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 explains how Nye’s word choice helps establish her voice in the excerpt? Nye uses short, forceful words to support her opinion that an American heritage is limited and mechanical. Nye describes a neighborhood fair to support her opinion that the idea of an American heritage does not exist. Nye creates a powerful image of trees to support her opinion that living among a variety of cultures is an American heritage. Nye directly quotes something she heard in order to express her distress over a lack of American heritage.

Answer:

Nye creates a powerful image of trees to support her opinion that living among a variety of cultures is an American heritage.

Explanation:

Naomi Shihab Nye's "Speaking Arabic" is a short essay where the author expresses her wonder and ponders on people's need to be ethnically identified and be a part of. Being a mixed-race herself with a Palestinian father and an American mother, Nye focuses on ethnic identity and knowing and understanding one's heritage.

In the given excerpt from the short essay, Nye reveals how she saw or observed a young man "wish [he] had a heritage". And within that scene, she saw a "tall American tree dangling their thick branches right down over his head". Through this picture of a tree above a young man who wants to have/ belong to a heritage, Nye creates an image as a support for her opinion that living among various cultures is an American heritage of its own.

Answer:

C.Nye creates a powerful image of trees to support her opinion that living among a variety of cultures is an American heritage.
