Bharati Mukherjee is an Indian woman who went to America during her school days and spent 2 years in Iowa. After that, she went back to Calcutta and married a man who was chosen for her. With her husband she moved to Canada where she found difficulties with society because of her cultural background.

After 14 years of living in Canada she decided to move to the United States and become an American citizen by her choice. She decided to do that because of the principles that were set in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights made her be more conscious about her human rights and the empowerment it gave to citizens. But now she considers the conversation of what it means to be American a big controversy.

Violence against immigrants is dividing the country between “us and them”. But Americans mostly forget that the US was built upon the many types of immigrants. They forget that American Culture has been affected by American Indians, African American, Latin American and, Asian American cultures.

Her overall purpose is to warn people and make them see that America is a mix of cultures. When she mentions <em>“We must be alert to the dangers of an “us” vs. “them” mentality”</em> and <em>“We must think of American culture and nationhood as a constantly re-forming, transmogrifying “we.””</em> she wants to let Americans and all cultures know that adding is gaining and that immigrants of all parts of the world will add to the culture more value and it will make it more diverse and inspiring.

Which one of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?
salantis [7]
<span>The correct answer is b. The sea calmed, but no boats left shore. Option a is incorrect because there are unnecessary commas between the noun and its verb ("sea, calmed" and "boats, left"). Option c is incorrect because when using a semi colon, the phrases on both sides of it should be able to stand alone. While "the sea calmed" can work by itself, "but no boats, left shore" cannot, thus rendering the semi colon incorrect. Additionally, there is an unnecessary comma between the noun "boats" and the verb "left." Finally, option d is incorrect because there should be a comma before the conjunction "but."</span>
