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.

Elenna [48]

The best summary of the excerpt, "The tea set has always been an important part of British life" is MacGregor incorporates a quotation from an antiquarian to support his claim that the set is a representation of British history. He acknowledges that the antique tea set once belonged to the Royal Navy and quotes an antiquarian to support his claim.

The history of the merged countries, including its historically Christian religious life, its interactions with European cultures, the customs of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as the effects of the British Empire, all have an impact on British culture.

Rob Roy MacGregor, who lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is the most well-known member of the clan. In the early 17th century, the Clan is also reputed to have been among the first families in Scotland to start playing the bagpipes.
