Which sentence from the excerpt best reveals the context of the excerpt? Once these disparate parts were held together by a comm

on enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community. Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.

The sentence that best reveals the context is: "With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right."

By reading "...the end of the cold war...", the reader infers the time the story is set in. The Cold War started after the Second World War (1945) and ended in 1991 with the end of the Soviet Union.

In addition, by reading "...the left side of the hyphen - African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American - would overwhelm the right", readers can deduce that the author is referring to the US and its fear of loosing a sense of nationalism and unity among its diverse population.

In all, the setting is the US in the early 90's because of the reference to the end of the Cold War and the fear of not being unified anymore.

Which words in the sentence are the appositive phrase? His favorite meal, chicken and dumplings, is bubbling on the stove. A. Hi
natita [175]
B. chicken and dumplings

It's because the 'chicken and dumplings' is renaming the noun 'meal' that is already there. Usually to find an appositive phrase, just look beside the noun and see if the sentence works without the words beside it.
