Question

Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" and "Speaking Arabic."

My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of
receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanis
English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, wh
is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.
At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gord
booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, "I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel so lonely for one." AL
the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
Which best states how the structures of the excerpts differ?
A
Anaya structures his excerpt as an anecdote, while Nye structures her excerpt as a rhetorical appeal.
Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.
Anaya structures his excerpt as an observation, while Nye structures her excerpt as an analysis.
Anaya structures his excerpt as a rhetorical appeal, while Nye structures her excerpt as an anecdote

Answer 1

The correct answer is B: Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaya's excerpt is represented as an explanation that gives it an authoritative tone, based on an analysis, where he explains how his friend took his language and culture out of his poetry, in order to increase his chances of receiving a fellowship.

On the other hand, Nye's excerpt is represented as an impression, characterized by a soothing tone and based on her observations about a young person who would like to have a heritage.
