Question

Explanation:

Federico García Lorca was a radical, unconventional Spanish poet whose work defied traditional norms, aligning with the Beat Generation's countercultural ethos that Ginsberg embodied. The allusion in the poem references this shared spirit of nonconformity, making respect for Lorca's unconventional poetic identity the core intent. The other options are incorrect: the excerpt does not focus on Spanish culture celebration, Lorca rejected conformity, and the poem critiques rather than highlights contributions to consumerism.

Answer:

show his respect for Lorca for being an unconventional poet.
