Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . . I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one. Which phrase from the excerpt best uses persuasion? “about the art and literature of the different cultures” “I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself” “Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us” “just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas”

The correct answer is C.“Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us”. I just took the test and got it wrong because someone said it was D.

In my opinion, the correct answer would be D. “just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas.” It best uses persuasion because it compares tasting different kinds of food to reading different kinds of books from all over the world. With this comparison, it underlines the relationship between the two things from the title: tortillas and poetry.
