Hello. I know you've already provided the answer. I'd like to confirm it and offer further explanation.
Answer:
The statement that best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph is:
2. America is a united country despite its cultural differences.
Explanation:
The paragraph we are analyzing here is an excerpt from the article "A Quilt of a Country", by author Anna Quindlen. Quindlen discusses how America is interestingly contradictory.
Just like a quilt, America is a result of dissimilar parts all patched together. All kinds of people, having to live in such close proximity, end up addressing one another with prejudice and even hatred. However, in spite of these differences and unlike other countries, America remains united. In the excerpt, the author mentions different groups and how they are frequently "on the verge of fisticuffs". Still, they are "impossibly interwoven". Therefore, the cultural differences may make things a bit more difficult, but they do not break this nation apart.
Answer:
C. Emily's sister gave birth to two twins.
Explanation:
A redundancy is when you say something two times in the same sentence, using different words that express the same, form example in the sentence, it says that Emily´s sister gave birht to two twins, when you are saying that she gave birth to twins you already know that there were two of them, you don´t need to say two twins, that´s a redundancy.
