The correct option is 2)Argumentative: In an argumentative text you discuss a subject or problem from different perspectives. At this time, Anna Quindlen the author of "A quilt of a country" states that although the great diversity found in America creates a lot of problems in the cities, it also serves as a quality to make America more special, and for this she uses a literature metaphor: Quilt, to put into other perspective her intention in the text. Although the author recurs to real episodes happend in America It's not autobiografical because doesn't talk about a particular person's life. It's not fictional because most of information is based on real facts, although uses literature metaphors to make the idea clearer.
