Hi, I need help with my English 11 homework. I have marked the options I think are correct with stars.

1. Which of the following is a defining feature of women's contribution to American and colonial literature?

A. deck
B. hold
C. suffered
D. suffocated

2. Read the following Yaqui song. Identify its purpose.

"In Cocori is a young girl
Whose name is Hesucita
She is a pretty girl.
Her eyes look like stars.
Her pretty eyes are like stars moving."

A. To inform
B. To persuade
C. To analyze
D. To express

Answer :

I believe you wrote the wrong options for the first question. The defining feature of women's contribution to American and colonial literature is that they were underrepresented. They didn't have the rights that men did at the time, and they often wrote bout these things in their texts.
As for the second question, the purpose of the poem is D. to express, particularly, to express some feelings the narrator obviously has for the girl.
