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 prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object. (on the table, beside the stairs)

(e.g. PUTTING ON HER BOOTS, she trudged into the snow.)

d. Nothing comes easily.

Explanation:

Aphorisms are sayings or expressions that relay the simple truth of life. It contains a general truth of what the reality is. And in Paine's aphorism <em>"Wisdom is not the purchase of a day"</em>, he means that <u>nothing comes easy for a successful effort</u>. This line is used in his appeal to the colonists to generate greater force to fight against the enemy, and that it must be done if the colonies are to succeed in their war against the British. <u>Like wisdom which is attained after numerous attempts and sacrifice, the colonies must also be ready to sacrifice their all if they are to gain their freedom from the British rule.</u>
