Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right.
What is the denotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt?
lines that are drawn when placing blame
areas of defense in times of war
long cracks in the surface of the earth
breaks in modern American society
Answers
Answer: long cracks in the surface of the earth
Explanation:
The denotative meaning of a word refers to what it literally means. It will therefore always be the same regardless of the context that it is given in.
Fault lines are long cracks in the surface of the earth that are created by forces of tension acting on tectonic plates to move away from each other. As they do so, cracks form in the earth's crust that can stretch for miles on end across the surface of the earth.

Answers
Answer:
A). Grieving, the speaker first conveys his despair and anger but then reconfirms his religious belief.
Explanation:
Alfred Tennyson in his poem 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' reflects the crunch of 'faith rocked society' through mourning. The speaker of his poem displays sorrow and gloom first after the death of Hallam, his friend, and anguish as he feels low after losing his friend. However, this is followed by a restatement of his religious faith by stating his hope that despite his friend lost his physical body but he still has the opportunity to reunite with his soul. He wants that whenever he reassociates with him, Hallam can recall all the memories they shared together on Earth and stay together till eternity. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
A. Grieving, the speaker first conveys his despair and anger but then reconfirms his religious belief.
