Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A. It illustrates how many people from underserved communities go down a negative path and it makes Davis’s ascent all the more remarkable by comparison.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. It illustrates how many people from underserved communities go down a negative path and it makes Davis’s ascent all the more remarkable by comparison.

B. It demonstrates the impact the death of a childhood friend had on Davis, who would go on to become an emergency room physician.

C. It shows that a life of crime will inevitably result in an untimely death or permanent incarceration.

D. It advances the notion that Newark, New Jersey is an underserved city.

In this text, we learn about the journey of Sampson Davis. Davis was born in Newark, NJ, and when he was young, he was involved in an armed robbery with a boy named Don Moses. However, when Davis grew up, he became a physician, while Don Moses continued to be a robber. Don Moses eventually died at the hospital where Davis worked.

The anecdote, as well as the quote, highlights the fact that both Davis and Don Moses started in the same place, but their lives turned out to be very different. This highlights the difficulties that people in these communities have to lead positive lives, as well as the strength of character Davis displayed by choosing to improve his life.
