Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."What is the point of this splintered whole? What is the point of a nation in which

Arab cabbies chauffeur Jewish passengers through the streets of New York—and in which Jewish cabbies chauffeur Arab passengers, too, and yet speak in theory of hatred, one for the other? What is the point of a nation in which one part seems to be always on the verge of fisticuffs with another, blacks and whites, gays and straights, left and right, Pole and Chinese and Puerto Rican and Slovenian? Other countries with such divisions have in fact divided into new nations with new names, but not this one, impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities.Once these disparate parts were held together by a common 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. Terrorism has led to devastation—and unity.Which statement best traces the development of a central idea from one paragraph to the next?
A. america’s cultural differences have caused it to fracture.
B. america is a united country despite its cultural differences.
C. america’s cultural differences make it impossible to live peacefully.
D. america is always on the verge of civil unrest due to its multicultural citizens.

Answer:

B

America is a united country despite its cultural differences

Explanation:

As the title ¨A Quilt of a Country¨ already explains, America - it would be more correctly to use U.S. by the way - is a multicultural layer of different peoples, beliefs and races, joined together. Although the problems caused by this quilt society are manyfolded, like for instance the idea of a national identity that might evaporate, in the end there is a sense of hope and not of despair when Terrorism is leading to unity.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Wherever the crime novels of P.D. James are discussed by critics, there is a tendency on the one hand to <u><em>exaggerate</em></u> her merits and on the other to <u><em>castigate</em></u> her as a genre writer who is getting above herself. Perhaps underlying the debate is that familiar, false opposition set up between different kinds of fiction, according to which<u><em> enjoyable</em></u> novels are held to be somehow slightly lowbrow, and a novel is not considered true literature unless it is a tiny bit dull.

Explanation:

P. D. James (Phyllis Dorothy James) was an English Crime writer born on 3 August 1920. She is famously known for her series of detective novels including police commander and the poet Adam Dalgliesh.
