Carolina Hospital notes that Cuban-American writers who write primarily in English are dismissed from anthologies and analyses of Cuban exile literature on that account. She argues that since these writers were born in Cuba and consider themselves Cuban writers, they should not be ignored, and maintains that they represent a new phase of Cubanness, one that is expressed in the language comfortable to its writers--- English. Moreover, another critic notes that the Spanish and English traditions of Cuban-American writing have different but equally viable functions. The English branch seeks to create a distinctive culture of Cuban roots in the United States, whereas the Spanish branch wishes to preserve a specifically Cuban culture while seeking affiliation with the canon of Latin American letters.Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.Hospital, as presented in the passage, would probably agree with which of the following statements about Cuban-American writing?

For Cuban-American writers, writing in English is not irreconcilable with Cuban identity.

Archaeologists studying Bonito phase (ca. A.D. 900-1140) Native American ceramics from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, observed that many pots had been altered after firing to revise their decorative designs--usually, intricate geometric patterns painted in black on white slipped surfaces. In some cases, a new design was imposed over an earlier one; less often, the original design was simply covered with white slip. Crown and Wills doubt that the alterations were made to correct design errors. Many Chaco pots with design errors were left unaltered. Furthermore, when errors were corrected, revisions were made prior to firing—either by painting directly over the error or by scraping off designs and applying new slip and paint, which is a less time-consuming method than repainting and refiring flawed pots.The author of the passage mentions Crown and Wills primarily in order to

Distinguish among different factors that might have caused Chaco potters to alter their pots’ decorative designs.

B. Introduce new evidence related to the question of why Chaco potters altered their pots’ decorative designs.

C. Show how one potential explanation for the alteration of Chaco pots has been discounted.

D. Present a hypothesis about why Chaco pots were altered to revise their decorative designs.
