In the fourth sentence of the last paragraph (“Even today . . . colleague”), the author alludes to his experiences at social functions primarily to


A - suggest that he finds assimilation more difficult in adult life than he did in college

B - question the extent to which he has succeeded in achieving his stated goal of assimilation

C - offer evidence to support his larger argument about the benefits of assimilation

D - imply that most of his colleagues are unfamiliar with Asian social customs

E - emphasize the continuity between his college and present-day identities

Answer:

B) question the extent to which he has succeeded in achieving his stated goal of assimilation

Explanation:

In these lines, the author describes how colleagues at a social gathering assume that he is married to a female Asian colleague. Their assumption provides evidence that the author is seen as part of an insular minority that reliably intermarries, a view very close to the stereotype of “the Asian-American as the perpetual foreigner” mentioned in the first sentence of the passage. This new evidence requires the author and audience to question the passage’s overarching claim that the author “washed away [his] tincture of foreignness with language.” In light of this new evidence, the author reconsiders what “true assimilation” might require.

The author makes an allusion to the experiences he has at various social functions with the aim to:

B). question the extent to which he has succeeded in achieving his stated goal of assimilation.

In sentence four of the last paragraph, the author employs allusion and implicitly refers to his encounters at the distinct social functions in order to interrogate the limit to which he has been able to attain his target of assimilation.

This reflects in displaying how far has he been successful in adapting himself to the beliefs and cultures of the dominant culture.

Therefore, the readers are able to understand how he's  adjusted irrespective of the differences in their ethnicities and heritages.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

"Hey Millicent, come on out now. This is it." There were some of the girls outside.

"I'm coming," she said, getting up and moving out of the soft darkness into the glare of light, thinking: This is it, all right. The worst part, the hardest part, the part of initiation that I figured out myself.

In Derek Walcott’s "Midsummer,” the speaker reveals his perspective by using allusions that give information about his background, the topics that are important to him, and his attitude and feelings. Think about your own background and experiences. In a paragraph, explain how your perspective affects your interpretation and understanding of "Midsummer.”

MIDSUMMER

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
The leaf stems tug at their chains, the branches bending
like Boer cattle under Tory whips that drag every wagon
nearer to apartheid. And, for me, that closes
the child’s fairy tale of an antic England—fairy rings,
thatched cottages fenced with dog roses,
a green gale lifting the hair of Warwickshire.
I was there to add some color to the British theater.
“But the blacks can’t do Shakespeare, they have no experience.”
This was true. Their thick skulls bled with rancor
when the riot police and the skinheads exchanged quips
you could trace to the Sonnets, or the Moor’s eclipse.
Praise had bled my lines white of any more anger,
and snow had inducted me into white fellowships,
while Calibans howled down the barred streets of an empire that began with Caedmon’s raceless dew, and is ending
in the alleys of Brixton, burning like Turner’s ships.

Dan Glickman, JD, former U.S. congressman from Kansas, once said that mandatory military service would be a solution to our "current dysfunction" because "National service, be it in the military, Peace Corps, or other public or private sector opportunities, breaks down the barriers of race, class, income, geography, and even language. Young adults are granted the opportunity to see their peers and fellow Americans as a member of their team."

Write an essay that argues your position on Glickman's claim that mandatory military service would have a positive impact on our country.

In your response you should do the following:
Respond to the prompt with a thesis that establishes a line of reasoning.
Select and use evidence to develop and support your line of reasoning.
Explain the relationship between the evidence and your thesis.
Demonstrate an understanding of the rhetorical situation.
Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.
