Hello. I know you've already provided the answer. I'd like to confirm it and offer further explanation.
Answer:
The statement that best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph is:
2. America is a united country despite its cultural differences.
Explanation:
The paragraph we are analyzing here is an excerpt from the article "A Quilt of a Country", by author Anna Quindlen. Quindlen discusses how America is interestingly contradictory.
Just like a quilt, America is a result of dissimilar parts all patched together. All kinds of people, having to live in such close proximity, end up addressing one another with prejudice and even hatred. However, in spite of these differences and unlike other countries, America remains united. In the excerpt, the author mentions different groups and how they are frequently "on the verge of fisticuffs". Still, they are "impossibly interwoven". Therefore, the cultural differences may make things a bit more difficult, but they do not break this nation apart.
Answer:
(a) Florida belongs to the Spanish.
Explanation:
Elisa Carbone's novel "Blood on the River" revolves around the story of a British teenager and his journey to James Town in America. The novel follows Samuel Collier and his journey by sea, going to the new settlement of Jamestown in America, which the British had conquered/ colonized.
Samuel was one of the many passengers on <em>"The Susan Constant"</em> making its way to America. Though he was a page of the ship's captain, Captain John Smith, Samuel also wanted to explore and go to the New World, that is America. But as they traveled along, the ship doesn't dock in Florida as the place was under the Spanish. And at that time, the Spanish and the British were all fighting to get more land colonized for their respective kings or empires.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
