<p>Also BB 677 # 16, 18 and 19</p>
<p>For p647 #7 you want to focus on the last sentence "The use of two languages...expresses the difficulty that the author perceives in narrating personal experience in one language when one has lived in another"</p>
<p>Let's go through the answer choices...</p>
<p>Which of the following situations is most analogous to the problem presented in the passage?</p>
<p>(A) A Hispanic American artist living in Chile has difficulty selling his paintings
-- We know this is wrong because it has nothing to do with language..
(B) A Cherokee columnist assumes that readers of national newspapers are unfamiliar with Native American cultures
-- The dilemma contrasts two languages in explaining an experience in one but living the other....culture is too far out there..</p>
<p>(C) An African American novelist draws upon the historical past of African Americans to bring nuance to her work.
-- Still, this does not represent the difficulty of two different languages..nor does it represent "living one language and explaining it in another"</p>
<p>(D) Correct Answer...</p>
<p>(E) An Asian American journalist attempts to write essays for both Japanese and American audiences..
-- The journalist attempts to write essays for both Japanese and American audiences It does not say any difficulty of living one and explaining in another</p>
<p>We go back to D -- who finds it difficult to articulate insights in American English. The Russian novelist obviously displays difficulty explaining/articulating in another language..</p>
<p>We go with D, the best fit.</p>
