Question

Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."

For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they know best what we
should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.

Therefore, Anaya focuses on the right to read to appeal to the sense of fairness and convince the reader about his point of view (Option A.)
