Question

read this excerpt from \like mexicans.\... i ignored them and climbed the back fence to see my best friend, scott, a second - generation okie. what is the meaning of the underlined term in this context? someone who is from the west and whose parents are from the west someone who is racist and whose parents who are racist someone who is not mexican and whose parents are not mexican someone who is fluent in english and whose parents are fluent in english

Explanation:

The term "second - generation" implies that Scott's parents were also from the same group (in this case, related to the West as "Okie" has historical ties to the Western migration context). The other options about being racist (no indication in text), not being Mexican (the text is about "Okie" not Mexican), or fluent in English (not relevant to the term "second - generation Okie" meaning) are incorrect.

Answer:

someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West
