This question is missing the quotation. I've found it online. It is as follows:

"Right from the beginning, I always strived to capture everything I saw as completely as possible" (Rockwell).

Answer:

The indirect quotation that correctly sequences the verbs is:

4. Rockwell said that he had strived to completely capture everything.

Explanation:

In this question, we were asked to work with indirect speech. <u>Indirect speech means we are reporting what was said by someone. The general rule is that, when we report, we should use the past tense of the original tense used by the speaker. That is, if the speaker used verbs in the Simple Present, we should report them in the Simple Past etc.</u> There are exceptions to this general rule, of course. In some specific cases, we will not change the verb tense. But,<u> since the quotation we are working with is indeed about something that has already taken place, we must make the changes. When the speaker uses the Simple Past, we should report with the Past Perfect. Therefore:</u>

"Right from the beginning, I always strived to capture everything I saw as completely as possible" (Rockwell).

Rockwell said that he had strived to completely capture everything.

T. J. fools Stacey into giving him his new coat, because it will fit him better. Uncle Hammer is furious, and tells Stacey to let T. J. keep the coat. The day before Christmas, Papa returns from the railroads. That evening, everyone in the family, including L. T., gathers to tell stories. Eventually, L. T. tells the story of a previous Christmas, in 1876, when a gang of white men came to his house and killed his parents. The children are horrified, but Papa wants them to hear about their history. In the middle of the night, Cassie wakes to overhear the adults talking about the boycott of the Wallace store and of the need for someone to give the black community credit so they can shop in Vicksburg. They think of using the farm as collateral, but they don't want to lose their land.

The children are delighted to receive books for Christmas. Stacey and Cassie get books by Alexander Dumas and Christopher-John and Little Man get two volumes of Aesop's fables. The Averies join the Logans for Christmas dinner. Jeremy comes over and gives Stacey a whistle. Stacey doesn't know how to react, and after Jeremy leaves he asks Papa. Papa says there's nothing wrong with friendship, but that friendship with whites usually leads to trouble.

How do you describe your feelings and thoughts about respect and discrimination and why?

Discrimination can be defined as the unfair, unwanted, or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on their characteristics like gender, race, and sexual preferences. This is associated with biasness and criticism. This can be responsible for the development of stress, depression, and mental disorders. This is associated with disrespect.
