Answer:

The statement that paraphrases this excerpt best is "This man, who was smart in school, has grown up to be unintelligent."

Explanation:

The objective of paraphrasing a sentence is to make it easier to read and keep the same message with different words and different structure, some elements can be changed or omitted as long as they do not affect the general message. Some words have similar meanings, but in the paraphrased sentence are clearer, for example, blunt fellow = unintelligent, quick mettle = smart.

How does Maniac keep John McNab from fighting with Mars Bar?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

When a fight nearly broke out between John McNab and Mars Bar, Maniac stepped in and simply led Mars Bar away from the McNab home.

Explanation:

Maniac was instrumental in bringing Mars Bar to the McNab's home for the birthday party. But Mars Bar was uncomfortable being in a white home and the McNab family were uncomfortable having a black in their home. When the McNab boys played the game "blacks and whites", it made Mars Bar very uncomfortable.

Maniac's purpose of inviting Mars Bar to the birthday party was to teach Mars Bar about the white people and to teach the white about the blacks. But it wasn't actualized.

"Maniac Magee" is a story by American author Jerry Spinelli. The story's themes center on racism and inequality. It tells the story of an orphan boy who was looking for an abode and a home in the fictional town of Two Mills. Two Mills is a town which was torn between the East and West, blacks and whites.
