Although the urban expression is similar in the two

countries, it is not identical, and the truly “North

American” city is more a myth than a reality.

不明白, "与其说是现实,倒不如说是传说? "迷茫中

重剑无锋

恩，同意！BTW,好句子！

What does the author mean by

   referring to the truly North American

   city as more a myth than a reality?

    1Commonly studied histories of

       cities in North America distort

       reality.  

2   Cities in Canada and the

       United States exhibit cultural

       similarities.  

    3There is no city that can be

       considered representative

       of all North American cities.  

   4 Eastern and western cities

       display greater differences

       than the differences between

       Canadian and United States

       cities.                                                    既然这样, 我总觉得答案3 有点牵强!?

重剑无锋

应该选3。原文的意思是“尽管两个国家的城市看起来很相似，但是并不是完全相同的，所以真正的北美城市不过是个传说罢了”

选项3的意思是说“没有任何一个城市能够作为北美城市的代表”和原文相符。
