Question
I am a fourteen-year-old girl with bad spelling and a messy room . If it helps any,I will tell you I have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs. Read the excerpt from "Mericans." Micaela, you may wait outside with Alfredito and Enrique. The awful grandmother says it all in Spanish, which I understand when I'm paying akention. "What?" I say though it's neither proper not polite. Which idea is true of the speakers in both excerpts? They feel a tension between their cultural heritage and American identity They wish their families were native to the United States They feel more connected to their cultural heritage than to American culture. They are bilingual and move easily from one culture to another.

Answer
La idea que es verdadera para los hablantes en ambos extractos es: **Sienten una tensión entre su herencia cultural y la identidad estadounidense.**Ambos fragmentos reflejan una sensación de estar atrapados entre dos culturas diferentes, lo cual puede crear una tensión interna al tratar de equilibrar su herencia cultural con la identidad estadounidense.
