I missed like 10 security tags that the loss prevention guy had to get . I also became so convinced that a woman that the woman I was checking out had to be either Maya Angelou or Rita Dove that I slyly asked her if she 'd ever taught English . The customers that followed her spoke little English and an older man of that party gestured out of the store with such majesty and bravado , that I thought he might be saying in Spanish to his little grandson with the spider man costume that yes , this surely was god 's country .

Question: Why does the speaker ask the woman he is checking out if she has ever taught english ?
Answer: Because he wants to find out if she is either Rita Dove or Maya Angelou , as these women taught EnglishHe has an upcoming English paper about Rita Dove and wonders if the woman can give him some adviceNone of the above choices .He is annoyed by the people in line who ca n't speak English and is making a snide reference to this
