Answer:

O The first paragraph discusses the idea that Americans are united as one despite their differences. The second paragraph discusses the idea that acts of intolerance make it difficult to believe that Americans are united as one.

Explanation:

Anna Quindlen's "A Quilt of a Country" is a commentary on the spirit of the American nation as a whole in dealing with enemies and uniting against a common enemy. The focus of this literary work is to emphasize how Americans unify against a foreign enemy while at times being discriminatory against an immigrant within themselves.

In the first paragraph, Quindlen presents a united American against a common enemy, fighting for a common aim despite their differences. But the second paragraph presents an idea of acts of intolerance that makes it hard to accept and understand how they can be united as one.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer:

The first uses dialogue and character; the second uses first-person point of view.

Explanation:

The first excerpt is found in Chapter Eight titled "September 2nd, 1973" from Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia. The story is from the point of view of the young Mattie Cook, describing how the pandemic had destroyed the lives of the people.

The second excerpt is from The Summer of the Pestilence by George Dodd Armstrong. The book also deals with the history of the same yellow fever that not only affected Philadelphia but also other parts of the nation such as Virginia.

While both books deal with the same pandemic, their dealing with the issue of unprecedented deaths differ a bit. The first book uses a dialogue-conversation approach, with the characters greatly involved whereas the second book uses the first person point of view to address the deaths. These two books may deal with the same issue but their approaches of the deaths and sick people differ such that their narrative plots also differ.
