Answer:
Before accepting Rickey’s offer, Robinson confirms that Rickey respects him as a strong black man.
Explanation:
"I Never Had It Made" is an autobiographical account of Jackie Robinson about the struggles that he faced as a black man among white players especially in the sporting world of baseball. This autobiography presents an inspiring story of how he endured racism and became one of the most celebrated and greatest sportsmen, not only as a black man but also as a sportsman.
In the given excerpt, Robinson recalls how he had approached Rickey about his offer of playing in his Dodgers team. For Robinson, it seemed like the typical way whites deal with blacks and he was determined not to be a victim. But when Rickey assured him that he wanted him with <em>"guts enough not to fight back"</em>, he knew this white man was not like the others. <u>This response confirms that he (Rickey) respects him as a strong black man and is unlike the other white people.

Explanation:
This answer is not full, the options are missing. They are as following:
- A. She wants other people to see her.
- B. She feels genuine admiration for the man.
- C. She exaggerates her actions in order to prove a point.
- D. She is more intent on pleasing herself than she is on pleasing the man.
The answers are A, C and D.
<u>From the excerpt we can see the woman is exaggerating her movements and actions, which is most clearly seen in the last line "She spoke with great distinctness, moving her lips meticulously, as if in parlance with the deaf."</u>
<u>She is exaggerating her movement of the lips and accenting of the words in order to try to prove what she says and underline its importance, even to hide her real thoughts. </u>
<u>We also see she does this for her own enjoyment and exposure with the line "extended her hand at the length of her arm and held it so for all the world to see, until the Negro took it, shook it, and gave it back to her."</u>
<u>With this she is trying to draw attention to her pleasure, to the man taking her hand, to show how she is graceful and polite, and to better her social status. </u>
Its the last one because the question that they had asked is really in the story the second line at the top.
