RC Question 1 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following most accurately …

DISCUSSION: The main point of the passage is to describe the unique identity of Mexican American literature and how it is distinct from literature from either of the countries.

___________

1. The first part of this is supported, but there is no mention of a clear vision of the future of Mexican culture.
2. Too specific. While paragraph 2 tells us agrarian culture has heavily influenced the literature, it’s too strong to say its purpose is to develop a literary voice for agrarian workers.
3. CORRECT. The entire passage relates to how Mexican American literature reflects bicultural experiences and creates a new identity from these two cultures.
4. We don’t know about the comparative success in prominence and reputation.
5. This was discussed in paragraph 2, but it’s not the main point of the entire passage.
