Answer:
The author's purpose was to bring to light the prejudices and racism that plagued American aviation from its early days and how blacks and women never gave up hope.
Explanation:
The author began by talking about how racism and sexism were rife in American aviation. Blacks and women were considered inferior and lacking the necessary ability to fly. It was thought that the white man was superior to all others and had the necessary capacity to fly an airplane just because of their skin color and not because of any other special training.
"Flying, it was said, required a level of skill and courage that women and blacks
lacked. Yet despite these prevailing prejudices, the dream
and the desire to fly stayed alive among women and African-
Americans."
This text evidence summarises the author's thoughts aneand purpose.
I can't help you with your exact thesis, as I do not know your preferences for it, but your thesis would be what the main point of the paragraph or what it is about. Make sure both your first sentence is stating your thesis and the first sentence of your last paragraph is restating your thesis (if it is only 1 paragraph, restate your thesis at the end).
False
When people succeed they don’t only do it to themselves. You look at someone like LeBron James who grew from poverty and you would think that when he was young that he thought he would never become a pro basketball player. But if you look at him now he has succeeded not only for himself for his family as well. He showed everyone that you goals are achievable. Many other people also do it to inspire other people. I hope I have a good example of why I said false
The correct option is option D ("Read the results section before you read the discussion section").
Taking a look at the results before you read the discussion section will allow you to form your own interpretation after analysing the content of the article <u>without being biased by what the author's conclusion was in light of the results</u>.
Here's my interpretatin of why the other options are wrong:
A) You should always start with the introduction and never with the abstract. <u>If you first read the abstract, you run the risk of becoming biased towards the author's perspective from the get go</u>.
B) & C) The discussion and conclusion sections should always be the last thing you read. <u>You need to understand the whole article by yourself and generate your own interpretation to be able to contrast it with the author's conclusion and other points of view expressed in the discussion</u>.
Hope this helps!
