Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault line

s 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. What is the connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? something powerful and threatening something familiar and interesting something harmless and pleasant something amusing and impressive.

Answer: something powerful and threatening

Explanation:

A connotation is the meaning suggested by a word, including the emotions and associations that it comprises.

The literal definition of a fault line is a ground fracture caused by the movement of tectonic plates that could provoke an earthquake.

However, in this excerpt is used in its connotative meaning to describe the powerful and threatening wars and communist ideas that resembled a common enemy for different states, creating a feeling of national identity.

NeTakaya
Here's an answer:

"As you know, I am an upstanding member of the academic team, basketball team, volleyball team, student counsel, and future engineer club. Being an outstanding student and athlete, I hope that you will find my objection to your cancelling of my senior class prom compelling. My family and I have attended church with you and your son, who graduated last year, my entire life. I've always found you to be a reasonable and caring man, who always has his students' best interest at heart. Prom is a right of passage for every high school student. It is a night to celebrate the friendships, long years of gruesome school work, and the coming of our adult lives. We have worked extremely hard on the fundraisers to pay for prom. It would be a waste of all the time and effort put into it, if you cancel prom."

Ethos means to show the ethics of the situation or your good character.
Pathos- means to try to incline to their emotions.
Logos- means to appeal to their reasoning or logic.
