Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. Prior to his

well-known career in baseball, Jackie served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie began playing Major League Baseball. During Jackie's time, the leagues were still segregated, and Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. In addition to breaking the color barrier in the world of athletics, Jackie went on to fight for civil rights in all aspects of life. He did not believe that enough was being done to advance the cause for civil rights, and he spent the remainder of his years after his baseball career testifying against discrimination, sending letters to every American president who held office between 1956 and 1972 to express this discontent. In his lifetime, Jackie was not only a voice for African-American athletes, he was a voice for the nation.Based on the passage, into which yearbook category does Jackie Robinson best fit?Most Likely to Pursue a College DegreeMost Likely to Become a Public SpeakerMost Likely to Become a Social ActivistMost Likely to Hold a High Public Office

A bald eagle and a golden eagle are occasionally seen in secluded places. (Identify the adjectives
kherson [118]
Adult golden and bald eagles have distinguishing characteristics in their coloring making it easy to identify the species. Both are large birds with dark brown bodies. The adult bald eagle has a noticeable white head and tail while the golden eagle has a brown head with “golden” feathers on the back of their necks. The adult bald eagle has a large, yellow beak, while the golden has a slightly smaller black beak. Golden eagles are referred to as booted eagles, since they are feathered all the way down their legs to the tops of their feet, while the bald eagle’s feathers stop a few inches from the tops of their feet.
