I think it number 3 not sure
Which story is it? That needs to be known if not it's unfindable
Answer:
Jem had to go back for his pants because the lie Dill told to Atticus didn't involve his pants being destroyed, only lost. He said he had lost them in "strip poker." Jem couldn't argue with that lie and come up with a better one where the pants were actually destroyed or else he would risk exposing the lie, so he had to go along with it.
If he hadn't come up with the pants relatively soon, Atticus would have punished him for losing them permanently, a punishment Jem seemed eager to avoid when he said he had not been "whipped" for a long time and he didn't want it to happen again. He clearly has a healthy respect for Atticus and is also afraid of the whip, as he should be. Atticus would have either punished him for losing the pants (something it would cost money to replace) or have punished him for lying, had he found out how the pants were really lost.
So, Jem really had no choice but to go back for his pants, as scary as that prospect was.
Explanation:
The correct option is the last one - <span>it was based on the belief that segregation was permissible as long as the facilities were equal.
According to this excerpt, segregation is okay only if everything is equal for white and black citizens. So they can be separated in trains and other vehicles as long as these vehicles are of equal quality. Obviously, that opinion is problematic which is why segregation was banned many years ago.
