Question 13 • AZ-English Language Arts 10 B-CR
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 mucho platos de arroz, gandules y pernir—rice, beans and pork—that I have eaten at countless family holidays and special events. My Latina identity also includes, because of my particularly adventurous taste buds, morcilla, pig intestines; patitas de cerdo con garbanzo, pigs' feet with beans; and Ia lengua y orejas de cuchifrito, pigs' tongue and ears. I bet the Mexican-Americans in this room are thinking that Puerto Ricans have unusual food tastes. Some of us, like me, do.
Answer
A

B
It demonstrates how unusual Puerto Rican food is.
C
It exemplifies a frustration with the United States.
