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 spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which 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 gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts engage the reader? a.they employ statistical evidence. b.they employ figurative language. c.they employ supporting quotes. d.they employ an authoritative tone.

Ответ:
The correct answer is B. They employ figurative language
Explanation:
Both of the excerpts presented from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" and "Speaking Arabic" deal with heritage. In the case of the first excerpt the author describes the way in which a friend decided to take out heritage from poetry and for doing this the author uses language such as "he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry" that implies the author uses words in a different way than conventional use and provides words with a different meaning that their literal meaning which is known as figurative language.
Similarly, in the second excerpt, the author uses figurative language to refer to the same subject by stating "he tall American trees were dangling their thick branches" to represent in a figurative and abstract way the idea of heritage. This means, in both cases, the authors used figurative language to state the main idea and engage the reader. Therefore, the two excerpts employ figurative language to engage the reader.
