Explanation

Spanglish blends Spanish and English within the same expression. Choice B combines English words such as “sweet,” “soft,” and “moving lyrics” with Spanish words and phrases such as “danzas,” “la española,” and “presencia.” The other choices refer to languages or cultures but do not mix Spanish and English in the same way.
