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.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Answer:

A theme is the message the playwright is trying to communicate to the audience. Themes are usually topics that should be analyzed by the audience in order to reflect about the message behind the play, and on their own reality.

A plot are the events and actions that happen in a drama. It could be a synonym of the story itself, since the plot refers to the sequence of events.

The setting is the time and place in which the drama is set. It is usually found at the beginning of the play, and it gives information about the context of the story, and prepares the reader for the action.

Characters are the people or creatures who are part of the drama. They are the ones that either perform or are affected by the actions. It is through their dialogues that the playwright explores the themes in the play.
