How does Sandra Cisneros capture the idea of multicultural voices with the title of the short story "Mericans"?

A.) The characters are American, so the title describes them extremely well.

B.) The dropping of the letter “A” more strongly emphasizes Mexican culture.

C.) The word is a blend of both languages, and thus represents both cultures.

D.) The misspelling of the word reveals that English is the children’s second language.

I think the answer is C. The word is a blend of both languages, and thus represents both cultures. I believe this because it makes the most sense out of all the answers and it is a blended title.

The correct answer is:

C. The word is a blend of both languages, and thus represents both cultures.

Explanation:

Mericans is a short story written by Sandra Cisneros that talks about a Mexican girl and her brothers, and the contrast of two different cultures with their grandmother being faithful to their roots and the children forgetting their native culture and embracing the American culture more than the Mexican culture. The name Mericans by itself creates a mix between both languages and both Mexican and American cultures, and demonstrates what the short story is going to be about.
