The correct answer is A) The mixed language celebrates the poet's bicultural and bilingual identity.

The effect that the use of mixed Spanish and English has in this excerpt from "Freeway 280" by Lorna Dee Cervantes is "The mixed language celebrates the poet's bicultural and bilingual identity."

Lorna wrote the poem in 1954. As an American with Mexican roots, she expressed this cultural mix of both nations in her pieces of work. She takes the best of both, Americans and Mexican, and put it in her poems. She has written another two books on poetry: "Emplumada" (1981) and "From the Cables of Genocide: Poems on Love and Hunger" (1991).

Answer:

A) The mixed language celebrates the poet's bicultural and bilingual identity.
