How does the speaker's use of Spanish names for food most affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt?
Read the excerpt from Justice Sotomayor's speech "A
Latina Judge's Voice
For me, a very special part of my being Latina is the

It deliberately excludes non-Spanish speakers.

The speaker's use of Spanish names for food most affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt since:

a. It shows her strong connection to her heritage.

Explanation:

Let's work with elimination here to reach a conclusion.

We can exclude letter B because using the Spanish names is not what makes the food sound unusual. As a matter of fact, we only realize how unusual those dishes are when we see their translation into English.

We can also eliminate letter C. The speaker is in no manner demonstrating a frustration with the United States. She is simply speaking of her origins.

Letter D is incorrect as well. The speaker does not exclude non-Spanish speakers, since she makes sure to translate all of the names she mentions.

The best option is, therefore, letter A. The speaker seems to make a point of saying the names in Spanish first. This is a sign that she is strongly connected to her origins and heritage. This is how she thinks of those dishes: with their Spanish names. The food and the language are associated in her mind.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!
