Explanation:

Question 5

In "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", Tom is known for his cleverness, especially in scenes like tricking others into painting the fence (showing his clever way to avoid work and get others to do it). While he has other traits, cleverness is a defining characteristic shown prominently in many passages.

• United: After 9/11, Americans across different backgrounds (race, class, political views) came together in solidarity. People volunteered, donated, and supported each other, showing a shared sense of patriotism and empathy for the victims.
• Divided: There was increased suspicion and discrimination against Muslim Americans, as some associated all Muslims with the terrorists. Also, debates over national security measures (like the Patriot Act) divided people on civil liberties vs. security.

Answer:

d. cleverness
