Answer:

As much as the brothers dislike being stereotyped for being "Merican," they stereotype their own sister based on  gender.

Explanation:

Irony is when a person expresses a certain thing but meant a completely different thing. Or it can also be taken as a situation where one thing is meant but a different thing happened. This rhetorical device is used when a person says one thing but meant something else.

In the given excerpt from Sandra Cisneros's "Mericans", the irony is when the brothers discriminated against their sister based on her gender. They know what it's like to be discriminated against, for they were also stereotyped for being Americans despite being immigrants just like others. And they did not like that. But at the same time, they did the exact same thing to their sister when they gender-stereotyped her.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Read the following excerpt from 'Summer Night, Riverside by Sara Teasdale:
In the wild soft summer darkness
How many and many a night we two together
Sat in the park and watched the Hudson
Wearing her lights like golden spangles
Glinting on black satin.
The rail along the curving pathway
Was low in a happy place to let us cross,
And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom
Sheltered us
While your kisses and the flowers,
Falling, falling,
Tangled my hair....
The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky.

PLS HELP!!! Read the Becoming a National Treasure.

The Grand Canyon has been a well-known destination since before the 1890s. However, its journey to becoming a national park did not happen right away. Though settlers had been traveling to the canyon for decades, the first high-profile visit occurred in 1903. At that time, President Roosevelt visited the canyon for the first time. After viewing the canyon, he spoke about the awe he felt. He stated that it should be protected, so that every American could visit it one day. Even though Roosevelt talked about the importantce of protecting the park, it was still not named as a national park.

It was not until 1906 that Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Preserve. Then, in 1908 he created the Grand Canyon National Monument. This told Americans that the park was of cultural importantce to the country. Though the first Senate bills to make the Grand Canyon a national park were in 1882 and 1886, other bills followed in 1910 and 1911. It was not until February 1919 that the Grand Canyon was officially named a national park. The Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson.

The naming of the Grand Canyon as a national park is known as an early conservation effort. Some people had been hoping to create a man-made dam in the Colorado River within the park. However, they could not build the dam because the area was protected. The borders of the park expanded in 1975. During this year, the Marble Canyon National Monument became a part of the Grand Canyon National Park. Finally, in 1979, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) named the park a World Heritage Site. By becoming a World Heritage Site, the Grand Canyon National Park became protected by international law.

Select a detail from the text that demonstrates the overall text structure.

A. He stated that it should be protected, so that every American could visit it one day.
B. However, its journey to becoming a national park did not happen right away.
C. Some people had been hoping to create a man-made dam in the Colorado River within the park.
D. Though settlers had been traveling to the canyon for decades, the first high-profile visit occurred in 1903.

Archaeologists believe that they have located the long-lost skeleton of Princess Eadgyth. Eadgyth (pronounced "Edith") was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman during the tenth century. Scientists are testing the bones to determine whether they are hers. The skeleton was found inside Magdeburg Cathedral in Germany. Eadgyth's name was carved on the coffin. If the bones are Eadgyth's, they will be the oldest complete set of remains of any English royalty. During her lifetime, Eadgyth's half-brother King Athelstan ruled all of England. He had Eadgyth marry Duke Otto of Saxony, who ultimately became one of Europe's most powerful rulers. As duchess, Eadgyth's role was to dazzle the public.

A new law is being considered that would increase sales tax on junk food and soda. For a school project, Zach's health teacher assigned an argumentative essay about
this topic.
Which of the following demonstrates an introductory paragraph that maintains a formal style appropriate for Zach's argumentative essay?
We live in America and should be able to choose what clothes we wear, what car we drive, and what food we eat. I ain't going to pay extra for the food I eat. They can't
do that, can they? We should have freedom to do and eat what we want without having to pay more for It.
America Is a country that offers a lot of free thinking and cholces. As a citizen of this country, I should be allowed to chill when I come home from school and eat my
O favorite foods. I also eat other healthy stuff too, but there are just times when me and my friends want something different. I eat vegetables for snacks too, but a few chips
aren't going to hurt anyone.
America is built up on the foundation of freedom and independence. Just as the Founding Fathers made the country free, each individual person has freedom and choice as
O well. Included in this freedom is the ability to choose what to eat. This cholce should not be motivated by the Imposition of an increase in sales tax. Even though increasing
sales tax on junk food and soda may cause people to eat healthier, it should be the free choice of the consumer what he or she purchases.
I am not sure that increasing sales tax on junk foods would be a good thing. Many people would continue to eat all of the bad things that they eat now, but they will just
