Read this sentence from "a four-hundred-year-old woman" and answer the question.
glibness abounds on both sides of the argument, but finally i have to side with my "third world" compatriots:
which best identifies who the author considers her compatriots in this context?
expatriate writers
immigrants from non-european countries
her ancestors
editors and readers of her writing

Immigrants from non-European countries

.

Explanation:

In Bharati Mukherjee’s essay “A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman” the writer talks about her journey – from an Irish catholic school in India to her establishment as a writer in the US.  

Due to the fear that reigned in her hometown, she was sent to a foreign school in order to prepare her for emigration.

She’s writing now from a point of view of someone who’s made it to the United States and in this sentence she’s referring to those who’ve had the same destiny as hers – Third World country immigrants forced to live their motherland.

the correct answer is:

from context clues heliotrope is probably a flower.

a heliotrope are peruvian plants that have small purplish plants.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
