Answer:
D. The real impact of racial segregation is emotional damage to minority students.
Explanation:
Brown v. Board of education refers to the US Supreme Court's decision from 1950s that separation of students of different color, although providing equal factors to their schools, as to the "white" schools, still is unconstitutional.
So, we basically have "white" schools and "black schools" in which cirricula, teacher salaries, buildings and all other factors are equalized.
However, the problem that remains is the need for separation of these schools. Doing so, creates emotional damage to minority students, who, in this situation feel like they are less valuable and deprived of contact and socializing with their peers.
So, all those equal "tangible" factors mentioned above don't contribute to true equality if the students need to be separated by race into different schools.
The third option, C, seems correct to me. This is because in Dylan Thomas' poem, it symbolizes night as death and light as life. Using poetic devices, he talks about his father who is on the verge of death (night) but should still defy his fate by clinging onto life (light) so that he doesn't go gentle into death.
Let me know if you need anything else. :)

Answer:
Type of Verbal: Gerund phrase
Verbal Phrase: Crossing the street on a red light
Explanation:
A gerund phrase is a verbal phrase that consists of a gerund (which it's made up of the verb root of a verb + -<em>ing</em>) and modifiers of that object, and sometimes, it also includes objects. The primary function of this type of phrases is to act as a noun, therefore they can be subjects, objects or complements.
In the sentence, "Crossing the street on a red light" is the gerund phrase because it has a gerund (Crossing), an object (the street) and modifiers ( on a red light). Furthermore, it is also the subject of the sentence because it is what's being described.
