Answer 1

C. Williams employs a humorous and often sarcastic tone to communicate the complexity of representing her composite ethnic identity in a single dish.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of "Ethnic Hash" reveals, through the article, how complicated her ethnic background and cultural heritage is, due to all the ethnic mixtures that formed her family, even going so far as to not recognize which ethnic group she really belongs to.

In this, she uses fun and capable sarcastic tones, using several analogies through food to communicate the complexity of representing her composite ethnic identity on a single plate.
