He was excluded from the table due to the color of his skin.

I believe he may want to eat at the table because back then in the segregated times African Americans were not allowed to eat with the other guests they had to eat in the kitchen. So basically he was saying he was an American as well and his color made no difference to whether or not he could eat with the rest of the guests.

Hope that made some sort of sense and helped!

Which one of the following is correct (MLA)?
Marina CMI [18]

The writer continues, “The second question, however, was a bit more esoteric: ‘Are American women usurping males in the world, and are they too dominant?’” (Peril 281).

This is the correct MLA format for this direct quotation. The parenthetical citation must include the author's last name and the location of the direct quote. Since this quotation does not have any signal words or phrases before the quotation that identify the author, the author's last name must be included in parentheses after the quote. Also, since the source is a paginated text, the page number from which the direct quote was taken must also be noted. The parenthetical citation needs to be before the end punctuation of the sentence to show that it connects to the direct quotation. The quotation marks must be around the text that is directly taken from the source, which includes the information about the question being esoteric.

A statement of a viewpoint supporting one side of an argument is called a ________?
Dima020 [189]

The correct answer is claim.


A claim is any statement or point of view a person might take on a particular argument. If you agree with one side of an argument, it means that you have a claim when it comes to that side. For example, if you are pro abortion, your claim is that abortion should be legal.
