Answer:
One morning, three friends went for a drive. They came across a forest and decided to go inside it. They got out of their car and began walking. Unfortunately, they got lost without a clue of how to get back, and to top it off it began raining. They saw in the distance a hut, so they hurried on over to it.
After knocking on the door, an old man answered. They explained their situation to him. He was kind enough to let them wait inside until the rain stopped and then he escorted them out of the forest, back to their car. They called their other friends and told them about how they got lost, met an old man, and were driving back. They then safely went back to their homes.
Answer:
c. Even distasteful expressions of opinions are protected.
Explanation:
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution presents the citizens with the right to practice any religion they choose and have free speech and expression. In other words, it prevents the government from making any law that orders an individual to follow a certain religion or be stopped from freely expressing their thoughts.
And with this First Amendment, the freedom of expression covers the protection of even distasteful expressions. This is because freedom of expression allows a person to freely express whatever thoughts he believes in, regardless of the issue or causes.
Thus, the correct answer is option c.
In "A Worn Path", Old Phoenix Jackson was able to hit the dog her cane before falling into a ditch. She waits until a young white hunter shows up and helps her out of the ditch. He is demeaning at first about her age, then shows prejudice because he says “I know you old colored people…wouldn’t miss going to town to see Santa Claus!”
She sees a nickel has fallen out of the hunter's pocket, and before taking it, she distracts him by saying that his big black dog isn't afraid of anything. Not only does he chase it off to prove her wrong, but also points a gun at her at an attempt to assert power.
