Answer:
B) He uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence.
Explanation:
In a 7 to 2 ruling, the Court concluded that African Americans were not and could not become U.S. citizens. As a result, Scott's suit in federal court would be ineffective. Many people think that the ruling, which led to a debate that brought the country closer to civil war, was one of the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
Who is he and what did he do
B) escape from their enemies by jumping away
Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.
