In paragraph 7, what rebuttal does the author make to the claim in paragraph 6 that America is too culturally diverse to have a

national character?
Paragraph 6

Yet even in 1994, the overwhelming majority of those surveyed

by the National Opinion Research Center agreed with this statement:

“The U.S. is a unique country that stands for something special in the

world.” One of the things that it stands for is this vexing notion that a

great nation can consist entirely of refugees from other nations, that

people of different, even warring religions and cultures can live, if not

side-by-side, then on either side of the country’s Chester Avenues.

Faced with this diversity there is little point in trying to isolate

anything remotely resembling a national character, but there are two

strains of behavior that, however tenuously, abet the concept of unity.



CHOSE:

A. She suggests that the reality of national unity is more important than the impossibility of a national character.

B. She proposes the resourceful and courageous American psyche as an acceptable substitute for a national character.

C. She supports the idea that every generation of immigrants arrives with the same dreams and faces the same problems of assimilation.

D. She believes the nation will be preserved by a characteristically American combination of heroic perseverance and grudging fairness.

This question is about "A quilt of a country".

Answer:

C. She supports the idea that every generation of immigrants arrives with the same dreams and faces the same problems of assimilation.

Explanation:

In paragraph 7, the author shows that even if cultural diversity prevents the country from reaching a national character, it brings all immigrants together in the same story and still achieves American glomorization about overcoming difficulties.

This is because all immigrants, including those who lived in the country in remote times, came with the same dreams and goals and had the same difficulties to establish themselves and readapt to the new environment. This unites them all in a single concept, thus being able to create a national character.

Which statements are true of realistic fiction? Select three options.
iogann1982 [59]

Not having the choices here, I can help you to find the correct ones. Realistic fiction is a made up story, but it COULD happen. They resemble real life, and are written a realistic setting, such as actual cities that exist today. Themes, events, characters, and problems mirror real life. As you read through the answer choices, choose the ones that closely match this information.
