Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" and "Speaking Arabic."
My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of
receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of
Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of
his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.
At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican
Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, "I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel-so
lonely for one." And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
Which best states how the structures of both excerpts engage the reader?
O They employ statistical evidence.
O They employ figurative language.
O They employ supporting quotes.
O They employ an authoritative tone.

What best states how the structures of both excerpts engage the reader is They employ figurative language. Option B

Neither excerpt employs statistical evidence, an authoritative tone, or supporting quotes. However, both excerpts employ figurative language to engage the reader. In "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry," the metaphor of "taking the tortillas out" is used to represent removing the cultural essence from poetry, which engages the reader's imagination and emotions. In "Speaking Arabic," the personification of trees "dangling their thick branches right down over his head" creates a vivid and emotional image that engages the reader's senses.

QUESTION 3: ESSAY [50] The inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in the curriculum is one way that the South African curriculum can be Africanised/decolonized. Read the paragraph below and then discuss to which extent you agree or disagree with the notion of the Africanisation of the curriculum in South African universities. Use the following guidelines to structure your essay: ● ● State your argument in the introduction, in other words to what degree do you agree or disagree that the Africanisation of education in South Africa will yield positive results; In the body, substantiate your argument with facts from research; Conclude your essay by summarizing the main point and showing how your argument ties with the evidence found through research. Please note: Information taken from research must be referenced, if not referenced it will constitute to plagiarism and you will be penalised for it. 1 mark will be deducted for every unreferenced source. "Student population in most African universities is predominantly black Africans. Ironically, these universities' curricula are still dominated by Western epistemologies and knowledge systems instead of allowing other knowledge systems, particularly indigenous ones, to co-exist with Western systems. African universities are thus faced with the challenge to Africanise or indigenise their curricula in order to better and relevantly service their students." (Gumbo, M.T.
