Interview: Why the US Should Decriminalize Drug Use
Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health declined drastically—one day he even passed out in the courtroom. Neal eventually pled guilty because he would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if he took his drug possession case to trial and lost. He told us that he cried the day he pled, because he knew he might not survive his sentence.[1

Answer:
A. Athletes who overcame incredible obstacles to excel in sports.
Explanation:
As seen in the given passages, both passages talk about the way both Jackie Robinson and Wilma Rudolph came to be sports greats. The passages contain details about how both of them overcame the many and hard obstacles to get to where they are now.
Passage 1 provides details of the great baseball legend Jackie Robinson and his way to becoming one of the greats in the game and also the very first black man to play in the Major Leagues in the 20th century. His journey was filled with <em>"malicious catcalls and racial slurs shouted from the stands and even anonymous death threats"</em>, even at times enduring <em>"rival players [who] threw pitches at Robinson’s head, spat on him when he slid into a base and attempted to injure him with the spikes on their shoes"</em>.
Passage 2 reveals the journey of Wilma Rudolph who had to overcome <em>"pneumonia, polio, and scarlet fever"</em> that left her unable to walk properly. But despite all odds, she came to be<em> "one of America’s first great track and field athletes"</em>.
Thus, <u>both passages provide information about these two athletes who overcame incredible obstacles to be what they are now, excelling in their own fields.</u>
