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?
They employ statistical evidence.
They employ figurative language.
They employ supporting quotes,
They employ an authoritative tone.

Ответ:
The correct answer is B: They employ figurative language.
Explanation:
Figurative language refers to the tone and expressions we use to amplify our text and make it more interesting to the readers.
In those excerpts, authors use figurative language to make the text more alluring and interesting to us by explaining certain things with the usage of meanings that are different from the literal meaning. The author says that his friend took the tortillas out of his poetry, which means he took the soul out of his poetry. With this statement, the author tries to send us a message in an interesting and appealing way and make us involved in the flow of the story.
