The right answer is "indignant "

The text makes it very clear that the author is disappointed with some action taken by Stephen Mackaye who was someone to whom he had great consideration that turned into indignation.

The passage in the text that makes this indignation more evident is : "<em> I always sized Steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. I shall never trust my judgment in men again. Why, I nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the Stewart; and he saved my life on the Little Salmon. And now, after the years we were together, all I can say of Stephen Mackaye is that he is the meanest man I ever knew. </em>"

Answer:

John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadows his quality of being a civil rights activist.

Explanation:

"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" is a book written by Jabari Asim, portraying the life of young John Lewis.

Formal letter to the press on the ban on sexual explicit scenes in the television​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

G - 6/11,

Los Angeles,

California,

22nd March 2021,

The Editor,

NBC News,

New York,

Subject: Regarding the ban of explicit sexual scenes on television.

Sir,

Through your esteemed news channel, I would like to show concern towards the increased explicitness of television programs in showing sexual scenes. Television is such a means of communication that is watched by every stratum of people, be it kids, students, adults, or even elders. Such an open showcase of intimate scenes not only influences the kids and adolescents but also distracts the adults to go on the wrong path, spoils relationships, affects the sentiments of the elders, and spoils the society as a whole.

Recent reports have shown that these explicit sexual contents leave a desensitized and causal impact on the entire population. Thus, such scenes are required to be banned to show explicitly on national television to prevent such insensitiveness and allowing kids to know things at right time. I request you to kindly throw light upon this issue so that concerned authorities could take necessary actions in this regard.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Georgia.
