Read the excerpt from "A Latina Judge's Voice" by Hon. Sonia Sotomayor.

First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.

What is the purpose of Sotomayor's use of the word wise?

A:to emphasize the value of a Latina woman's experience

B:to add entertainment value to the speech for the audience

C:to distract the audience from the reality of the courtroom

D:to demonstrate that an effective judge needs an education
