Hello. I know you've already provided the answer. I'd like to confirm it and offer further explanation.

Answer:

The statement that best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph is:

2. America is a united country despite its cultural differences.

Explanation:

The paragraph we are analyzing here is an excerpt from the article "A Quilt of a Country", by author Anna Quindlen. Quindlen discusses how America is interestingly contradictory.

Just like a quilt, America is a result of dissimilar parts all patched together. All kinds of people, having to live in such close proximity, end up addressing one another with prejudice and even hatred. However, in spite of these differences and unlike other countries, America remains united. In the excerpt, the author mentions different groups and how they are frequently "on the verge of fisticuffs". Still, they are "impossibly interwoven". Therefore, the cultural differences may make things a bit more difficult, but they do not break this nation apart.

AleksAgata [21]

That's right, the correct answer is C.

The Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver (SMCR) model identifies individual components of a communication act, which in turn are affected by diverse factors that combined can result in a more or less efficient communication. The four components are sender, message, channel and receiver.

People from different cultures may understand the same message differently. Things can be accepted in one culture and considered very offensive in another. Therefore is important that communication is performed between a sender and a receiver who have the same cultural background or who have an understading on how to deal with the cultural background of the  other interlocutor, in case it is not the own one.

Which parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and
Maurinko [17]
In my opinion, these parts show that the central character (Christian) is devoutly religious and God-fearing: <span>Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry. Christian has experienced first-hand that life is cruel and difficult. It would be far too easy to give up on life and embrace death, but he also knows that there is one thing worse than death, and that is hell. If he were to give up, he would end up in hell. So, he is willing to go down the path of salvation, with the help of Evangelist. This part also shows it: </span><span>Whither must I fly? It means that he is humble enough to obediently follow the path that Evangelist shows him. "The Pilgrim's Progress" shows us a central character who is weak and pliable just like most of people. He often errs and goes astray, and it's his humility and commitment that give him enough courage to follow Evangelist's guidance.</span>
