Read the excerpt from Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban.
"Lourdes, I’m back," Jorge del Pino greets his daughter forty days after she buried him with his Panama hat, his cigars, and a bouquet of violets in a cemetery on the border of Brooklyn and Queens.
His words are warm and close as a breath. Lourdes turns, expecting to find her father at her shoulder but she sees only the dusk settling on the tops of the oak trees, the pink tinge of sliding darkness.
"Don’t be afraid, mi hija. Just keep walking and I’ll explain," Jorge del Pino tells his daughter.
The sunset flares behind a row of brownstones linking them as if by a flaming ribbon.
Which best identifies the magic realism found in the excerpt?
A. Lourdes’s father returning to her from the dead
B. the list of items Lourdes buried with her father
C. the dusk settling on the tops of the trees
D. the flaring sunset behind the brownstones

In order really to hate white people, one has to blot so much out of the mind — and the heart — that this hatred itself becomes an exhausting and self-destructive pose. but this does not mean, on the other hand, that love comes easily: the white world is too powerful, too complacent, too ready with gratuitous humiliation, and, above all, too ignorant and too innocent for that. which sentence best explains how the use of parallelism in the excerpt supports baldwin's purpose? a. it proves baldwin's central idea by highlighting the obvious. b. it emphasizes the problems that prevent one from loving the white world. c. it explains why the white world is unable to replace hate with love. d. it enumerates the many ways of dealing with the white world.
