Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault line

s of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. What is the connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? something powerful and threatening something familiar and interesting something harmless and pleasant something amusing and impressive

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Fragment

Explanation:

It should be combined into one sentence that reads “For brunch this morning, the GOAT made pancakes that were crispy on the edges, but soft and sweet in the center.” The first sentence is a complete sentence but the second one is not. In this context “That” should not start its own sentence.
