Thurgood Marshall was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Howard University, where he studied law. He served for

years as influential legal counsel to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), acting as a champion of civil rights for African Americans. He is famous for winning the 1954 case Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, in which it was ruled that racial segregation in schools was illegal. Marshall became the first African American to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. His remarkable achievements — as a lawyer, as a Supreme Court justice, and as a human being — were nothing short of extraordinary.
What does the author's use of the word champion in the phrase champion of civil rights suggest to the reader?

that the author holds a very high opinion of Thurgood Marshall
that the author does not have an opinion of Thurgood Marshall
that the author holds an unbiased opinion of Thurgood Marshall
that the author wishes to omit his opinion of Thurgood Marshall

The slippery slimy snake slithered into the room.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

To offer a description of the snake

Explanation:

The adjectives “slippery” and “slimy” are alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, so in this case we have “slippery” and “slimy”, with the repetition of the “s” consonant sound. Therefore the alliteration “slippery, slimy” is describing the snake.

After the final battle, rumor had it that a few renegades had slipped off into the forest to avoid capture. These sneaky rogues
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B). Then the rebels will overcome the empire’s troops and take the city.

Explanation:

The sentence that would be the best addition to conclude the paragraph is displayed in option B and i.e. 'Then the rebels will overcome the empire’s troops and take the city' as it appropriately corresponds to the last sentence of the given paragraph that is written in simple future. This is the most perfectly offers an end to the paragraph, both grammatically and comprehensively. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer as the other options are grammatically incorrect. Option A wrongly employs overcame with take that doesn't offer parallelism and at the same not corresponding to the sentence prior to it. Option C and D also carries the similar error of not continuing the time of the previous sentence.
