Answer:
- The sentence that best explains how the context of the excerpt supports the author's idea is: <u><em>"When photographs of the faces of all those who died in the World Trade Center destruction are assembled in one place, it will be possible to trace in the skin color, the shape of the eyes and the noses, the texture of the hair, a map of the world."</em></u>
- Quindlen uses the context of the World Trade Center attacks to describe the unity among Americans of all different nationalities.
Explanation:
We can see that Quindlen's idea that all Americans unite during times of difficulty is present when she talks about the Tade Center destruction and how people from different ethnicities and nationalities died. The loss of all of them was equally felt by Americans because, even if all the victims were different, it is the loss of the people that makes our nation.
The attack on the World Trade Center is a clear example of how Americans, even with their different nationalities, come together during hard times thank patriotism, which makes all the citizens leave their differences behind for the country.

Answer:
Jan becomes emotionally attracted to Chris, while Alex loves Jan. Chris and Bob are in a secret relationship (don't judge) that they want no one to realize. After Jan confesses to Chris and is rejected, Jan spends the next 2 years of her life investigating Chris, eventually coming to the conclusion that Bob is Chris' sweetheart (again, don't judge). Jan invites Bob on a vacation to Greece, planning to murder Bob to possibly become Chris'. However, on the flight to Greece, the airplane crashes into the Ocean, more than 50 miles from any major piece of land. Backtracking slightly, as we have yet to mention Alex's role. Alex discovers of Jan and Bob's vacation, and misunderstands, believing THEY are the ones who love each other. Alex secretly boards the same flight as the two, and midair, kills the pilot and purposely crashes the plane into the ocean. There were no survivors on the trip, much to Chris' distraught upon his discovery.
