Read the excerpt from “In Response to Executive Order 9066.”

I have always felt funny using chopsticks

and my favorite food is hot dogs.

Read the excerpt from “Mericans.”

Ladies don’t come to church dressed in pants. And everybody knows men aren’t supposed to wear shorts.

Which best describes the common idea in the excerpts?

A. Both refer to the speaker’s sense of loss.

B. Both have a tone of disapproval.

C. Both reference American stereotypes.

D. Both suggest imminent change.

i suggest it is anadiplosis

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

this is hard!
