Answer:

The statement that best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph is letter <u>B) America is a united country despite its cultural differences.</u>

Explanation:

In the article "A Quilt of a Country", author Anna Quindlen discusses how America is interestingly contradictory. She compares the country to a quilt, in the sense that they are both patched together from dissimilar parts. America is formed by all sorts of people, from all over the world. Quindlen mentions that people in America are constantly finding a reason to judge others, to complain about those who are different. Yet, the country remains united, especially in times of fear, of war. It's as if the thread that keeps the patches together were, in America's case, having a common enemy or a common ideal. In the excerpt we are studying here, Quindlen mentions different groups and how they are frequently "on the verge of fisticuffs". Still, they are "impossibly interwoven". There is of separating them. They are all part of the whole, which is America itself.

What is beef caldereta? Describe 'beef caldereta' in a 1 paragraph but in your own words
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Beef Kaldereta (or Caldereta) is a Filipino spicy tomato-based beef stew loved by many Filipinos. This spicy dish is commonly served on holidays and special occasions but believe me, there is no need to wait for a special event to enjoy this classic Filipino dish. Traditionally, Caldereta is prepared using goat meat. But since it is rather difficult to come by, I opted to cook it with the more easily available meat…beef.  Beef is actually the more preferred meat by many as goat meat can be an acquired taste due to it’s ‘gamey’ flavor or what we term as ‘maanggo’ in Tagalog.  And because this dish is so loved in the Philippines, especially in the north,  that a lot of people cook it using whatever meat they like or is available, like pork and chicken.
