The correct answer is: “strange” and “suffocating”

In this excerpt, the author tries to create a tone of anxiety by using some words closely related to this feeling, as for example, "strange" and "suffocating".

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.
The symbolism of the new cloak in this excerpt is - the new cloak represents Odysseus's transformation from a weary traveler to the returning hero.
He spent many years on the sea, far from his family and loved ones, and he became old and tired. This new cloak is his transformation - he is a hero now, and he has come back to Ithaca to rule again.
