central idea from one paragraph to the next?
&
Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
America is an improbable idea. Amongrel nation built of
ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a
notion, the notion that all men are created equal though
everyone knows that most men consider themselves
better than someone. "Of all the nations in the world,
the United States was built in nobody's image," the
historian Daniel Boorstin wrote. That's because it was
built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the
crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art
forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades Out
of many, one. That is the ideal.
The reality is often quite different, a great national
striving consisting frequently of failure. Many of the oft-
told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are
stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry Slavery and
sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism

Answer:

O The first paragraph discusses the idea that  Americans are united as one despite their  differences. The second paragraph discusses the  idea that acts of intolerance make it difficult to believe  that Americans are united as one.

Explanation:

Anna Quindlen's "A Quilt of a Country" is a commentary on the spirit of the American nation as a whole in dealing with enemies and uniting against a common enemy. The focus of this literary work is to emphasize how Americans unify against a foreign enemy while at times being discriminatory against an immigrant within themselves.

In the first paragraph, Quindlen presents a united American against a common enemy, fighting for a common aim despite their differences. But the second paragraph presents an idea of acts of intolerance that makes it hard to accept and understand how they can be united as one.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer:

B) The first paragraph discusses the idea that Americans are united as one despite their differences. The second paragraph discusses the idea that acts of intolerance make it difficult to believe that Americans are united as one.

Sick by Shel Silverstein



"I cannot go to school today,"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox

And there's one more—that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut—my eyes are blue—

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke—

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb.

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is—what?

What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is. . .Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
