Answer:
C. Jackie's journey to the Olympics began early in her life.
Explanation:
In the given passage, the narrator provides details or narration on the life of Jackie Joyner-Kersee. The transition from each paragraph provides the chronological details of the athlete's life.
Paragraph 2 is about the child Jackie and the start of her dream to compete in the Olympics. So, the best start to the paragraph will be to state how her journey began. The statement <em>"Jackie's journey to the Olympics began early in her life" </em>is the best start for the second paragraph.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
The statement that best supports the author;s claim is: "Parents are supportive of public schools adopting school uniforms for several reasons; the most common being affordability." (last option)
In the passage the author claims that "(...) uniforms allow students and their parents to save money (...)". The author explains that parents spend money on uniforms at the beginning of the year, but such investment would be much greater if students had to wear their own clothes to school.
In the sentence "The tired traveler carefully brushed the dust off his pants and continued his journey down the country road" the prepositional phrase would be "<span>carefully brushed the tired traveler" since it is a modifier. </span>
