america is an improbable idea. a mongrel 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 nobodys image, \ the historian daniel boorstin wrote. thats 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. in better understanding this excerpt? quindlen uses the context of american diversity to help readers rethink the concept of american identity and understand that she supports the idea of unity among americans of all cultures. understanding that quindlen is the descendant of immigrants helps the reader realize that she supports the idea that some cultures are naturally better than others. quindlen uses the context of living in the united states during the 9/11 attacks to help the reader realize that she feels that unity among all americans is impossible to achieve. understanding that quindlen is an immigrant from another country helps readers realize that she understands societies like the united states more than most people.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

El primer enfoque es el más adecuado. El texto habla de una nación diversa (partes dispares) unida por la idea de la igualdad (unidad). Esto coincide con la idea de que Quindlen usa la diversidad americana para hacer que los lectores repiensen la identidad americana y la unidad entre todos los estadounidenses. El segundo enfoque es incorrecto porque el texto no apoya la idea de que algunas culturas son mejores que otras. El tercer enfoque es incorrecto porque el texto no menciona los ataques del 11 de septiembre. El cuarto enfoque es incorrecto porque el hecho de que Quindlen sea inmigrante no se menciona en el texto y no es necesario para entender el mensaje de unidad.

Answer:

Quindlen uses the context of American diversity to help readers rethink the concept of American identity and understand that she supports the idea of unity among Americans of all cultures.
