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

Kamila [148]

Answer:

                                                                                   Number 6, Green Road,

                                                                                   Illinois.

                                                                                   August 28, 2020.

Hey man, how is it going? Hope you're doing great.

You remember I told you I would be graduating from Secondary School next week, right? Well, Secondary School was fun, it was a real learning phase and now I'm ready for the next stage of my life.

I'm writing to you, to appreciate you for your support all these years and how you have stood by me and contributed positively to my life most especially during my stint as the Library Prefect which I held for nine months. You were always helping me keep the library safe and organized, so much to the extent that my assistant library prefect got jealous and angry because you literally took her job from her, hehe.

Thank you for all the memories, even though I'm yet to forgive you for pranking me last month, but I hope our friendship will be forever.

                                                                                Lots of love,

                                                                                Christian Kumwha.
