The sentence "My dog is so peculiar- sometimes he'll bark at absolutely nothing!" uses all of its words correctly. I can't tell which is the vocabulary word, since it's not italicized, but this is the only fully correct sentence. If the vocabulary word is peculiar, the reason it works in this sentence is because it means "weird" or "odd", which would both also work in this sentence.
Answer and Explanation:
Anna Quindlen uses a simile in her article "A Quilt of a Country", comparing the United States to a quilt "built of bits and pieces..." This comparison means that the United States, just like the quilt, is formed by parts that do not originally match, that are dissimilar. However, once put together, those parts end up forming a beautiful mosaic of people. While the quilt has a thread to unite its parts, the United States has its ideals and dreams to unite the different people who form its population. Therefore, no matter what origin and cultural background people may have, they are still parts of an important and beautiful whole.

Nowadays, the word <em>swag </em>is sort of synonymous with the word <em>cool</em>. People didn't really start using it in that way until around 2003, and when it became a definitive Thing in 2010.
Prior to this, however, the word <em>swag</em> was just used as a way to describe how someone walks. No, literally; the earliest recordings of the word came from William Shakespeare in <em>a Midsummer Night's Dream</em>. The official definition around the late sixteenth century was "to strut in a defiant or insolent manner," or sometimes as ways to describe how inept that a person was.
Strangely, its meaning got somehow lost a little while back, with a lot of people wondering where exactly this word came from since, surely, the creator of it wasn't Jay-Z or Will.i.am, right?
Dig more into it if you actually want to know. Simply, it was just how a person presented themselves; not that different to how it's used now.
