Answer:

The quotations from “A Quilt of a Nation” that develop the author’s viewpoint that America’s diversity is what unifies it are:

"That's because it was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal."

and...

"These are the representatives of a mongrel nation that somehow, at times like this, has one spirit."

Explanation:

These two quotations talk about putting together things that are totally different so they can work in a whole.

Answer:

{X} "That's because it was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal."

{X} "These are the representatives of a mongrel nation that somehow, at times like this, has one spirit."

Explanation:

In the first option, we can justify it as a correct answer by understanding that although the many bits seem discordant, the author states that that's what makes America. "Out of many, one" in the Author's own words.

The second one is quite easier. The whole sentence has an idea of unit: One Spirit".

What is a good strategy for encouraging collaborative conversation?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Encourage everyone to express their opinions freely.

Explanation:

Communication can be defined as a process which typically involves the transfer of information from one person (sender) to another (recipient), through the use of semiotics, symbols and signs that are mutually understood by both parties.

An effective communication can be defined as an act that typically involves conveying or disseminating information efficiently and effectively from an individual (sender) to another (recipient) without any redundancy. Thus, effective communication ensures that messages or information are transmitted properly, guarantees a feedback, lacks the use of harsh tones, ensures both parties are well understood, gives room for clarity etc.

A good strategy for encouraging collaborative conversation is to encourage everyone to express their opinions freely.

This ultimately implies that, none of the group members should be silenced or restricted from sharing their opinions, ideas or feelings about the subject matter (topic being discussed). This would go a long way to stimulate and promote collaborative conversation as many members would share their opinions and ideas freely.

Steinbeck uses the setting of this chapter to help mirror the opening of the book. In particular, he uses phrases and images tha

patriot [66]

Answer:

a. Another example of mirroring used by Steinbeck is the conversation between Lennie and George near the pool.

' "If you don’ want me I can go off in the hills an’ find a cave. I can go away any time."

"No - look! I was jus’ foolin’, Lennie. ’Cause'. I want you to stay

with me. ' (Chapter 1).

' "Well, I can go away," said Lennie. "I'll go right off in the hills an'

find a cave if you don' want me."

George shook himself again. "No," he said. "I want you to stay

with me here." ' (Chapter 6).

b. Steinbeckhas used this mirroring technique to show his reader that how George and Lennie are back to the place from where they began. A place where George shares his dream with Lennie.

Explanation:

'Of Mice and Men' is a novella set during the time of the Great Depression and written by John Steinbeck. The novella is about two ranch laborers, named George and Lennie.

The author has used the mirroring technique in his novella to depict the cycle of life. The story ends at the very same place it began.

a. Another example of mirroring technique used by Steinbeck is the conversation between George and Lennie. In Chapter 1, George and Lennie talks with each other near the pool talking about their dream. Similarly, George and Lennie have conversation with each other, last time, sharing dreams, at the same place where they began.

' "If you don’ want me I can go off in the hills an’ find a cave. I can go away any time."

"No - look! I was jus’ foolin’, Lennie. ’Cause'. I want you to stay

with me. ' (Chapter 1).

' "Well, I can go away," said Lennie. "I'll go right off in the hills an'

find a cave if you don' want me."

George shook himself again. "No," he said. "I want you to stay

with me here." ' (Chapter 6).

b. Steinbeck has used this mirroring technique to depict the cycle of life. George and Lennie come to the same place in Chapter 1 where they started in Chapter 1. George shares with Lennie the same dream at the same place, with the only difference that now, in chapter 6, the dream will not be fulfilled. They share their last conversation in Chapter 6.
