Explanation:

A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and any complements that follow it. A preposition is a word used to establish a relationship between other words in sentence. It can, for instance, indicate time, place, or direction. Take a look at the example below:

- I will meet you at noon.

In the sentence above, the prepositional phrase is "at noon". The preposition "at" functions as a preposition of time here, since it is followed by the noun "noon", which indicates when the action will take place.

How does alice walker utilize literacy devices to create her theme in the story “Everyday usage”

By the end of the century, school desegregation in America was complete, with high schools across the country enjoying interraci
Veronika [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

American schools before and during the racism were segregated into whites and colored schools where the colored kids were not allowed to be in a white school and vice versa. Although the nation claimed to be an independent country, the issue of racism and prejudice was still very much prevalent and common among the majority of the people.

The segregation of schools began to be adopted with the passing of the Jim Crows laws which gave the white people the right to do anything regarding slaves and blacks in general. The end of the 21st century did not bring about the complete desegregation of the schools. rather, this segregated school still continues for a long time, although some states had started abolishing this practice and made their schools available for all. Though there are no increase in the segregation practice of schools, there is still no full desegregation.
