Read the following excerpt from Sandra Cisneros’s story "Mericans." “Por favor,” says the lady. “¿Un foto?” pointing to her camera. “Si.” 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 following statements best explains the irony in this excerpt?
