Read the quote and answer the question. "And there is a grudging fairness 1 point among the citizens of the United States that eventually leads most to admit
that ... the new immigrants are not so different from our own parents or
grandparents. Leonel Castillo ... once told the writer Studs Terkel proudly,
'The old neighborhood M-Pa stores are still around ... Ma and Pa are now
Korean, Vietnamese, Iraqi, Jordanian, Latin American. They live in the store.
They work seven days a week. Their kids are doing well in school. They're
making it." How does Quindlen "patch" together, or link, the citizens and
the new immigrant populations of America in the quotation? *
by claiming that new immigrants should be treated fairly because fairness is an
American value
by claiming that immigrants of today do not work as hard or do as well as immigrants
in the past
by claiming that both groups believe that new immigrants should work harder than
other citizens
by claiming that most Americans can see how the new immigrants are very similar to
their own immigrant ancestors
