In "A Quilt Of A Country", Quindlen's point in comparing present-day New York with Philadelphia in her father's time is that in America, there is a clinging to the ethnicity, in background and custom, that has undermined the concept of unity. In her father's time in Philadelphia, Jewish boys would walk several blocks out of their way to avoid the Irish divide of Chester Avenue. I hope this helps.
For this question, the choices are:
<span>1) Each
2) Both
3) Either
4) Neither
</span>
And the answer is both because it is the only plural pronoun that refers to one or more nouns in the sentence, hence the use of "were". Each, either and neither refer to only one of the other and thus would use "was" instead of "were" to refer to a singular noun.
