Paragraph four of Anna Quindlen "Quilt of a country" is mainly constructed with questions, and repeats the words "What is the point" at the beginning of each question.

She is trying to prove her point, that despite all of the cultures and ethnicities and different backgrounds that constitute the American people, it is not enough to disintegrate the nation, while other countries were torn apart by these differences.

Why does the author of passage 2 describe a student council meeting in the first paragraph? ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope. This is the trap; the question specifically mentioned “examples” ad does this fourth sentence of the paragraph, but the “examples” need to refute this view, and the example in the fourth sentence is an example of the critical view the author disagreed with.

Explanation:

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.

Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.

Consider the following sentence: "That chick wears a lot of bling." In one hundred words or less, discuss whether this sentence
ozzi
This sentence gives an overall negative connotation because you're using a derivative means of describing the woman and he jewelry along with saying that the amount she is wearing is "a lot" more than what you would expect. It conjures up an image of a street adult woman with gold jewelry and thug-like clothing. It would not be an appropriate way to describe your grandmother given the age gap in both vocabulary and the overall negative connotation of the sentence.
