Ellen Patrick · Answer 1

In my opinion, the correct answer is D. The speaker of Okita’s poem attempts to characterize herself in ways that have little to do with her heritage. Academic style doesn't only describe. It also binds the subject to universal terms and notions, situating it in a broader context. Therefore, instead of using "to present oneself", it will use "to characterize oneself" because it has a broader connotation and a universal meaning. Instead of using the term "customs" it will use the term "heritage", implying that customs spring from tradition and the past.
