters.
