Read this sentence from "A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman" and answer the question.

Glibness abounds on both sides of the argument, but finally I have to side with my "Third World" compatriots:
Which best identifies who the author considers her compatriots in this context?
expatriate writers
immigrants from non-European countries
her ancestors
editors and readers of her writing

Answer:

Immigrants from non-European countries

.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Bharati Mukherjee’s essay “A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman” the writer talks about her journey – from an Irish catholic school in India to her establishment as a writer in the US.

Due to the fear that reigned in her hometown, she was sent to a foreign school in order to prepare her for emigration.

She’s writing now from a point of view of someone who’s made it to the United States and in this sentence she’s referring to those who’ve had the same destiny as hers – Third World country immigrants forced to live their motherland.
