Answer:
O The first paragraph discusses the idea that Americans are united as one despite their differences. The second paragraph discusses the idea that acts of intolerance make it difficult to believe that Americans are united as one.
Explanation:
Anna Quindlen's "A Quilt of a Country" is a commentary on the spirit of the American nation as a whole in dealing with enemies and uniting against a common enemy. The focus of this literary work is to emphasize how Americans unify against a foreign enemy while at times being discriminatory against an immigrant within themselves.
In the first paragraph, Quindlen presents a united American against a common enemy, fighting for a common aim despite their differences. But the second paragraph presents an idea of acts of intolerance that makes it hard to accept and understand how they can be united as one.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
