Latina Poetry as an Expression of Cultural Heritage

Question 5 • FL-1001370-English 3 Sem 2 - Flex

Which of the following lines from “The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica” best develops a longing for the past?

Answer
A
a “glorious return” to Havana—where no one / has been allowed to die and nothing to change until then
B
hanging in stalks like votive offerings / she is the Patroness of Exiles / a woman of no-age who was never pretty
C
She spends her days / slicing jamón y queso and wrapping it in wax paper / tied with string
D
Puerto Ricans complain / that it would be cheaper to fly to San Juan / than to buy a pound of Bustelo coffee here

Explanation

The phrase “glorious return” expresses a desire to go back to Havana, while the claim that nothing has changed suggests an idealized past preserved in memory. Together, these details develop a longing for the past. The other lines focus on the deli owner, her work, or the cost of coffee.
