Answer:

The lines form the very first sentence of the essay "A Quilt of a Country" by Anna Quindlen.

Explanation:

The given statement or claim is from Anna Quindlen's essay "A Quilt of A Country" where she presents the American nation as a<em> "quilt"</em> that is formed of a bond between the numerous nationalities in it. This commentary delves into the cultural diversity of the people amidst the claim that it is a nation racially discriminating against 'outsiders'.

The given line is from the very first sentence of the essay. Beginning her commentary with the claim that <em>"America is an improbable idea"</em>, Quindlen seems to assert that America may be unrealistic, or impossible to happen but it did happen. And not only that, it <em>"works despite the challenges"</em> it is faced with. And it is these <em>"challenges" </em>that brings the united spirit of the people, in times of<em> "a common enemy"</em>.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly My brother, is a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.My brother,is a tru
Snezhnost [94]

I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:

<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly? </em>

<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>

<em />

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.
