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.

Answer:

America is a united country despite its cultural differences.

Explanation:

Supporting evidence in the text:

" <em>Other</em> countries with <em>such divisions</em> have in fact <em>divided</em> into new nations with new names, but not this one, impossibly <u>interwoven even in its hostilities</u>."

Write 2mins paragraph on ‘Decorum while travelling on trains or planes’.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

When socialising or appearing in public, there are simple etiquettes to follow.

Etiquettes are simply civil behaviour or manners that are good to have. They demonstrate that we are well behaved, intelligent and give consideration to others who share the same space with us at that time.

Trains are mostly a public mode of transportation. When travelling by train or aeroplane, the chances are high that one would share the space with at least one other person. So here are the following etiquettes to observe:

  1. Be mindful not to keep your conversations loud
  2. Eating smelly food such as garlic may be very offensive to others. Also, chewing loudly is very uncivil whether it is on a train in an aeroplane or at home.
  3. It is improper to complete personal grooming in public spaces. Doing one's manicure for example can be quite messy. You don't want nail clippings to fly onto your fellow passenger's lap, food or clothing.
  4. When using earbuds, earphones etc, always check to ensure that the audio is not so loud the other person can hear it.

Cheers
