B) a copy of the image of Clemente’s son

Answer 2

"Clemente´s impact wanes in Puerto Rico 40 years after his death" is a newspaper article that was published in the Sports section of USA Today, on December 27th, 2012 and it was written by journalist Jorge L. Ortiz. This article is a remembrance article that talks about what the writer experienced several years previously, when he was still an 11-year-old, when, at a New Year´s Eve party, he learned about the accident and disappearance of sports star and one of Puerto Rico´s biggest celebrities, Roberto Clemente. It was then found that the plane that he had boarded with supplies to take to Nicaragua as a relief effort, crashed into the ocean and that Clemente had passed away. Ortiz also makes emphasis on the huge impact that the death of this man had on the island, how it affected many because people were so proud of their star, and to make people feel the loss as tangibly as he and his fellow Puerto Ricans did, he likens it to how Americans felt when they saw JFK Jr. saluting his father´s coffin. With this, Ortiz welcomes his American readership to experience the pain of that loss by remembering their own feelings at the loss of such a beloved and iconic American and at seeing his son having to say goodbye. In order to enhance these feelings, then, it would be appropriate to use as a source B: a copy of the image of Clemente´s son, kissing the poster of his father, because it further links the two children and thus links the emotions felt on both sides.
