According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Jackie Robinson's Experience in Florida."

In this text, we learn about the many instances of segregation and discrimination that Jackie Robinson had to tolerate throughout his career. In particular, we learn about Robinson's experiences in Florida. Although Robinson faced discrimination in many places, the author tells us that Daytona Beach was "an island of enlightenment in a sea of bigotry." This means that Daytona Beach was particularly accepting, even though the rest of the state was not.

I agree with this statement based on the text. The author provides some evidence to support this claim. We learn that Mary McLeod Bethune founded a school for African American girls in 1904, which later became Bethune-Cookman College. We also learn that this school influenced Black people in the town to fight for their rights. Moreover, city officials never threatened to cancel a Royals game, nor did they try to keep Robinson from playing.

Which statement about quotation marks is true?
Mashcka [7]
Hello! I found the choices for this one from another source. They are:
<span>A. II only
B. I and II
C.II and III
D. I and III
</span>
Out of the three given statements about quotation marks, only the first and third statements are true.

You use quotation marks to identify short quotations. Quotations that are longer than three/four lines have their own indented formatting and doesn't require the marks to separate them anymore.

Also, commas that introduce quotations are never inside quotation marks, since they are not part of the original quoted text anyway.

ANSWER: D. I and III

Why do you think there is a disproportionate number of women in sports?
Fiesta28 [93]
Gender stereotypes. The typical "female" is often portrayed as shopping addicted, always on her phone, and someone who hates physical exercise of any kind. Sometimes it may be hard to step out of the stereotypes and be oneself due to the fear that someone may criticize them for playing sports, which sadly many people think is a "guy thing".

Peer pressure from other females can contribute to this as well. If a girl even expresses her interest for a particular sport, others may call it "lame" or "for the guys".

It's kind of sad in a way, thinking we have come such a long way yet women are unable to pursue their dreams without persecution or hate.
