The correct answer is C) because they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view.

In the majority opinion, Fortas suggested that the reason the school authorities suspended the students was that they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view.

We are referring to the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District that was decided on February 24, 1969.

In 1965, five students decided to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War and they were suspended by the school for doing that. In the majority opinion, Judge Abe Fortas suggested that the reason the school authorities suspended the students was that they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view. At the end of the case, the Court decided that the use of armbands as a protest was not a motive to cause any disruption and that the protest was protected by freedom of speech.

The other options of the question were A) because they thought that Constitutional rights did not apply to school settings. B) because they preferred that students wrote essays on Vietnam instead. D) because they feared that students wanted to take over the school.

Help plz thank you heart

Answer:

The phrase that should be included to improve the clarity of the sentence is:

A. meaning they touch the snow only in the middle of the board.

Explanation:

Someone who does not snowboard will probably find the original sentence to be a little difficult to understand. We do not know what a camber is. Thus, for the author of the sentence to improve its clarity, that is, to make the sentence understandable to anyone who reads it, he must explain what a camber is.

Among the options, the only one that does that is the first one. The other options only explain that a camber is a technology used in snowboarding, but we still do not know what it is or what it does. However, the first choice lets us know that an inverted camber means the board only touches the snow in its middle. Therefore, it improves clarity.
