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.
I believe that they have a great relationship. George has taken care of Lennie for a while now and they do things like travel and work together.
Hope this helps✨❤️
Also, Merry Christmas!!
India’s geography contributed to its isolation from the rest
of Asia. It is a peninsula but on the North, the Himalayas shields it from
invasion of both men and ideas. On the East there are dense forests that
although have lower height, is infested with malaria. Great oceans surround the
south and mountain ranges that are difficult to traverse block the West. As a
result, the Indian community developed its caste system, the most elaborate
expression in history of an unmoving agricultural society.
