D. Mexican foods and celebrations are popular throughout the area

Explanation:

The southwestern part of the United States has been part of Mexico until relatively recently. This meant that the region was under the influence of the Spanish culture. Even though the United States managed to conquer this part from Mexico, the majority of the population remained, so it was predominantly Mexican population living in the area, and even with the mass migrations later on, it still remained in high percentage. The different cultural landscape is easily noticeable, as it is much more similar to that of Latin America, than the United States, so it is a nice clue about the past of the area.

islamic religious leaders have traditionally been people who, as part of the clerisy, mosque, or government, performed a prominent role within their community or nation. however, in the modern contexts of muslims minorities in non-muslim countries as well as secularised muslim states like turkey, indonesia and bangladesh, religious leadership may take a variety of non-formal shapes.

compared to religious leaders/clerics of the other abrahamic faiths, islamic clergy are said to resemble rabbis and not priests. unlike catholic priests they do not "serve as intermediaries between mankind and god",[1] have "process of ordination",[2] or "sacramental functions",[1] but instead serve as "exemplars, teachers, judges, and community leaders," providing religious rules to the pious on "even the most minor and private" matters.[1]
