Which of the following words and phrases from the poem does NOT contribute to our understanding of the speaker's cultural background?

A. hotel
B. turista
C. cactus fence
D. mango yellow

Answer A. Being from or in a hotel could be anywhere in the world, really. "Turista" is a word in spanish meaning tourist that helps us understand the location (some spanish-speaking country). "Cactus fence" tells us it's in a dryer climate of the Spanish-speaking country, and "Mango yellow" indicates that it is somewhere mangos are naturally found.
Since hotels could be found anywhere and are not specific to one cultural background, Answer A is the only word that doesn't contribute to understanding where the speaker is from. Hope this helps! :)

The word that does not contribute to our understanding of the speaker's cultural background is A. hotel, as it is a common term used worldwide and lacks specific cultural context. In contrast, the other words provide hints about a Spanish-speaking environment. Hence, A is the least informative about the speaker's background.
