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

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.

draw a angle for example the 90° angle the vertex is the middle so put a letter there and other letters at the x and y axes of the angle when ever u wright the letters together for example < abc (the lest than sign is how u wright it) b will always be in the middle no matter what b is the vertex also

hope that !
