Question

read the passage from the poem \child of the americas.\

i am new. history made me. my first language was spanglish.
i was born at the crossroads
and i am whole.

the author’s word choice helps to reflect a tone of

○ pride.
○ anger.
○ humor.
○ confusion.

Explanation:

The poem lines frame the speaker's mixed cultural and linguistic identity (Spanglish, "born at the crossroads") as a source of wholeness and a unique, valid identity formed by history. The declaration "I am whole" emphasizes self-acceptance and confidence in this hybrid identity, which aligns with a tone of pride. There is no language indicating anger, humor, or confusion.

Answer:

pride.
