Explanation:

Ortiz Cofer's work explores the breaks and holes that emerge between her split cultural legacies. Her initial drenching in both Puerto Rican and American culture molded her multi-kind methodology, which incorporates works of fiction, writing, verse, and some of the time a mix of the three. Her work The Latin Deli, which was selected for a Pulitzer-Prize, investigates different types, joining verse, short fiction, and individual account. She was additionally a writer of children's books.

D. By describing the voice of Elenita's mother as soft and sad, the author emphasizes her hurt, leaving the reader sympathetic to her.

Explanation:
