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 nobody s image, the historian Daniel Boorstin wrote. That s 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,

B). 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.

Explanation:

Context plays a vital role in assisting the readers to understand the author's intended idea more clearly and comprehensively. It equips the readers with the necessary historical, political, social, or cultural information regarding the time when the text was written that the readers require to make meaning of the text.

As per the question, the second statement most appropriately elaborates that 'knowing that Quindlen is the descendant of immigrants assists the readers to understand that the author backs the idea of some culture being naturally better than others.' It aids the readers to not only understand the author's perspective and meaning of the excerpt comprehensively but also in analyzing the text. Thus, option B is the correct 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.

Explanation:

At the beginning of this text Quindlen criticizes the false union that America shows before the great diversity that the nation possesses. Throughout the text Quindlen expresses how this diversity presents itself as unmixed pieces that do not unite. however, the end of the text reinforces the idea that just like a patchwork, America should be united, it should be a single organism composed of several different parts that unite in something bigger and better.

The part of the text that shows this more explicitly is: "That's 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."
