Read the excerpt from pat mora’s essay "the leader in the mirror." i read them my poem "immigrants.” immigrants wrap their babies in the american flag, feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie, name them bill and daisy, buy them blonde dolls that blink blue eyes or a football and tiny cleats before the baby can even walk, speak to them in thick english, hallo, babee, hallo, whisper in spanish or polish when the baby sleeps, whisper in a dark parent bed, that dark parent fear, "will they like our boy, our girl, our fine american boy, our fine american girl? ” as a writer, i understand the value and necessity of knowing my past, of keeping that door open. mora includes the poem in her speech to entertain her audience with stories from her own childhood. encourage her audience to remember their family history. educate her audience about life in other countries. persuade her audience to change political viewpoints.

The correct answer is “Mora includes the poem in her speech to encourage her audience to remember their family history.”. In his essay called “The Leader in the Mirror”, Mora argues about the importance of valuing her past and celebrating heritage. Pat Mora was born in El Paso, Texas, and now she celebrates her Mexican American background. As she was in charge of the talk to honour the top five academic achievers from the local high schools in her hometown of El Paso, Mora prepared her speech with the idea to create an occasion for reflection. As a very useful tool, Mora included her poem called “Immigrants” that narrates the life of immigrants in the United States and their struggle in order to recall her family stories, which she describes as a “catalyst” for creativity.

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.
