Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.
Answer:
A) Questions usually start with a helping verb or adverb.
Explanation:
The sentence structure in statements and questions is different. In the case of statements, the main elements (subject, verb and direct object) must be organized in the following way:
- Subject + Verb + Direct Object: John drives a motorcycle.
Statements can also include indirect objects, adverbs, modal and auxiliary verbs, among other elements.
On the other hand, questions are organized in two ways, depending on the type of question:
Verb + Subject + Complement:
Is she your sister?
Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:
Will you go to the party? Do you like it? Can you answer the phone?
WH word + Verb + Subject:
What is this? Where are you?
WH word + Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:
Where will she go? What are you doing? What did you do last night?
