"We understand that English is the common language of this country and the one most often heard in international-business circles from Peru to Norway. We know that, to get ahead here, one must learn English." Why does Marquez write this?

Acknowledging the value of English helps to show that her argument isn't about resisting English but actually about embracing individual cultures.

Marquez is trying to be ironic in an effort to show that English isn't really as necessary as people claim.

She's appealing a sense of patriotism (pathos) from citizens who might've immigrated from places like Peru and Norway.

She wants people to understand that English is only really needed in business circles, so people should be empowered to use their own language everywhere else.

If I were to select a single sentence from the passage that BEST represents her larger claim and purpose, which sentence should I pick? "In this century, Latin American immigrants and others, such as Puerto Ricans whose U.S. citizenship is automatic by nature of that island's commonwealth status, have fought for this country in U.S.-led wars. They have participated fully in this nation's democracy by voting, holding political office and paying taxes. And they have watched their children and grandchildren become so "American" that they resist speaking in Spanish."

Instead, we should all be encouraged to embrace the cultural roots of our family’s history – language included.

Being an American, to those of us who dare to speak Spanish among ourselves in public, has very little to do with what language we use during our free time in a free country.

For me and most of the bilingual people I know, it's a matter of respect for our parents and comfort in our cultural roots.

Throughout this nation's history, most immigrants - whether from Poland or Finland or Italy or wherever else - kept their language through the first generation and, often, the second.

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

Expanding on an original statement by using repetition in order to increase the original statement's intensity.

Using vivid imagery to fully describe a character in a narrative.

disrupting the usual grammar or syntax of a sentence

repeating initial vowel and consonant sounds to draw attention to a specific element

Yoda said, "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Which of the following best describes the rhetorical technique he used there?

purposefully repeating the end of one sentence or clause at the beginning of the next sentence or clause

Balancing a positive with a negative

placing opposite elements next to each other to draw a comparison

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Which of the following is the best description of the rhetorical strategy used?

balancing of a negative with a positive

"I know what you’re thinking—that sounds really complicated! But bear with me, because it’s actually quite simple." Here, the speaker is...

anticipating an objection and easing the thoughts of the reader

anticipating the reader's agreement with his/her statement

personifying the bear to show that they really do have feelings

replacing an unpleasant statement with an easier word

Which of the following best describes the rhetorical function of the second sentence in the passage? "It is not easy to write a familiar style. Many people mistake a familiar for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affectation is to write at random. On the contrary, there is nothing that requires more precision, and, if I may so say, purity of expression, than the style I am speaking of. It utterly rejects not only all unmeaning pomp, but all low, cant phrases, and loose, unconnected, slipshod allusions. It is not to take the first word that offers, but the best word in common use; it is not to throw words together in any combination we please, but to follow and avail ourselves of the true idiom of the language.

It presents a misconception that the author will correct.

It makes an appeal to authority.

It restates the thesis of the passage.

It expresses the causal relationship between morality and writing style.

In the passage, which of the following rhetorical devices is most in evidence?

The massing of factual information

The use of abstract generalizations

In line 23, “bearing’’ modifies

“Imperial China’’ (line 21)

“primitive islands’’ (line 23)

The point of view expressed in “They . . . men’’ (lines 24-27) is that of

eighteenth-century British merchants
