Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.

Even though the scope of American literature continued to broaden in the second half of the twentieth
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

America´s literary heritage

Explanation:

From the Colonial Period (17th century) and Early National Period to the Romantic Period (1830- 1870) to Realism and Naturalism (1870-1910) to the Modernist Period (1910-1945), they all contributed in some way or another to the Contemporary Period in literature, that reflected the social upheaval that acompanied the contemporary and all the other socio-political periods of America.

There is no such thing as a typical American writing style.

The core values (like the natural rights of people) do play a significant role but they don´t determine American literature.

America´s leadership or hegemony is a fact but it doesn´t make its literature consistent.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

B

America is a united country despite its cultural differences

Explanation:

As the title ¨A Quilt of a Country¨ already explains, America - it would be more correctly to use U.S. by the way - is a multicultural layer of different peoples, beliefs and races, joined together. Although the problems caused by this quilt society are manyfolded, like for instance the idea of a national identity that might evaporate, in the end there is a sense of hope and not of despair when Terrorism is leading to unity.
