The Promise of America: Different Genres' Approaches to the Same Topic

Question 8 • CCPS GSE Language Arts Grade 8 (23.01300) YL IC

Which quotation supports the theme “Having a mixed cultural heritage can lead to mixed feelings”?

Answer
A
where the two Slovak children / who became my grandparents
B
I too come to this island, / nine decades the answerer / of dreams.
C
Yet only one part of my blood loves that memory. / Another voice speaks
D
knowledge of the seasons / in their veins.

Explanation

Choice C directly describes conflicting feelings tied to the speaker’s heritage: “one part” of the speaker loves a memory, while “another voice” speaks. That contrast shows how having more than one cultural inheritance can create mixed feelings. The other choices describe family origins, arrival on an island, or inherited knowledge, but not conflicting emotions.
