Black people supported me with total loyalty. They supported me morally: they came to sit in a hostile audience in unprecedented numbers to make the turnstiles hum as they never had before at ballparks all over the nation. Money is America's God, and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power, so these fans were important to the success of Mr. Rickey's "Noble Experiment."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He realizes that he was only able to keep playing because he made money for the team owners.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson’s autobiography "I Never Had It Made" details how Robinson became the first-ever black man, a descendent of a slave, to play in the Major Leagues. But despite his huge success, the journey wasn't full of roses but rather more of thorns.

In the given excerpt from the book, he mentioned how he got moral support from his own people while receiving racist and death threats from Whites. And despite Coach Rickey's insistence of his support in any circumstance, Robinson also knew that he is a businessman first. And this need to profit, to succeed in his "Noble Experiment" requires the successful integration of Robinson in the game or else he'll also be labeled a failure.

So, when Robinson stated that "Money is America's God, and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power, so these fans were important to the success of [the experiment]", he realizes that his influence in bringing Black people to watch the game, thereby increasing the attendees and also influencing the profit of the game. This made him realize that he was able to play because of his influence, his ability to get more people to attend the game, and bring in more profit for the team owners.

Answer:

B. The tender young leaves and early buds can also be boiled and eaten as a vegetable.

Explanation:

After the blank that needs to be filled in, the paragraph says, "The bright yellow flowers are delicious when dipped in batter and fried." This sentence needs a transition because it switched to explaining about food. Using the process of elimination you can see that A and D do not make sense. The paragraph is informing you why dandelions are great sources of food. A and D are basically disagreeing, so they are not the correct answers. The answers B and C are left. C states a fact about day lily shoots, which is going off topic. B is left and it makes sense, so B is the answer.

Answers

Answer: In this poem, the speaker describes book burning, a common method of censorship in which people set fire to books they object to on political, cultural, or religious grounds. They do it because they don´t believe or want to believe in those things.

Part A: Based on the context clues in this passage, what is the best meaning of the figure of speech “the strands of my mixed heritage”

Passage: I don’t know if the Legionnaires still march back into the woods each year. I like to believe they do. For that kind of experience has helped me keep balance when the strands of my mixed heritage seem to pull one against another. However unconscious, it was a moment of crossover, a moment when the borders of culture were nullified by the greater instincts of humanity to remember and to give honor. Perhaps the Memorial Days of those early years have become one of the watermarks of my life because they brought to ceremonial focus the many tellings of the past that filled up the hours and days of my childhood. As children, we were never so much taught as storied. All work and play had memories attached.

A. an extended metaphor, related to hair, for the idea that the parts of her racial and ethnic backgrounds are not completely blended

B. a simile to show that parts of her are in constant struggle with one another

C. a euphemism for “mixed race” to demonstrate a feeling of struggle within herself

D. another way of saying that her identity is smooth and untangled, like straight hair

Part B: Which quote BEST supports the meaning of the figure of speech from Part A?

Answer choices for the above question

A. “seem to pull one against another”

B. “that kind of experience has helped me keep balance”

C. “it was a moment of crossover”

D. “the borders of culture were nullified by the greater instincts of humanity to remember and to give honor”

Answers

Answer:

C. a euphemism for “mixed race” to demonstrate a feeling of struggle within herself

D. “the borders of culture were nullified by the greater instincts of humanity to remember and to give honor”

Explanation:

A euphemism is a word or expression used instead of another word or expression that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.

Race has always been a sensitive topic, so the narrator uses the figure of speech the strands of my mixed heritage instead of saying that she is multiracial (mixed race). This is how she tells us about the feeling of struggle within herself.

The quote that best supports this meaning is: ... the borders of culture were nullified by the greater instincts of humanity to remember and to give honor. This is the only quote making it clear that she is talking about culture and race.

When mom and I were making a 2 hour drive home from my sister's house we got stuck in a huge storm. The wind started picking up and blew harder causing absolute white out conditions. Numerous vehicles were stuck in snow drifts and we saw more than one accident.  

Explanation:

The correct form of sentences are rewritten below and kindly understand the importance of spelling, capitalization, word choice, and punctuality from the given information.

Why is punctuality, spellings, and capitalization important?

"My mother and I got stranded in a severe storm while driving the two hours from my sister's house to our house. Absolute whiteout conditions resulted from the wind's ramping up and becoming more ferocious. We witnessed several accidents and many vehicles stranded in snowdrifts."

Capitalization, like punctuation, aids in informational communication. Every sentence's first word is capitalized to indicate the start of a new sentence.

Proper nouns, which are names of specific people, places, or things, are capitalized to denote their rarity.

Using poor grammar can make sentences meaningless and the information unclear, which might cause a communication partner to misinterpret what is being said.

The communication process can be made more fun by using proper grammar, which makes reading and listening to you easier for others to grasp.

Readers will have more faith in the person (or business) you are interacting with if you utilize good spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Chad's Cards has Damage on the x-axis and Defense on the y-axis. Points (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), and (4, 8) are plotted.
Chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a Catcher card.
Chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because the ratio would be different for these points.

Read the sentence that appears in an argumentative essay about American public education. If education is so important to American society, then why is funding for American public schools so pathetic? Which revision exhibits the best word choice for the underlined portion of the sentence?

A. why is the funding for American public schools so inadequate?

B. why is the funding for American public schools so ridiculous?

C. why is the money given to public schools so pathetic?

D. why is pathetic funding given to American public schools?

Answer:

The best revision for the underline portion of the sentence is:

A. why is the funding for American public schools so inadequate?

Explanation:

The instructions let us know that this sentence is a part of an argumentative essay, which is a type of academic work. This means the author should avoid using language that is too informal as well as too abrasive. The adjectives "pathetic" and "ridiculous" sound harsh, a bit too direct, as if the author is angry. "Inadequate" expresses the same idea as the other two, only it sounds much less aggressive and a bit more formal. That is why letter A is the best option.
