Read the passage from “Child of the Americas." I am a child of the Americas,
a light-skinned mestiza of the Caribbean,
a child of many diaspora, born into this continent at a crossroads.

How does the word “crossroads” help to develop the author’s tone?
It is imagery that describes the merging of different cultures.
It is imagery that describes a cultural boundary that should not be crossed.
It is an allusion to an actual boundary between continents.
It is a strong word that expresses an attitude of resentment and bitterness.
