together
The passage centres on national integration — diverse people uniting as one nation. The blank pairs with "peacefully" to describe their mode of coexistence, which must signify unity.
"Separately" contradicts integration; "jointly" implies a shared task, not shared living; "happily" describes feeling, not togetherness. Together directly expresses the unified coexistence the passage describes.
