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.

( GIVE BRAINLIEST )

The hunger games is a novel that unfolds in Panem, an apocalyptic world. The story is centered on a 16-year-old girl, Katniss Everdeen and her struggle for survival in dystopia. Each year, as a punishment for the failed rebellion by District 13, the 12 Panem Districts are forced to pay tribute to the ruthless Capitol regime. The story begins on the day of reaping at District 12. A day that each district is required to offer two tributes, a boy and a girl aged 12 to 18 years to participate in the games. This was going to be the 74th hunger games.

In a twist of fate, Prim Katniss’ 12-year-old sister is selected as one of the tributes. Having lost their father at a young age, she isn’t going to let her mother lose her too as she swore always to protect them. She volunteers to take her sister’s place, and together with the baker’s son, Peeta Mellark they represent district 12. What follows is a series of events that will put Katniss in the spotlight both as a source of hope for the oppressed and as an enemy of the Capitol. Her feelings for Peeta will be exploited for the games, which are aired across all the districts.

She will make new friends, enemies, inspire and give hope to many people in Panem thanks to her performance in the games. What makes the hunger games a more thrilling story is the games win or die rule. Will Katniss have the heart to kill Peeta and vice versa, or will they both survive? This is the Hunger Games summary of the plot.
