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:
aloneness
Explanation:
The poem “The Lady of Shalott” tells the story of the young isolated woman. The lady lives in the tower on the island that lies on the river flowing to Camelot. Lady knows she is bound by some curse, but she is not sure what it is nor what are the consequences. She looks on to the road to Camelot through the mirror, while weaving at all times.
<u>However, she becomes more isolated and lonely over time.</u> <u>In one line she says, 'I am half sick of shadows,' meaning she doesn’t want only to see the shadows of the people and their lives while being unable to live her life herself with other people.</u>
When she sees Sir Lancelot, she is overflown with the wish for the company and decides to stop weaving and leave the island. However, she dies before arriving at the shore of Camelot. <u>Her wish to meet other people and stop being alone brought down the said curse upon her. </u>
Answer:
C.) The line breaks make sure that the reader slows down as they read
Explanation:
The poem has these breaks in the lines to serve as a way for the reader to see the emphasize on the meaning behind the words.
"What your mother tells you
now
in time
you will come to know",
The bolded words are read slower and the meaning is emphasized on them compared to if the poem were written as, "What your mother tells you now in time you will come to know." Thus these breaks trigger the reader to slow down and fathom the meaning of the words more.
A paragraph in an essay and NOT an example of insertion.
