Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." The New York of my children is no more Balkanized, probably less so, than the Phil

adelphia of my father, in which Jewish boys would walk several blocks out of their way to avoid the Irish divide of Chester Avenue. (I was the product of a mixed marriage, across barely bridgeable lines: an Italian girl, an Irish boy. How quaint it seems now, how incendiary then.) The Brooklyn of Francie Nolan's famous tree, the Newark of which Portnoy complained, even the uninflected WASP suburbs of Cheever's characters: they are ghettos, pure and simple. Do the Cambodians and the Mexicans in California coexist less easily today than did the Irish and Italians of Massachusetts a century ago? You know the answer. What technique does Quindlen use to support the idea that America is less polarized now than it was in past history? facts and statistics neutral language quotations from other people vivid imagery

Vivid imagery

The answer choices about facts and statistics and quotations should immediately be eliminated. There are no statistics or quotations anywhere in the excerpt. The speaker does not use neutral language when he says words like quaint, incendiary, and uninflected. All of these carry an opinion. Vivid imagery is correct because of the way he talks about the different groups and their locations.

Do people need empathy? <br> Why you think this quality matters in our current world?
Taya2010 [7]
People don’t need empathy, if the person wants to be more empathic, I think it showcases the person and shows how they could understand someone’s feeling especially in a cyber world of 2021 where almost everyone is either dying or killing them selves in other vices, if more people develop these feeling they can make the people around them feel better and see that more emotions need to be felt than just assumptions and judging someone at first glance. People could bring emotions back into an online society of text and lol’s in which everyone is a walking robot. In the short answer none of anything matters and everyone will die, so all these feelings are useless unless people and society want to care about others and start treating people more kindly and more respectful manner than a cut throat be kill or die trying attitude.
