The correct answer is C. It asks the reader a question
Explanation:
In writing a thesis statement is usually a short affirmative sentence that states the position of the author towards some topic or issue and therefore the main argument or point that is developed in a text. Because of this, it is considered the thesis statement is one of the most important elements in argument texts, as it does not only shows the author's position or belief but also establishes the content, the focus of the author and the tone of the text. Considering this, ti can be concluded the statement that is not true about a thesis statement is that it asks the reader a question because the thesis statement is an affirmative sentence and not a question and besides is not developed by the reader but by the author of the text.

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.
