Question

Read this excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya's essay "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."

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 of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative?
using words that affect the audience's sense of trust
O using less repetition of certain words and phrases
O including words that address logic and reason
O including words that are charged with emotion

Answer 1

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took on edge

Answer 2

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings” I think this best exemplifies the message this writer is trying to convey and I know from personal experience travelling in Latin America that also learning another language and trying new foods opens ones mind up to other cultures and ways of doing things and understanding history better and also understanding oneself better by the differences and similarities with other peoples.
