Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya's essay "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures
nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become
freer and freer. ...
I don't know anyone who doesn't like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups, just as many of
us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as
I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be
justified by no one.
Which choice best describes the purpose of this text?
to persuade readers to oppose the censorship of literature
to inform readers about censorship in a specific country
to entertain readers with stories about censorship
to motivate readers to speak out against censorship

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the three (3) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. your sister has a new boyfriend. the first time you meet him, he corners you and talks to you for an hour about football, a subject in which you have no interest at all. you come away with the impression that he is an inconsiderate bore. the next two times you see him, however, he says not a word about football. he participates in the general conversation and makes some witty and intelligent remarks. what is your impression of him now? do you find him likable and interesting on the basis of the last two encounters? do you average out the early minus and the later plus and come out with a neutral zero? neither is likely. what is likely is that you still think of him as an inconsiderate bore. psychological research suggests that first impressions, as our mothers and fathers told us, are quite lasting. 1. the words “neutral zero” refer to an impression that is positive. 2. the words “neutral zero” refer to an impression that is neither positivenor negative. 3. the selection suggests that it’s a good idea to make good firstimpressions. 4. the selection suggests that it can be difficult to remain objective aboutothers. 5. first impressions tend to be fair and balance
