One of the most remarkable stories about an Olympic athlete’s comeback is the story of Betty Robinson. Robinson won a gold medal

for the hundred-meter race in 1928—just four months after she started her track career as a sixteen-year-old high school student. The 1928 Olympics was the first time women were allowed to compete, and Robinson became the first woman to win a gold medal. In 1931, she suffered severe head injuries, a broken arm, and a broken leg during a plane crash. A surgeon placed a pin and rod in her leg to stabilize it, and doctors thought she would never walk again. Robinson worked hard at rehabilitation, and she could not accept the fact that her track career was over. She competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. She won another gold medal for running the third leg of the women’s 4x100 relay. The writer wants to emphasize Robinson’s determination.
Which of the following statements would best conclude this paragraph by effectively summarizing its main idea?

Robinson’s story illustrates that very few people have the capability to rehabilitate themselves.

Robinson’s story illustrates that doctors can never predict who will prevail over debilitating injuries.

Robinson’s story illustrates that the chance to compete in the Olympics motivated her to walk and run again.

Robinson’s story illustrates that an ambitious mindset can overcome physical challenges.

By presenting the early start of Robinson's career in her track career, the author is trying to set the ground for s strong and determined will possessed by the athlete in the first sentences. The author accomplishes this by presenting the short time it took Robinson to win her first gold medal, only four months.

The next inspirational statement is presented when the author mentions that in the 1928 Olympics it was the first time women were allowed to compete, and Robinson became the first woman to win a gold medal, again she is giving sign of a tremendous willpower.

With this introduction it is easy to notice that in order to emphasize and close the idea the only correct option is the last one: Robinson’s story illustrates that an ambitious mindset can overcome physical challenges.

the first one mentions that very few people have the capability to rehabilitate themselves. We do not have any evidence that suggest that in the paragraph.

the same happens with the two other options, we have no evidence present that the doctors can never predict who will prevail over debilitating injuries, or that Robinson’s story illustrates that the chance to compete in the Olympics motivated her to walk and run again.

Review the two different interpretations of the confrontation between Cory and Troy in Act 1, Scene 3. They are available at the
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Troy and Cory's father-son relationship succumbs to its first major blow while working together on Rose's fence. The blow to their relationship is not yet a physical affront, but an irreconcilable difference. Cory has taken care of insuring his job at the A&P for after football season and gets good grades in school, but Troy does not acknowledge these responsible acts. Instead, Troy only sees the ways Cory does not live up to Troy's vision of how Cory should live his life. Troy's hypocrisy becomes evident to Cory over the course of his conversation with Troy as they build the fence.

The beginning of their talk displays a friendly competition aspect of their relationship. Troy and Cory argue about the purchasing of a television versus a new roof in good spirits. Troy is typically stubborn and takes the pragmatic view on the television issue, again emphasizing his inability to empathize with anyone else's lofty dreams but his own. However, in a moment of compassion, Troy relents and offers Cory a fair deal. In this moment, Troy is his most laudable. Cory's persistent, logical and persuasive argument for a television affects Troy. It is notable that Troy does not go head over heels and offer to buy Cory the television, but his proposal is fair and balanced. By offering to pay half if Cory can come up with half of the money, Troy emphasizes the kind of responsibility-instilling parenting he believes in that encourages Cory's work ethic, while supporting his son in realizing a dream. On the flip side, when their argument hits closer to home with the topic of sports, Troy transforms his fair and supportive outlook into an irrational, hurtful one.

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND 20 POINTS!!! EXPLAIN THROUGHLY someone in your class invites you to a party that you know won't hav
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

I feel like you should tell you aunt, so if something happens, you could have some adult to get help from. It kinda depends what kind of party it is. If its with  people older than you and if guys are gonna be there and its one of those drink and smoke and crazy parties, for your own self-respect, safety, and worth, its better not to go. (your not gonna miss anything anyways) Its better to just have a party between people you can trust and such. The parental supervision isnt needed for EVERY party. MOST parties dont have parents literally watching u like a hawk. But it just depends whos going to be there, what they are planning to do and if you think its going to be safe.

Explanation:

Ive made a mistake of going to a unsupervised party a while ago, and i regret it. Just make sure you stay distant from suspicious activity and just be paranoid and cautious of whats around u. OVERALL I THINK U SHOULD GO AND HAVE SOME FUNNNNN HAHA YOLO. (but stick with ur friends) :)

Answer:

Samus drank tea with a polite gnome in the forest.

Because polite is an adjective describing the noun "gnome", you don't need the comma between the adjective and noun.

Hope this helps!
