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 keywords that might help in the search would be "mental health issues and homeless", "homeless addictions", and "substance disorders and homeless".
Some research has found that is a direct connection between homelesness and substance use disorders.
It is not responsible to call homeless drug addicts, because beyond what you see there could be a life of pain and suffering.
Research states that homelessness is not a permanent condition but a temporary circumstance that should not define poeple's future.
But sometimes, the information that stems from the research indicates that there is a correlation between substance abuse and people becoming homeless.
