Part 3 America Doesn’t Need an Official LanguageBy Carlos LozadaOpinion Columnist (New York Times, March 6, 2025) So, it’s not that I reject the arguments about efficiency and empowerment; I just question the need for a presidential order to enshrine them. I was tested on my English skills when I became a U.S. citizen a decade ago, but the market tells immigrants we must learn the language, more clearly than the government ever could. Where Trump’s order moves from redundancy to confusion to cynicism is in its statement that a single official language will “cultivate a shared American culture” and “reinforce shared national values.” After all, what is our shared culture if not the mix of cultures — including languages — that make and remake America every day? You may as well argue that a single cuisine or a single style of music or a single literary genre is more truly American than any other. Thank God that my immigrant childhood means I can read Cervantes and Mario Vargas Llosa in Spanish and Shakespeare and Toni Morrison in English. If I can, why wouldn’t I? I grew up with two languages, and I regret not learning a third the way other people learn a second. Think how much richer the nation would be if we all knew more languages, not fewer, if we embraced a multiplicity of influences rather than shielding ourselves from them. In the textbox, use your own words (not not copy from the text) write 1-2 complete sentences to answer the question. Question: What can you infer about the author's opinion on learning multiple languages based? How do you know that?

Accоrding tо Frоm Criticаl Thinking to Argument criticаl thinking consists of "seаrching for hidden assumptions, noticing various facets, unraveling different strands, and evaluating what is most significant" (3). From today's reading, what are the hidden assumptions that James Baldwin hopes to uncover in The Fire Next Time (1963)? Use the following passage to construct your answer. Write a one-paragraph response that uses the paraburger format: They have had to believe for many years, and for innumerable reasons, that black men are inferior to white men. Many of them, indeed, know better, but, as you will discover, people find it very difficult to act on what they know. To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger. In this case, the danger, in the minds of most white Americans, is the loss of their identity. Try to imagine how you would feel if you woke up one morning to find the sun shining and all the stars aflame. you would be frightened because it is out of the order of nature. Any upheaval in the universe is a terrifying because it is so profoundly attacks one's sense of one's own reality. Well, the black man has functioned in the white man's world as a fixed star, and as an immovable pillar: and as he moves out of his place, heaven and earth are shaken to their foundations. (8-9).
