which best explains how sotos text structure helps establish his voice in the excerpt?
soto compares his experience to his wifes experience in order to criticize marriage in a multicultural society.
soto lists a series of events to present guidelines on how to live in a multicultural society.
soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.
soto uses a cause - and - effect format to show how a persons heritage can limit his or her marriage choices.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, Soto narrates a personal story (talking, having apple pie and coffee, Carolyn taking his hand, waving). This story - telling (narrative) is used to convey a point about living in a multicultural society (mentioning "Her people were like Mexicans, only different").

• The first option about criticizing marriage is not supported as the text is more about the multicultural aspect.
• Listing a series of events to present guidelines is not the case; it's more of a personal anecdote for a point.
• There is no clear cause - and - effect format about heritage limiting marriage choices.

Answer:

Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.
