Answer:
A. "Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say. "Wait.”
Explanation:
The above evidence in this passage best supports the stated claim.
From the excerpt, the author reveals that when people have not had a taste of the bad effect of segregation, they will say "wait" and keep hindering action. This is in line with Dr. King's statement which also reveals that people who have not tasted the hatefulness of segregation will not see the need to take action.
But those who experience and see how vicious mobs lynch their parents and go to the extent of drowning their siblings at whim; and they see the hate filled policemen as they curse, kick and eventually kill their black brothers and sisters; they will rise up to take action.
This is generally true because when people have not experienced certain things, they will not see the reason end to act. Injustice will stir the call for justice.
Answer:
B. It introduces a new central idea to focus on.
Explanation:
I say this but I didn't read the passage, so excuse me if I'm wrong. It doesn't seem to be A, sense it isn't contrasting a statement. It really could be C as well, but this seems to be something it would focus on. It could not be D because it is not a concluding sentence, it would leave the passage in an awkward state. This is why I say B.
Narrative distance refers to the difference between the character's point of views and the reader's point of view. All the characters in a story exist with some amount of distance between themselves. Close and distant narrative styles simply refer to the amount of distance between the readers and the characters. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The oppression and segregation imposed upon African Americans.
Explanation:
In his letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower dated May 13, 1958, Jack Roosevelt Robinson wrote of how it is hard for them to "<em>have self-respect and remain patient</em>". He admits that considering the "treatment" that his people, the African Americans in America have experienced and gone through, he believes it is hard for them to be patient and have "self-respect".
Jackie Robinson was a professional baseball player who played in the Major League Baseball (MLB). His letter to the then president shows his impatience against the former's interest regarding the cause of the Black community. Robinson would alter on become a huge propagator for the civil rights movement and be involved in the fight for the rights of the black people. By admitting that the president's advise to be patient and have self control can no longer be enough to calm the unrest that is evidently arising out of the oppression and racial segregation that his people had experienced and made to endure.
